Segments
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this clip, Erica Komisar argues that day-care is actively harmful for children under three.
Drawing on attachment theory and cortisol research, she explains how separating infants from their primary caregiver elevates stress hormones to levels the developing brain can't handle, laying the groundwork for insecure attachment, emotional dysregulation, and decades later a distrust of institutions, parents, and the world itself.
Erica Komisar is a clinical social worker, psychoanalyst, parent coach, and author. With over thirty years of experience in private practice, she works to alleviate pain in individuals who suffer from depression, anxiety, eating, and other compulsive disorders. She is the author of Being There: Why Prioritizing Motherhood in the First Three Years Matters.
