Who Needs Parents?
The Effects of Childcare and Early Education on
Children in Britain and the USA, by Patricia Morgan,
October 1996, p
40 |
Behavioural problems have been
evident in the batch of childcare studies which have been carried out on the
island of Bermuda, where non-maternal care is commonplace. At the age of two
group-care infants were more apathetic, less attentive, less socially
responsive, less verbally expressive, and more maladjusted generally. Those
children who spent the longest hours in care were the least well adjusted.

A similar story emerged from the New York Infant
Daycare Study following assessment of the psychological adjustment of over
four hundred low-income children in minder, group, and home-care. Tested
when they entered care and again at 18 and 36 months, it was the
group-care children who were the most disadvantaged linguistically,
emotionally and socially with adults.

Whether insecurely or securely attached to their
mothers, daycare children have been shown to be generally and significantly
more aggressive, more non-compliant and more prone to behavioural problems
on starting school.

Similarly, another study
of four-year-old children who had been attending high-quality nurseries
attached to universities found that those who had attended full-time daycare
were more aggressive ... than those who only attended part-time.

Males are clearly more vulnerable than girls to
inadequate childcare quality, as borne out by the rates of non-compliance
among children in childcare of different quality.
(Because...) There is a general tendency for boys to be more vulnerable to
the ill effects of all manner of family stress and bond disruptions.
