Daycare Debunked with Erica Komisar, LCSW

In this episode, we challenge the conventional wisdom surrounding the development of children and explore the impact of daycare on their early years. ‪@ericakomisarlcsw1018‬
Renowned clinical psychoanalyst and social worker, Erica Komisar, joins us from New York City to share her expertise. Author of "Being There: Why Prioritizing Motherhood in the First Three Years Matters" and "Chicken Little The Sky Isn’t Falling: Raising Resilient Adolescents in the New Age of Anxiety," Komisar sheds light on the importance of maternal presence and its role in neurological development during the formative years.
As we discuss the societal pressure on mothers to enroll their children in daycare for socialization, we confront the common belief that mothers alone may not be sufficient for a child's optimal development. Komisar addresses this dilemma, drawing on her extensive research and experiences, and explores the impact of daycare on children compared to playdates with other moms. Additionally, the episode touches on the alarming rise in personality disorders, particularly in young women, and ADHD.

Eve a nice daycare place on 40 hours a week, is still a part-time orphanage experience.

I have to agree the effect on the child is much the same but we adults choose to perceive it differently, telling each other kids need each other more than us.
