[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Children who spent a lot of time in daycare as babies and toddlers have more behavior problems in school than children who were cared for by a family member or a nanny. It's important for babies to form attachments to their caregivers, which doesn't happen in daycares because of all the other kids around and the staff turnover. I feel bad for people who can't afford to stay home or hire a nanny or have grandma babysit all day, but I keep it to myself.[/quote]

Our K-1 grade teacher said the kids who never went to daycare or preschool were such a nightmare to adjust to going to school.

They are clingy and insecure and unable to get along with others.[/quote]

As a former K teacher I suspect this conversation never actually happened.[/quote]

Yes it happened a lot. Here we go the kid who has to sit on my lap for the 1st month of school and one who has to sit on the floor next to me and the one who has to be picked up early a few times a month.

I suspect you are a K teacher to kids who went to preschool. [/quote]

I was in a K class where none of hte kids had ever been to preschool or daycare - it was very rural and there were no preschools and daycares in the region and not a sigle child had difficulty adjusting to school. Their parents had still prepared them despite them not attending a preschool or daycare program. Making up nonsense doesn't really help your point of view.

Might there be occasionally a child who has a hard time adjusting - sure. But that is the exception. And if my kid is going to have a hard time adjusting, I would rather that happen when they are older and can talk about it and not then when they are non verbal and just feel fear and confusion and whatever emotion but can't express it.[/quote]
