My warning to parents is simple: one
in five children put into nursery early will develop mental health problems
The Daily Telegraph, 13-Mar-06 |
The Tasmania (Australia)-based
therapist...directs his gentle wrath at the...British parents who "slam"
their children into full-time nursery care, from 8am to 6pm, from the age of
six months.
"... But the 'slammers', as I call them, tend to be affluent, urban
professional couples -so they do have a choice. It is the cultural norm for
everyone in their circle to use day care."

The Daily Telegraph, 13-Mar-06 |
Biddulph concedes that what he is saying
can seem obvious, however: "Only, now, there is hard science to back up the
common sense. One in five children put into nursery (childcare) too early
develops mental health problems. If you treble (triple) the hours of care,
you treble the damage.

"The
Blair Government is all about control-freakery," Biddulph says. "They want
women working and babies in crèches. They even have a 'toddler curriculum'
in which 'development boxes' are ticked*. Who
speaks for human values in all this?"
*Ticked = checked
- to put a checkmark on a square on a form

My warning to parents is simple: one

The Daily Telegraph, 13-Mar-06 |
Biddulph paints a grim picture of
British nurseries: "Babies lying in rows of cots, then milling about in
garish rooms through their toddler years, aching for one special adult to
love them." What no one likes to talk about, he says, is that, in nursery
care, children are often looked after in bulk - on a 1:3 or 1:8 ratio,
compared with 1:1 at home. "It's like fast food, we can enjoy the
convenience of drive-through." The nursery staff, he adds, are often
underpaid teenagers with minimal qualifications, with a turnover rate of 40
per cent a year. "The worst nurseries (daycares) are negligent, frightening
and bleak - a nightmare of bewildered loneliness."

Day care bad for the brain?
by Lydia Lovric, The
Winnepeg Sun, 10-Apr-06 |
Day-care workers and Liberal politicians
need to stop pushing for a national child-care scheme.
If Prime Minister Harper does one thing during his entire time in Ottawa,
let's hope he squashes national day care. It isn't good for kids and
it isn't good for Canada. The only people who are truly served by such a
plan are day-care workers and politicians because it encourages more parents
to work outside the home, thus giving government more money in income tax
revenue.
