This has become endemic in the narcissistic world of entitlement

I have never met a single young human - who went through this horror - who did NOT - hold the parent who did the alienating accountable - as a young adult - with a very high proportion of them - severing relationships with the parent who told lies about the other parent.

You might want to think about that before you destroy your child’s relationship with one of the two most important people in its life - for your own egoic poisonous need to control.

It never ends well in truth.

Truth

Daycare is not normal. It is a trauma for young children to be separated from their parents.

Children are biologically wired for deep, secure attachments with their mother and father. In the earliest years, their brains, nervous systems, and emotional foundations are shaped by consistent, loving presence—especially from their mothers. When that bond is disrupted too soon or too often, the consequences are profound.

Research shows that children in daycare often experience elevated cortisol levels—stress hormones that interfere with emotional regulation, sleep, and brain development. Children may appear “adapted,” but inside, many are coping with chronic stress, confusion, and emotional disconnection.

Just look at the tears, the panic, the heartbreak at daycare drop-off. That’s not resilience—it’s protest. Children were not made for this!

Daycare environments, no matter how well-intentioned, cannot replicate the safety of a bonded caregiver. Rotating staff, overstimulation, and institutional routines are developmentally misaligned with what young children need: their mother’s presence, attunement, warmth, and constancy.

We were never meant to outsource attachment.

And yet—we understand. Many parents face economic pressures and limited choices. This is not a condemnation. It’s a call to re-center what children truly need—and to build a culture that empowers parents to meet those needs without penalty or shame.
