Daycare Dilemma

Irrefutable evidence continues to mount that
working mothers put their children at risk when they depend too much on
childcare. In three years of tracking the data and analyzing the most
respected and comprehensive studies, the Beverly LaHaye Institute has
reported that: (1) More than 30 hours of childcare a week can result in a
child becoming aggressive, defiant and disobedient, (2) The quality of
childcare does not appear to improve outcomes and the results hold true
whether the children are rich or poor, male or female, or whether they are
in institutionalized day care or are looked after by a relative or a nanny.
(3) Now, a new report -- called the most comprehensive and reliable study to
date -- indicates that the children of mothers who go back to work full time
while their children are infants have poorer mental and verbal development.

This distressing news (about delayed
development for children in daycares) comes at a time
when most childcare centers are redefining themselves as learning centers.
The new labeling caters to the parental desire to give a child every
advantage to reach his or her potential.

Specifically, the new study found that working
mothers are hindering their child's ability to learn by placing them in
alternative care-giving situations.
"...those children, on average, did not do well on school-readiness tests
when they were 3 years old", said Jeanne Brooks-Gunn of Columbia's Teachers
College and the lead author of the study.

Instead of spending time with their mothers,
these children are left in childcare centers that do not give them the
adequate undivided attention that they need. The study reports
that most childcare center classrooms do not meet all four recommended
guidelines -- for child-to-staff ratios, group sizes, teacher training, and
teacher education. The bottom line is simple: The best
environment to foster a child's intellectual development is one in which his
or her mother is actively involved on a day-to-day basis; the best
environment is the home.
