[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP- I'm the 15:16 poster. I'm glad I gave you some food for thought on the upsides of daycare. I use a federally run daycare and it is exceptional. I can concede that not all daycares are great, or even good. I hope you can accept that kids can reap rewards from daycare. In our American society, we value independence, performance, order, control. All of these qualities were introduced at my daycare. Daycare taught my kids how to clean up after themselves; throw away their own trash; unpack their own lunch; push in their chair when they are done; say "please" and "thank you" and "excuse me". Of course, I reinforce these behaviors at home. I know many kids with SAHMs where these behaviors are not nutured or reinforced. I get it- the dynamic is different with Mom. Mom is the 24 hour caretaker. When I send my kids to daycare they understand that their teachers take care of them. They also understand that they are expected to take care of themselves. [/quote]
