The work of people like John Bowlby, Selma
Fraiberg, Robert Karen, Jay Belsky, Ronald Haskins and Mary Ainsworth, to
name but a few, has shown a clear connection between extended periods of
maternal absence, and lengthy stays in day care (as little as 10 hours a
week) for infants, and later developmental problems.

"Children deprived of parental care in early
childhood are likely to be withdrawn, disruptive, insecure, or even
intellectually stunted. New research [even suggests] that the depression
resulting from separation anxiety in early childhood can cause a permanent
impairment of the immune system making these children prone to physical
illness through their lives."

Ernest Foyer, former U.S. commissioner of
education, and president of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching, has said that children in day care suffer in terms of language
skills development. A recent American study of 4000 children found that
mothers who return to work soon after giving birth may harm their child's
school performance. The study showed that children of mums who work
full-time struggled academically compared with those whose mums stayed at
home. Other studies have even found that children who spend a
lot of time in child care are more likely to join gangs as surrogate
families.

Australian studies...have to admit that children
brought up in long hours of day care are more aggressive, bratty and
uncooperative.
Indeed, other Australian researchers have found
that these bratty preschoolers are more likely to grow up to be chronic
drink-drivers*. Other Australian studies have found that children do
better in school if they have not been in child care.
