Before You Place Your Child In Day Care...

Pre-school day cares should be considered only
in desperate circumstances.
The percentage of (daycare is) hardly "high-quality", as most caregivers &
parents realize. Some of it is no more than "child
warehousing": children parked in front of a TV or left lying in a crib.
A research project by Dr. R. Moskins in 1985 investigated primary school age
children who had been reared in an extremely high-quality day care center at
the University of North Carolina. They were found, "...as more likely to use
aggressive acts of hitting, kicking, & pushing than children in the control
group...more likely to swear, threaten, & argue...teachers were more likely
to rate these children as being seriously deficit in social behavior...less
apt to use strategies of walking away, discussion, or compromise to avoid or
extract themselves from ...aggression."

Day Care is Harmful to Children
by Gregory
Flanagan, www.libertocracy.com,
2001 |
"If (people) really cared about mothers and
children, they would make sure that every woman knows how harmful daycare
can be, and they'd support policies that would cut taxes for families to
allow them to make it on one income and provide mothers the opportunity to
stay home and care for their children -- which is what the vast majority
of mothers want to do in the first place. (They) should
be proclaiming to the world the superiority of mother-care over daycare... The evidence that children are far
better off in the care of their mothers than in day care is overwhelming."

Day Care is Harmful to Children
by Gregory
Flanagan, www.libertocracy.com,
2001 |
Who will care for the children? We are at "an
evolutionary crossroads," says Dr. Stanley Greenspan, a clinical
professor of psychiatry and pediatrics at George Washington University
Medical School.
"...Most caregivers in day care centers aren't able to form long-term or
in-depth relationships with the children in their care." As Dr.
Greenspan points out, this is a result of high staff turnover, the multiple
children in their care, and the fact that children change "classes" and
"teachers" each year in day care centers.

Day Care is Harmful to Children
by Gregory
Flanagan, www.libertocracy.com,
2001 |
In 2001, Researchers (at the National Institute
on Child Health and Human Development) found that children who spend most of
their time in non-parental child care are three times more likely to exhibit
behavioral problems as those who are cared for by their mothers...the study
found a direct correlation between time spent in child care and traits like
aggression, defiance and disobedience...[and that] the findings held true
regardless of the type or quality of care, the sex of the child, the
family's socioeconomic status or whether mothers themselves provided
sensitive care.
