Breeding Little Monsters: How Day Care
is Exposing America's children to Unnatural Plagues
by Bryce Christensen,
www.profam.org, June 2002 |
In an environment one child psychologist
has characterized as "dangerously different," day care children learn to
hit, to kick, to swear, to tease, and to argue more than children cared for
at home. Predictably, in a landmark 2001 study, researchers at the
National Institute of Child Health found that unnaturally
"negative/aggressive behavior" was strongly correlated with hours in
non-maternal child care. Other recent studies have documented
unnaturally elevated levels of cortisol -- symptomatic of a physiological
reaction to stress -- in blood samples taken from day care children and have
linked day care to an unnaturally high incidence of "insecure ambivalent"
child-mother bonds.

Breeding Little Monsters: How Day Care
is Exposing America's children to Unnatural Plagues
by Bryce Christensen,
www.profam.org, June 2002 |
In their tireless efforts to normalize day
care,...activists have enjoyed the cooperation of a pliant media --
predictably enough, since many of the writers, editors, and broadcast
journalists are themselves now dependent upon day care. Consequently,
relatively few of the medical and psychological risks of day care have
received much media attention.

Breeding Little Monsters: How Day Care
is Exposing America's children to Unnatural Plagues
by Bryce Christensen,
www.profam.org, June 2002 |
Perhaps when it comes to the adverse
psychological effects of day care, the media conspiracy of silence can be
maintained for some years yet. Already well-credentialed sophists*
are explaining away these psychological effects as the overly negative
interpretations of inadequate data. But somewhere in some day care
child's diaper or on some other child's saliva-covered toy lurk the tiny but
increasingly lethal pathogens that guarantee that ugly truths about day care
will eventually break through. No sophistry is shrewd enough, no media
bias is broad enough, to hide the kind of epidemics day care is now
incubating.
* Sophism: a seemingly reasonable
argument that is actually invalid.
