A much-anticipated report from the largest and longest-running study of American child care has found that keeping a preschooler in a day care center for a year or more increased the likelihood that the child would become disruptive in class — and that the effect persisted through the sixth grade.
The effect was slight, and well within the normal range for healthy children, the researchers found. And as expected, parents’ guidance and their genes had by far the strongest influence on how children behaved.
But the finding held up regardless of the child’s sex or family income, and regardless of the quality of the day care center.
Poor Behavior Is Linked to Time in Day Care

Hijacked
Last Friday, Dr. Miriam Grossman visited the National Press Club in Washington , D.C. to discuss her new book, Unprotected. You probably haven't heard of it. Grossman, a psychiatrist at UCLA's student health clinic, says her profession has been "hijacked" by radical politics. Unprotected reveals how campus health professionals often risk students' well-being in order to promote feminism, androgyny, and "anything goes" liberalism. The consequences can be devastating.

When a co-worker told bus supervisor Ray Lemon that he was ready to give his life to Jesus, Lemon says he suddenly felt "a clarity of purpose." An informal, low-key relationship on the job between the man and Lemon, an adherent to his church's new form of evangelism, had led to a life-changing transformation. For those who prefer their religion on the weekends — or not at all — the words "workplace evangelism" evoke chilling images: being cornered in cubicles by a pushy colleague, or finding unwanted tracts left in mailboxes or slipped under coffee cups.

Family Concerns

 It’s tough to enjoy life when you don’t like yourself. People who haven’t learned to accept and get along with themselves tend to have more difficulty accepting and getting along with others. Yet, the Bible repeatedly tells us to “love your neighbor as yourself.” I personally spent years having a hard time getting along with people, until I finally realized through the Word of God how my difficulty with other people was actually “rooted” in my difficulties with myself.
