Study Links Extensive Child Care With More Aggressive Behavior
NJ101.5 ^ | Monday, March 26, 2007

Posted on 03/26/2007 5:18:45 AM PDT by Calpernia

A new study finds that children who received better quality child care before kindergarten had better vocabulary scores later on than those who received lower quality child care.

The study also finds that children who remained in child care longer were more likely to have behavior problems in the sixth grade.

Researchers say the effect of child care quality is consistent with other evidence showing that early experiences matter to a child's language development.

But, they say, parenting is a much more important predictor of a child's development.

The report appears in the current issue of Child Development. It tracked more than 13-hundred children since birth, making it the largest study of child care and development conducted in the U-S.

So they can mouth off to the teacher using two syllable words?

And, our government schools want kids at an ever younger age (with the federal funding ties, natch).

Calling Captain Obvious!

I have 2 children. One was raised by a 'modern woman' complete with child care from the start. The other was raised by a wiser woman who was allowed to spend time with her child.

Difference of day and night. The first has all the values of a liberal, in other words, not much and has no idea where I'm coming from.

You early bird, I've been waiting for this article to show up all day and finally found it here. ;)

In the meantime, one daughter isn't speaking to me right now because I sent her the article this afternoon.
