Steve Biddulph, the favourite number one name in parenting
psychology – and bestselling author of Raising Boys – examines
how different childcare options are likely to affect you and your
child in this rivetting and highly topical book This topical book
tackles a key issue all new parents face. Steve Biddulph looks at
childcare choices and the dilemmas that so often arise: - ‘I want
to stay at home with my child but don’t know how I can’ - ‘I
don’t know what is better: nursery, creche or childminder’ -
‘if other people look after my child will it affect its
development and happiness?’ It examines the two-income ‘slaves
to work’ culture in the UK and how in the past ten years, the
number of babies and toddlers under three who are spending all day
(8am to 6pm) in nurseries has quadrupled. Biddulph urges caution
and warns that the hurried and disconnected way that families now
live their lives could be damaging to a whole new generation’s
mental stability and development. The book is an eye-opener in
terms of child development and provides useful case studies from
parents who are stay-at-home and those using all-day or part-time
childcare – groups sociologists have named ‘slammers’ and
‘sliders’ respectively.
