Exactly *my* point, thank you. Children normally *do* remember some things about the caregivers they had before preschool age. The fact that you remember not a thing, is astoundingly revealing.

If you should ever study child development, you'll see that after enough severed attachments (each situation and child is different,) children simply stop attaching to the parade of caregivers. Continued repetition of severed attachments teaches children to not trust in the "safety" (as in stability) of their environment. Such early childhood experiences have profound long-term consequences, even if as adults we claim to be "just fine."

By the way, "The Hell of American Daycare" has a lot to do with the typical high-turnover rate of the poorly compensated workers. If your caregivers stayed on for years at a time, consider yourself fortunate.

I'm attached to my parents. Who else is there to attach to? Children differentiate very easily between parents and non-parents, regardless of how often the latter change. I didn't grow up here so whatever they do in American daycares didn't affect me one bit.

In your whole tirade, only one thing is true: each situation and child is different.  So you can't really make any statements applicable to all children.  Some children, as you claim, may agonize over 'severed attachments'.  Some understand quite clearly that the only source of stability is family. Everyone else comes and goes. [/quote]
