The statistics are not new. Experts in child
development and psychology have released previous research reporting the
link between childcare and aggressive behavior. A 1999 article in
Developmental Psychology based on the National Longitudinal Survey* of Youth
found more working hours for mothers was associated with lower academic
achievement scores for children before age seven and lower cognitive
development scores for children before age nine. In 1990 child-care expert,
Dr. Jay Belsky found that infants during their first year who encounter
"early and extensive non-maternal care" fail to develop the level of secure
infant-parent bonding that children with maternal care develop.
Longitudinal studies - Studies in which
variables relating to an individual or group of individuals are assessed

Nevertheless, proponents of childcare ignore the
fact that the studies show the quality of childcare "did not eliminate the
link between hours in care and behavior problems" and that problem behavior
was "greater for children in center-based care."
Investing billions of dollars into a program (of daycares) that perpetuates
child behavior problems is not the solution working mothers need. It insults
both women and motherhood and costs children.

...A Wirthlin Worldwide poll asked respondents to
rate nine choices of care for pre-school children, and child care centers
came in last. Most parents intuitively understand that no one
(daycare) can raise and meet the needs of a child better than the parent,
and the environment of a young child profoundly impacts his or her
development.
..."Equally important in children's development are the influences on
personality and emotional development. Some psychologists indicate
that by the time a child turns six, about 85 percent of its personality is
already formed. Therefore, parents cannot
overlook the scientific link between early child care and the development of
aggressive behavior," said Dr. Crouse.

Children were created to be raised in a family
and they thrive best there rather than in a day care center. Early
separation from the family environment brings too high a risk of negative
consequences in a child's development.
