Who Will Rock the Cradle?

Warnings about full-time daycare’s
potential to harm very young children have often been strangled, even
literally suppressed.
Caution lights have appeared, yet we’ve chosen to ignore them. We have not
wanted to notice.

…American parents have been getting terrible
advice from some of the experts on whom they’ve relied. Many prominent child
advocates have been intimidated out of saying anything critical about
daycare.
As a result, a broad spectrum of informed opposition to daycare based solely
on children’s interests has been bullied into silence.

Professor Antonina Kloskowska summarized the
findings of the (1970) Warsaw symposium in these words:
“The facts presented during the symposium supported the conclusion that the
psychological development of the child in its initial years is
better in an
ordinary home environment than at any state child care facility regardless of how excellent it is.”

…what is the quality of care received in
these (supposedly high-quality Swedish) institutionalized centers? Anna Wahlgren, a journalist and
employed mother…reported in the Swedish newspaper Reportage in 1980:
“Children are drugged. Infants are given nerve medicines. Healthy, normal,
ordinary children are given tranquilizers so that they will sleep. There are
four-year-olds who have developed dependency syndromes. There are child
daycare centers where half the children are given sleeping pills and others
where pre-written, ready-made prescriptions are available without a doctor
giving as much as five minutes of his time to either child or parent.”
