Government Daycare—Eliminating
Families?, cwfa.org, 9-Jan-98 |
(The) President hosted yet another warm
and fuzzy press conference this week to announce a $22 billion dollar
daycare program benefiting government bureaucracy at the expense of parents
and their children. The plan? To take your hard earned tax dollars and give
them to businesses, the day care lobby...
The goal? To benefit parents only if they let non-family providers care for
their children.
...Polls in which moms are asked to list their preference for types of
childcare have consistently ranked daycare centers last.
...Therefore, if the White House really wants to help working women, then
instead of federalizing institutional daycare they should reduce the tax
burdens on parents.

Child care and the feminist agenda
by Mona Charen,
jewishworldreview.com, 16-Jan-98 |
But the whole concept of chirpy,
well-lit child centers with Ph.Ds changing diapers and playing Mozart is a
fantasy that only liberals could believe in. No amount of money the
government could possibly collect would be enough to fund such centers
around the country. And even if it were financially feasible, it would
probably be an emotional failure. Yes, infants and toddlers need
intellectual stimulation. But the most important thing for young children is
the consistent, loving attention of at least one person who would walk
through fire for them. The early research on child care suggests that
children raised by non-parents are more aggressive, less
sociable and less firmly attached to their parents than children
raised at home.

Day Careless
(dangers of day care
to children)
by Maggie Gallagher,
(Cover Story) National Review,
26-Jan-98 |
Not long ago, I stumbled across the following
datum in a 1992 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association
that may help explain why: In the course of one year of full-time day
care, a middle-class white male toddler was "likely to be bitten" nine
times.

Day Careless,
(dangers of day care
to children)
by Maggie Gallagher,
(Cover Story) National Review,
26-Jan-98 |
The trouble is that most day-care kids are,
indeed, in "other circumstances." Quality child care, as experts now
understand it, does not refer to variables such as group size or caregiver
training that can be regulated by government (day-care boosters tend to
be obsessed with licensing and training). Instead, quality care is
dependent on the same underlying emotional processes that make for strong
mother - child relationships. For young children,
high-quality care means a caregiver who stays with the child for long
periods -- "years, not months," says one expert. A high-quality
caregiver babbles, chatters, coos, hugs, strokes a baby or toddler, and
consistently makes the effort to respond warmly to his verbal and non-verbal
attempts at communication.
Few employees can meet such demanding standards.
