[quote=Anonymous]This aligns with my feelings and experience. My DD was not “ready” to be in a school-like setting until about 2.5. She did half-days with a nanny pick up until age 5 then Kindergarten full days after that. We just watched and listened to her and that’s what felt right. She’s happy and secure. No social issues. I lost a few years of my career and am still paying for it but my choice to do so was mine. We lived lean those years but have no regrets. I think parents who want to believe their kids are resilient and will be fine are unfortunately fooling themselves in many cases. The kids are not always fine—and certainly not those in daycare from 8-6 daily. It’s too much. [/quote]
