Family and Home Network Asks Government to
Adopt wholehearted Family Policy, by Cathy Myers,
familyandhome.org,
October 2003 |
“Research confirms how crucial it is for
parents to spend generous amounts of time with children from infancy through
the teen years,” said Cathy Myers, executive director of Family and Home
Network.
“Well-regarded professionals, such as pediatrician T. Berry Brazelton, M.D.
and child psychiatrist Stanley I. Greenspan, M.D., have suggested that
farming out the care of children to others (i.e., day care) is a 30 year experiment that
must be reassessed in light of what children require. However, federal,
state and local governments continue to promote the status quo, through a
tax code that discriminates against at-home parents, and an infrastructure
that provides extensive information on paid child care (daycare), without offering
adequate resources on at-home options,” said Myers.
...the government should be equally supportive of all child care choices,
and not favor one form of child care over another.
...Tax policies should not favor paid child care
(day-care) over parental care of
children.

Who's Minding the Kids?
Interrogatory,
Q & A by Kathryn Jean Lopez, interview of Brian
Robertson, author of "The Day Care Deception:
What the Child Care Establishment isn't telling us", National Review Online,
nationalreview.com
01-Oct-03 |
"...I don't think that child's place is in
commercial, group care, thrown together with a bunch of other infants and
toddlers, where he or she is eighteen times more
likely to become ill compared with children at home, four times more likely
to be hospitalized, and at 50 to 100 percent increased risk for contracting
a fatal or maiming disease for each year in day care. Where,
according to the government's own ongoing study of child care, that child
has a three times greater risk of developing serious behavior problems like
noncompliance, talking too much, arguing a lot, temper tantrums, demanding a
lot of attention, disrupting class discipline, cruelty, meanness, bullying,
explosive behavior, and getting in lots of fights. I think these and
other findings show that this vast social experiment of taking preschool
children out of the home setting for most of their waking hours is
incredibly risky at best. I think it's a ticking time bomb for our society"
