Child Attachment Expert: We're Stressing Newborns & It's Causing ADHD! Hidden Dangers Of Daycare!

Erica Komisar

Interview, Fireside Chat

Erika Kumasar argues that rising rates of childhood mental illness, including ADHD and anxiety, stem from neglecting the critical developmental bond with a primary caregiver during the brain's first three years rather than from genetic predisposition. She contends that modern policies like daycare and the absence of paid parental leave disrupt essential attachment security, recommending that society prioritize one-on-one presence from parents over institutional care or peer socialization for infants. The speaker further asserts that restoring distinct maternal and paternal roles while implementing structural support, such as extended leave and reduced screen time, is necessary to prevent future psychological crises and address the root causes of emotional dysregulation.
