Mem Fox sparks new row claiming care hurts
baby brains, by Matthew Fynes-Clinton,
The Courier-Mail (Brisbane, Australia), 24-Oct-08 |
SENDING babies to long periods of
daycare is like maltreating the family puppy, according to children's author
Mem Fox.
"Putting babies as young as two weeks into child care for the first year of
their life, for 60 hours a week, will cause their brains damage," she said
in article to be published in tomorrow's Qweekend magazine.
She added: "For me, the corollary is buying a puppy, putting it in kennels
for the whole of the week and playing with it at the weekends. "I couldn't
do it to a dog, so I certainly couldn't do it to a child."

Down and Dirty: Ten Most Germy Jobs,
by
Joseph Brownstein, ABC News, 27-Oct-08 |
Gerba* said he often tells people, "If
you don't want to stay healthy, become a day care center worker."
Because of the children, whose hygiene habits often lead to their carrying
germs, microbes are abundant in
day care centers, studies find.
"Certainly, [day care center workers] get a high level of exposure," said
Gerba. "During the flu season ... in a day care center, about half of the
objects have a flu virus on it."
*Dr. Charles P. Gerba,
University of Arizona microbiologist, whose work on microbes has earned him
the nickname "Dr. Germ"

Childcare is bad for your baby, working
parents are warned
by Alexandra Frean, The Times (Britain)
11-Dec-08 |
Parents and governments are taking a
“high-stakes gamble” with the long-term wellbeing of children by subjecting
them to long hours of formal childcare from a very young age, according to a
Unicef* report.
The study...recommends that all children
should where possible be cared for by parents at home during the first 12
months of life.
The research, which draws on a wealth of
scientific and psychological studies, as well as government data, is bound
to reignite the fraught debate on whether overexposure to formal childcare
is bad for very young children.
...it cites research from Britain and the US suggesting that children who
spend too long in formal childcare at too young an age may suffer from
long-term effects, including behavioural problems, aggression, antisocial
behaviour, depression and an inability to concentrate

Day care putting children at risk,
by Adele Horin, The Sydney
Morning Herald (Australia), 12-Dec-08 |
The (UNICEF*) report, called The
Child Care Transition, describes the mass movement of young children
into child care as a "high-stakes gamble"...
The report, which draws on global and scientific studies, favours children
being cared for a home for the first year of their life...
