Warning Signs of Daycare Abuse
Listen to your kids and take them seriously if they tell you something about daycare makes them uncomfortable. Often, young children are simply unsettled in an unusual environment. However, it is better to listen and ask questions than later discover a facility was taking advantage of your little one. If your child indicates abuse or neglect, but you are still not certain, consider speaking parents of other children at the daycare.
In some instances, children can't or do not want to talk about these things. Don't take their silence as a sign that all is well, though. There are cues to watch for that could indicate a problem at daycare.
Things to look for that may signal daycare abuse:
- Changes in behavior or extreme mood swings.
- Acting out inappropriate sexual activity or showing an unusual interest in sexual matters.
- Sudden acting out of feelings, or aggressive or rebellious behavior.
- Regression to infantile behavior or clinging.
- School problems, behavior problems.
- Changes in toilet-training habits.
- Fear of certain places, people, or activities; an excessive fear of going to the day care center.
