Once this foundation is recognized then the work of creating policies beneficial to children can be more reasonably approached. This paper will explore the legal and natural history of parental rights, the current trend away from them, and ways to reverse this trend. October 2003.

The issue of child care has been called one of America's most urgent national crises.

This paper examines some of the important issues surrounding child care and asks if public policy should be focused on making it easier for parents to leave their children with other people, or on making it easier for parents to care for their children themselves? November 2000.
