We are looking to start a family soon, and I am a little hesitant because of the cost of childcare. I have been looking at what in-home and daycare facilities charge and the range is pretty wide - about $400 to $1000 per month for an infant. I'm in

Smacking is an assault on children
The Guardian, Friday 30 April 2010
Front of my mind as I raced along the pavement was this: what if I don’t catch up with him in time? He was awfully fast for a four-year-old. My godson, possessed by a nuclear tantrum, had wriggled from my hand-hold while his mother fumbled with front-door key and baby brother, and was haring along the street towards the busy main road. As we approached the speeding cars, my only option was to rugby tackle him to a stop. His head hit the pavement with a crack. As I carried him, howling and thrashing, back home I was sure that his tears were as much related to a sore head as an injured ego. But sometimes, with children, brawn wins over brain.
At the beginning of the 18th century, fretful infants were scrubbed with salt, tightly swaddled and hung from a nail. Those early midwives would have been mightily bemused by the modern-day blether around co-sleeping and controlled crying. But, as childcare methods have developed, diversified and cleaved to the social anxieties of the hour, one seam has remained constant. Some subjects succeed in tying up a host of disparate ancient and contemporary concerns with a bow, and one of them is smacking.
Earlier this week the Council of Europe – which monitors compliance with the European convention on human rights – berated Britain for having failed to introduce a smacking ban more than a decade after a ruling that the practice violated children’s right to freedom from inhuman and degrading treatment. It’s not the first time that Britain has been criticised over smacking – we are one of only five EU countries not to have introduced a ban – and it won’t be the last time that such criticism has been blithely ignored. But, as the council steps up its campaign against physical punishment, it may well be that in coming months, defensive outrage is no longer an option.
Any proposed variation of a smacking ban immediately ignites a toxic touchpaper, encompassing as it does our peculiarly British preoccupation with human rights, European diktat, homebound state interference, parental responsibility and children’s place in society. Thus it seems pointless to note that the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child, from which this all stems, was an international rather than a European document, which the British government was heavily involved in drafting.
