Mothering: The infant daycare experiment
includes related articles on attachment in babies and
government policies and babies by Peg Lopata, findarticles.com,
Winter 1993 |
Children who were raised in daycare have poorer
peer relationships, are harder to discipline, have poorer work habits and
lower mental skills, are less sociable and more aggressive, have weaker ties
to their mothers, and are more poorly adjusted than children who were raised
in part-time child care or exclusive maternal care.(24) In the long run, for
middle-class children especially, daycare during infancy and early childhood
may lead to increased levels of peer orientation, decreased self-discipline,
and lower academic achievement

Gender differences may also exist. According to
one researcher, "It is highly probable that boys may be more sensitive than
girls to substitute care in infancy."
In the words of another, "Daily absence of mothers in middle-class families
may represent a considerable loss of resources for their boy children and
these are not replaced in the childcare setting." As Zigler* says, "Children
are dying in this system (of non-maternal child care), never mind achieving
optimum development."

Consider the country (Israel) that for 70 years used
substitute parenting to free up labor for building a new society and a
community-oriented adult population. From birth to adulthood, children on
Israeli kibbutzim lived with their peers and metapelet (caretaker) in a
children's house. Come evening, their parents would spend two to three hours
with them and then tuck them into bed. "It was inhuman, really inhuman,"
says Dorit Friedman, recalling her upbringing at Kibbutz Nachshon.
