In a recent book
by Dr. Peter Cook (Mothering Denied) describes better than most
others the difficulties that Dr. Jay Belsky has had convincing his fellow
scientists that social ideology is passing for, if not dictating, scientific interpretations of studies on this issue (as is true for the bedsharing debate), in favor of
dismissing the serious concerns and negative developmental correlates of infants and children being placed for long hours, early in their lives, in daycare centers.
You are talking about the wrong person, to put it mildly, but this is the assessment that need be made, to continue perpetuating the same self reinforcing belief on this issue, and memes to
dismiss legitimate scientific concerns and claims
by leading
scientists, as simple misplaced «alarmism» or
other.
