Daycare Bad for Children Says Top Psychologist

It's extraordinary to see many of the foundations of the feminist and liberal agenda collapse under the ongoing evidence concerning a number of issues that have been clouded out be politics and out-of-control political correctness, the latest being the long-term effects of dumping a child in daycare at an early age.

According to Aric Sigman, a fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine, placing a child in daycare "could raise its risk of heart disease," based on high levels of stress.

Sigman concludes that children being cared for by strangers over a long period of time sends stress hormones soaring, which in the short-term cause colds and coughs, and in the long-term, the higher potential for heart disease.

Children not getting time from their mother in the important first three years of their lives have a good chance of having difficulty building relationships when they become adults.

Sigman rightly notes that the focus on women’s rights, which includes women getting the "right" to go back to work after giving birth, sets aside the importance of looking honestly at the dangers daycare produces for children.

"The uncomfortable question remains: which is better for a young child during weekdays – the biological mother or a paid career at an institution?," said Sigman. "This has been a significant impediment, involving a serious conflict of interest: Women’s rights and self-fulfilment are not the same issue as a child’s well-being and may often compete for precedence."

Increased stress produces higher levels of cortison, which has been proven to lower resistance to infection and heart disease.
