Quebec daycare bad for children
By Kazi Stastna, canada.com ©The
Gazette (Montreal) 2-Feb-06 |
Quebec's much-heralded universal
child-care program might be good for the economy, but not for the kids
enrolled in it, a study by a Toronto-based think tank says.
...The researchers found that in the post-universal daycare period,
aggression among 2- to 4-year-olds increased by 24 per cent in Quebec,
compared with one per cent in the rest of Canada.
The relative increase in hyperactivity and anxiety was also substantial,
while certain social and motor skills declined.
The proportion of parents reporting nose or throat infections in newborns to
2-year-olds rose by about 20 per cent in Quebec, but stayed constant in the
rest of Canada.
"For almost every measure, we find an increased use of child care was
associated with a decrease in their well-being relative to other children,"
the authors write.
The well-being of parents also declined, with more mothers reporting
depression. There was also a greater incidence of hostile parenting and
dissatisfaction with spouses.

Study of Quebec daycare finds
'aggressive' kids
By Kazi Stastna, canada.com ©The
Gazette (Montreal) 2-Feb-06 |
A new study of Quebec's popular
subsidized daycare system has raised questions about the quality of the
...program citing..."strikingly negative" outcomes.
..."For almost every measure, we find that the increased use of child care
was associated with a decrease in their well-being relative to other
children," the study says. "For example, reported fighting and other
measures of aggressive behaviour increased substantially."
...The study also shows that mothers of daycare children were more depressed
and the quality of their parenting practices declined.

Quebec day-care program hurting kids:
economists, CBC News, cbc.ca;
2-Feb-06
|
Quebec's publicly funded day-care system
is hurting children, ...concludes a report on the widely applauded system.
"We uncover striking evidence that children are worse off in a variety of
behavioural and health dimensions, ranging from aggression to motor-social
skills and illness," say the three economists who wrote the report.
"Our analysis also suggests that the new child-care program led to more
hostile, less consistent parenting, worse parental health and lower-quality
parental relationships."
The report is by economics professors Michael Baker of the University of
Toronto, Jonathan Gruber of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and
Kevin Milligan of the University of British Columbia.
It was done for the U.S. National Bureau of Economic Research...

More on Dumping Kids in Day Care
by Dr. Rod Moser, PA, PhD, WebMD

Some parents (not all) literally dump
their kids in daycare so they can work to pay for toys they really do not
need. My issue is with them. They have the ultimate choice and they did not
choose their own baby.

Even the cleanest and most
sanitary day-care facility is a hotbed of contagion. Although we dearly love
children, their levels of personal hygiene are worse than you can imagine.
Kids are nose-pickers, free-sneezers, snot-wipers, and butt-diggers. When
you put a group of kids together, the only thing they will freely-share is
their microorganisms.

Day-care is big business. It is
expensive, and it should be. Some day-care providers in our county were
making less than the guy that cleans the dog cages at the pound, but someone
is making a profit. As much as day-care costs, the people that actually
diaper and feed your baby are terribly underpaid.
