[quote=Anonymous]As for the infant/toddler thing, I actually think that it is more important to be with a two year old for more of his or her day than an infant. This is the time they are learning to talk and learning how to understand the world. Completely leaving most of their waking hours to someone else when they are so impressionable bothered me more than leaving a young baby, who just needed love and care, and that's when i quit working. I do think they benefit from some preschool, but i am talking sbout full-time daycare. This is a time when they also start to understand what different parents do, and by three they certainly get whether a parent is with them most of the time or not and can compare their situation with friends who either go to daycare or stay with mom or dad most of the time. Whether they see them as positive, negative or neutral, they notice these distinctions. In any event, I think a lot of the posters have been working moms of infants, so I just thought I would raise this. [/quote]
