Hillary’s Brave New World by
Matt Kaufman, Citizen magazine Copywright ©1998 |
“There’s abundant psychological research showing that what
children need is an intimate, warm and continuous relationship with their
mothers,” (Developmental psychologist Brenda) Hunter told Citizen. “Day care
can’t provide that.”
The French centers that captivated Mrs. Clinton, with their special spots
for parental hellos and goodbyes, strike Hunter as appalling. She recoils at
the thought of “designated spots for grieving and designated spots for
anticipation.
“I’ve heard of day care children who start watching the door at 2:00 in the
afternoon for their parents. Those who are picked up first are joyful, and
those who stay undergo real stress and trauma. They just wait and wait for
their parents to pick them up.”

Hillary’s Brave New World by
Matt Kaufman, Citizen magazine Copywright ©1998 |
“Institutional care is harmful to children,” (Robert Rector,
senior policy analyst for family issues at The Heritage Foundation, a
leading think tank in Washington, D.C.) told Citizen, with complications
ranging from stunting emotional development to breeding disease.
...Rector said the incentives in the Clinton proposal, offering tax credits
only to parents who choose what Rector calls “child-rearing factories,” ...
...“It’s a policy of fiscal punishment [for traditional families],” he
said...

"Daycare, Child, and Family Influences on Preschoolers'
Social Behaviors in a Peer Setting' by Lisabeth F.
DiLalla, Child Study Journal, Vol. 28, Number 3., 1998 |
Daycare did not increase children's socialization; it may
have even decreased it. Children who had less daycare behaved in a
more "prosocial" manner than children who had more daycare. Children
who had never been in daycare were also more prosocial than their peers.

Caution: These Stocks are Still Teething by Adele Malpass,
Business Week, 9-Feb-98 |
President Clinton's $21.7 billion package of tax credits and other
child-care incentives...has increased enthusiasm on Wall Street for
child-care stocks. "More government spending is a big plus for the
handful of publicly traded companies that provide the services," says Leslie
Nelkin, an analyst at Furman Selz. The day after Clinton previewed his
plan on Jan. 7, Nelkin put out buy recommendations on three child-care
stocks...(but)...day care is a difficult business.

Caution: These Stocks are Still Teething by Adele Malpass,
Business Week, 9-Feb-98 |
Keep in mind, too, that child-care stocks, which also include traditional
day-care providers, are vulnerable...
"the industry is overregulated, recession-prone, and price-sensitive," notes
Gerald Odening, a Salomon Smith Barney analyst. Tuition costs have
remained flat for the past 25 years, making it difficult for the companies
to improve profit margins or expand services. In addition, the
national chains compete with lower-cost non-profits and mom-and-pop
operations. |
Day-Care Capital by Kathryn Jean Lopez
The Women's Quarterly, Spring 1998, p18 |
...the U. S. House of Representatives Child-Care Center...is the daily
warehouse for kids of members and congressional staff.
...On Capital Hill, even stanch conservatives now lead untraditional lives
and have bought the politically correct line on day care.

Day-Care Capital by Kathryn Jean Lopez
The Women's Quarterly, Spring 1998, p19 |
The congressional centers are run "by the book," their administrators say.
Officials call them "first-rate," and will repeatedly, without prompting,
assure a visitor that the facilities meet all guidelines from the National
Academy for Early Childhood Programs.
However, even a day-care advocate's heart would break to see the little
red-haired boy I watched in one of the House center's rooms, rocking back
and forth alone in a sea of toys, while staring at the corner wall.
Or the boy I remember passing one cold day last winter, who stood in the
backyard of the Senate center, holding on to the wire fence, looking
longingly at the traffic. |
