[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] calm down gotcha girl. I'm not your hated psychologist. I posted the link bc I was tired of reading smug PPs unable to google stuff. there's much larger and better studies since this. [/quote] So, out of curiosity, since "there's much larger and better studies since this" you posted this link instead of those bigger and better studies because....? [/quote] Np here. Didi you start your child in full time daycare after he/she was 18 months old and before he/she turned three-years-old? What was your personal outcome? [/quote] NP PP, I think you meant to ask, "Did you start your child in full time daycare after he/she was 18 months old and before he/she turned three years old, and was it a huge parenting mistake?"[/quote] I think I'm gotcha girl. I did think you were the psychologist- I'm actually glad to hear you're not, because the study you posted doesn't remotely support the assertion that was being discussed- that kids who start day care between 18 and 30 months suffer, and risk life long psychological issues. I would have been a bit disturbed if a professional so badly misinterpreted that study. I didn't post so much to catch you in something, but I think it's a little ridiculous when people post on here, day in and day out, citing ambiguous studies for issues when there is no clear consensus or answer. I'm sure there are some kids who have attachment issues, and for whom starting day care at that age is detrimental. On the other hand, I started one of my kids in day care at 18 months, and I haven't seen a hint of attachment or other issues (he's 5). And yes, that's obviously the reason I waded into this kerfuffle- because this is honestly the first time I have ever heard that 18 months was a bad age to start day care. I can assure you that no one at the top notch day care we toured mentioned it at the time. I guess that's what this whole site is about, but I just don't understand why some people insist on citing studies in a quest to prove that there is one right way to raise every kid.[/quote]
