Family Research Abstract of the Week:
Persistent Peril,
worldcongress.org, 12-Sep-06 |
The tragedy of Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome (SIDS) can strike anywhere. But researchers have known for
some time that the risk of such tragedy increases markedly when babies
are taken out of the home and placed in non-parental child care...
...The reason that out-of-home care continues to markedly elevate the risk
of SIDS eludes the researchers.
...Baffled, the researchers can only remark that “it is unclear why child
care places infants at risk for SIDS, when the demographic characteristics
and sleep environment suggest that these infants should be at the same and
perhaps even lower risk for SIDS.” ...
...Why can modern epidemiologists simply not understand that no set of
medical or hygienic protocols will ever take the danger out of removing a
baby from in-home maternal care?

Respiratory infection risk high in
daycare tots, Reuters,
gulfnews.com,
7-Oct-06 |
Results of a large Danish study
confirm that young children who attend group childcare, especially those
without siblings, are at increased risk for catching respiratory infections
compared with their counterparts who are cared for at home.
The study, which included more than 135,000 children, also shows that the
increased risk is most pronounced in children under 2 years and is greatest
soon after they begin daycare...
...In children younger than 1 year, the first 6 months of daycare attendance
were associated with a 69-per cent higher incidence of hospital admission
for acute respiratory infection compared with children in home care.

Negative Utopias - the warnings of
science fiction by Beverly
Smith http://vuthruotherseyes.tripod.com/id2.html,

A ‘universal child care policy’ for
example might sound like it would financially assist anyone who provides
care of a child but it in effect only means state-run daycare and benefits
only those who use daycare...
...Government too gets more tax if all adults are full-time earners so it
has a vested interest in discouraging women from being home to take care of
their children.
...the state also will prefer to pay daycare to provide care of the young
than to give the parent a tax break because the daycare would pay tax
on the salary and the parent freed up to earn would also pay tax.
As for the value of universal daycare for children, think of it a parallel
way – what do you think of requiring all the imperfect or handicapped to be
in state-institutions? What do you think, for yourself one day, of
compulsory centers for the elderly?

Mothers Should Have the Choice Of
Daycare Or Job Protected Leave
by Teresa McEntire,
parenting.families.com, 7-Oct-06 |
Researchers have found that putting an
infant in long-hour daycare can have a negative long-term effect upon the
child's behavior and increase their stress level. Author of
Motherhood: How should we care for our children?, Anne Manne says,
"No-one would say to an adult, 'Look, if you're stressed and miserable for a
year or two, don't worry. Long-term you'll be fine.'" Yet for many children
this is essentially the position that they are being placed in.

Mothers Should Have the Choice Of
Daycare Or Job Protected Leave
by Teresa McEntire,
parenting.families.com, 7-Oct-06 |
Yet in the United States and Australia
women who...stay home with their children are looked down upon. The
government does not support their action. They don't even receive a tax
break like mothers who can claim daycare costs on their taxes.

Mothers Should Have the Choice Of
Daycare Or Job Protected Leave
by Teresa McEntire,
parenting.families.com, 7-Oct-06 |
In fact in Scandinavia infant
daycare is rarely used...
...In Scandinavia they found that "it's cheaper to pay parents because it is
so difficult to provide good institutional care...
...So the government decided to offer money to parents who usually do a
better job than any daycare could.
