From the young age of 6 weeks, some children are left in the care of "another mother." Although the child may believe he is fully cared for by his biological or adoptive mother, the child simply doesn't know whom to TRUST, except the one to whom he or she has been given. As a result, the child's HEART is getting molded by the caregiver.
Now, I can understand why some parents feel that they MUST continue to reach their career goals or the children will be completely homeless. But to assume that a person NEEDS more than the basics, is a lie in and of itself. The child left to himself to wander in a daycare, will feel the pain of seeing his or her parent depart regularly.
Instead, consider other options that allow the parent to stay with the child. Live in another home with an elderly couple or share a home with someone. Why do people need to put stress on a child, simply for the sake of making sure that the family has a roof over their head? Consider that parents in the Victorian era either had really high liking and desire to see children happy and good, and others saw children as a burden (hence orphanages). The ATTITUDE towards the children is understood by the child's heart. If a parent or guardian has a disliking of a child, THEY need the attitude change, NOT the children who must trust them with their care.
Even in day-cares, there are times where obscenity can brew. An unwanted gesture or glance. An inappropriate comment from another child. Some day-cares, which have workers that are less than professional can be dangerous for the child and could take serious attacks and gestures at the children. There are even some day-cares that believe in "brainwashing" the children to the point where they try to convince children of various obscene things or convince the children that the governmental powers are the only powers to trust. Such manipulations only hurt the children. Some a little. And some a lot.
Besides day-cares, there are early-child-development centers. Now I do not entirely disagree with early child-hood-development as a whole, but I DO disagree with using them as a babysitter and making sure each child MEETS up to some sort of professional standard. The child needs to feel loved more than need to feel he or she MUST adequately recite the Korean Alphabet at such a young age. Do people who actually learn multiple languages at a young age, ever actually use those languages or is it for the parental personal pride? I don't know. But a thing to think about when using early-child-development centers is to consider if YOU as the care-giver could possibly teach these things from home. The other thing to consider is if you actually WANT your child to feel that the BEST teacher comes from a "professional environment," when in reality the best teacher will be the child's own creator and redeemer!
Yes, there are some blessings from early-child-hood development, but in reality a child needs dirt, a little chore from home, and the encouragement from some good bible stories and phrases, more than exemplary skills in knowing so many languages and knowing so many artists, of whom he or she will NEVER see or hear about after he or she leaves the school environments. All in all, the child simply NEEDS love at this stage in their life, so include them in adult-like activities and the child will be fine for the rest of his or her life.
