A couple with a 14-month-old child is exploring daycare options due to their work and school schedules. They visited a daycare near the wife’s office, which seemed clean but had caregivers who ignored crying babies, claiming it teaches resilience. The advice columnist disagrees, suggesting that neglect can make babies anxious and encourages the couple to keep searching for a daycare with warmth, accessibility, and transparency. They recommend checking online reviews and social media and remind the couple that daycare should involve care, not neglect.
