DRUGGING THE CHILDREN
I find it "troubling" that the number of preschoolers being drugged
has increased sharply from 1991 to 1995 ["Toddler Rx rise causes
concern," News, Feb. 23]. Could it be that our society's rush to push
children into daycare has a bearing on this problem? Researchers
should make a comparison between children who are raised at home by a
parent, as opposed to those raised in daycare. Perhaps we would find
that it is necessary to drug our children so that parents can each
have fulfilling careers and nice things.
