Day Care Moms Don't Care
Many moms too willing to sacrifice their children for their careers.
by Rachel Brenc, The Cornell-American February 3rd, 2007
|
Plenty of studies have shown that day
care can have many negative effects on children, including increased
aggression and stress. My time at the day care proved to me the truth of
such statements. With four younger siblings of my own and countless
babysitting jobs, it was shocking to me when I first observed the errant
behavior of many of the kids at the day care...
Children would often cry for their mothers or fathers throughout the day, or
constantly ask, “When’s my mommy coming to get me?” Besides the desire to be
reunited with parents, many kids would act out and misbehave regularly. The
worst cases of misbehavior included children biting, punching, and kicking
other children, as well as throwing screaming fits on a daily basis and
having absolutely no respect for the staff or any kind of authority figure.

until he bled if he was angry for any reason.

Poor Behavior Is Linked to Time
in Day Care
by Benedict Carey, The New York Times, 26-Mar-07 |
A much-anticipated report from the
largest and longest-running study of American child care has found that
keeping a preschooler in a day-care center for a year or more increased the
likelihood that the child would become disruptive in class--and that the
effect persisted through 6th grade.
...the finding held up regardless of the child's sex or family income, and
regardless of the quality of the day-care center. With (many) preschoolers
attending day care, the increased disruptiveness very likely contributes to
the load on teachers who must manage large classrooms, the authors argue.
The research, ... part of the federally financed Study of Early Child Care
and Youth Development... (was) financed by the National Institute of Child
Health and Human Development (NIH)...

Children who go to nursery full-time
'become antisocial'
by Alexandra Frean, The Times, 5-Apr-07 |
Children in full-time nursery care are
more likely to display antisocial tendencies and anxiety than those who stay
at home or attend part-time, a government study has found.
(The research, from the University of Oxford and the Institute for Fiscal
Studies) found that toddlers spending more than seven hours a day in daycare
were more prone to be bossy, tease other children, stamp their feet,
obstruct other playmates and get anxious when toys or refreshments were
being handed round.

Children who go to nursery full-time
'become antisocial'

Cecily Hanlon, a nursery level teacher
from Leeds, (asked) "...Are parents being led to believe that the best thing
for their children is to be in peer groups looked after by other people?”

Children who go to nursery full-time
'become antisocial'
by Alexandra Frean, The Times, 5-Apr-07 |
There has been a long line of reports
suggesting that children who spend a long time in daycare are more likely to
show behavioural problems.
...Children who were in care for 30 hours a week or more were more likely to
exhibit the following behaviour:
Antisocial
- Tease other children and call them names
- Prevent other children carrying out routines
- Be bossy and need their own way
Worried or upset
- Frown, shrug shoulders, pout, stamp their feet when given an idea
- Be worried about not getting enough attention
- Be anxious about not getting enough access to toys or food and drink

Make informed choices on day care
Becky Tumidolsky, The Cincinnati Enquirer,
8-Apr-07 |
Unfortunately, many parents lack the information
they need to make educated decisions. Day care owners and operators are in
the business of selling day care. Media reports emphasize the positive and
downplay the negative. Pediatricians stay silent.

Make informed choices on day care
Becky Tumidolsky, The Cincinnati Enquirer,
8-Apr-07 |
Most child psychologists and early development experts agree:
...
• Repeated exposure to illness - a fact of life for day care children - does
not bolster infants' and toddlers' immune systems.
• "Caregiver roulette" is highly traumatic for babies and young children and
can have a profoundly negative, long-term effect on their ability to relate
to others.
• The more hours spent in day care before the age of three, the more likely
children are to exhibit antisocial behaviors and anxious attachment.

Make informed choices on day care
Becky Tumidolsky, The Cincinnati Enquirer,
8-Apr-07 |
Even the most dedicated child care workers
struggle to provide responsive care in a group setting. Consider their daily
routine: multiple feedings and diaper changes for four, five, six or more
children; disruptive bouts of crying and conflict; and few if any
opportunities to provide the one-on-one nurturing children so desperately
need.
