Middle class children 'are held back by
childcare' as they suffer 'significant declines' in their development
by Laura clark, The
Daily Mail (Britain),
27-Mar-12
|
Middle class children are adversely
affected by time spent in childcare, a study claims.
They suffer ‘significant declines’ in their development, health and
standards of behaviour, researchers found.
The study, being presented today at the Royal Economic Society’s annual
conference, suggests that childcare leads to a substantial drop-off in
parents’ involvement in their children’s upbringing.
The damaging effects are most marked for boys and for youngsters aged from
birth to two, prompting the researchers to suggest that childcare may not
‘be suited for children aged zero to two’.
Academics from Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada, studied a highly
subsidised childcare scheme in Quebec... with 10,000 youngsters a year being
studied.
(The) ‘lion’s share of the population experienced significant declines in
motor-social development and health measures as well as increased
behavioural problems’, the study found.
It added: ‘The reported benefits for children with least advantage, the
grounds on which universal childcare is often justified, stands opposite to
negative outcomes for the bulk of children.’

Childcare cost: Day care expense
rivals college cost, fuels social problems
by Stephanie Hanes, The Christian
Science Monitor, 23-Aug-12 |
See, there’s a major Catch-22*
in the child care cost problem. The main reason for the high cost of care,
advocates say, is the salary expense for day care centers. But child care
workers are some of the lowest paid professionals in the American workforce.
You can’t reduce costs, and you can’t charge more.
At the same time, many of the same advocates who decry the impact child care
expenses have on families are pushing for an increase in the quality of
care. This usually means better licensing, regulations and oversight, as
well as requirements for a better educated workforce. But these changes
would clearly make child care costs go up even further.

the satirical novel by the American author Joseph Heller, the phrase

Children in daycare at risk of being
obese, overweight: Study
by Isabel Teotonio, The Toronto Star (Canada),
20-Nov-12 |
That’s according to a new study by
researchers at the University of Montreal and the CHU Sainte-Justine
Hospital Research Center, which was recently published in the Journal of Pediatrics.
...Their research found that children who attended daycare were 65 per cent
more likely to be overweight between ages 4 and 10, compared with those who
stayed home with a parent.
