Indepth: Day Care
Day care in Canada
Canadian Broadcasting Corp
www.cbc.ca, 25-Oct-04 |
(Some) hold the
Quebec system up as a model for the rest of Canada, but the program has
had its critics.
...The Action démocratique du Québec called the $5-a-day (day care) program
a "Soviet-style" service...
...In 2004, there were also growing complaints about the cleanliness and
quality of food in Québec day-care centres...

HOME-ALONE AMERICA
by Maggie Gallagher, uexpress.com,

Small children who share toys, saliva
and other bodily fluids with other kids do get sick more often...
...Children who attend day care appear to be more stressed, on average, than
children at home (their cortisol levels rise during the day). ..
...There is good evidence of an... increase in aggression in day-care kids.
But for Mary Eberstadt, (author of Home-Alone America,)
the last straw is human biting: "To browse the literature is to learn that
many babies and toddlers in institutionalized care bite, and bite a lot.
They bite themselves, one another and, of course, teachers and adults too."
"What is the mental state of a bunch of babies and toddlers who take up
biting as a habit?" ... Eberstadt is pretty confident: "The kids aren't
happy."

The Myth of High Quality Day Care
Day Care Advocates Overlook the Importance of
Parent-Child Bonding to Healthy Child Development,
by Claudio Violator and Adrienne Snow, 26-Nov-04 |
So, ultimately, the quality of the day care in
which the child is placed is irrelevant. The child does not know or care if
his day care workers have degrees in early childhood education, or are
unionized, or are highly paid. It is of little consequence for the child's
emotional development if the day care is licensed, has brightly colored
facilities, or lots of educational toys. From the
child's perspective, this is first and foremost the place where he is
abandoned by the person he desperately wants to be with.

The Myth of High Quality Day Care
Day Care Advocates Overlook the Importance of
Parent-Child Bonding to Healthy Child Development
by Claudio Violator and Adrienne Snow, 26-Nov-04 |
Given the inherently distressing nature
of day care for young children, it is hardly surprising that high quality
care was found to be as likely as other non-parental care to negatively
influence their development.

The Myth of High Quality Day Care
Day Care Advocates Overlook the Importance of
Parent-Child Bonding to Healthy Child Development,
by Claudio Violator and Adrienne Snow, 26-Nov-04 |
Research into the importance of
parent-child attachment to healthy psychological development shows us that
well before children learn to read and write, they are busy learning to
trust and love. Optimistic claims of the advocates for universal day care
notwithstanding, it appears that during the first
few years of a child's life, when it comes to these all-important lessons in
love, there's no place like home.

The Symptoms of
Parent-Withdrawal
By Rachel Mahaffey, consideringhomeschooling.org, 17-Dec-04 |
The reality is well-known among experts.
Dr. Janice Shaw Crouse, senior fellow of the Beverly LaHaye Institute,
reports, "We've known for years that the outcomes are undesirable when
children spend too much time in day care. Regrettably, though, the negative
findings of the comprehensive studies are buried in the small print while
the headlines trumpet messages that make parents feel OK about putting their
children in full-time day care."

The Symptoms of
Parent-Withdrawal
By Rachel Mahaffey, consideringhomeschooling.org, 17-Dec-04 |
Children in day care are not taught
social skills or education. Children are often put into "overcrowded or
otherwise unloving child care situations in which they have been forced as
an infant to fight for attention
