Okay, I'm doing revision right now (well, not right NOW - otherwise I would've posted this here)

It's a psychology question that goes like this:
(Probably one for the social helpers out there.....)

Okay,
"Bowlby's theory of attachement stated that children who are incapitated for institutionalised (deprived of a mother and/or separated for a long time) become changed in form of manner as well as lifestyle. They develop a manner of behaviour similar to their own personal living - including a lesser tendency to form social attachments and social participation."

"In addition, they are less capable and likely of returning love to their own families later on in life: especially mothers, since they haven't been taught the ways of handling and returning love. Consulting experiments have shown that they tend to neglect their own children - leaving them to fend for themselves at a very early stage in life."

"The introduction of Daycare Centres enabled mothers to allow their children to form social developements, as well as confidence in making further social participation later on in life."

"However, this method's liability includes the deprivation of the child's parents as well as leaving them a great chance of being unsocial with their families later on in life."

Practice Questions:

A) Evaluate the qualities and limitations of "home-parenting" alongside "Daycare". By letting children go to Daycare Centres, is it depriving him/her of maternal/paternal relationships? Or is it beneficial? Should children be allowed to go to Daycare centres?

It says that Daycare is a good thing since it allows social development and interaction in the child. But THEN contradicts this by saying that this "deprives" the child of parental relationships?

This is scrambling my head.

And there are another 3 more questions to go.
