[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a bit of a selection effect. I work in child care and I have noticed often some of the kids who start as toddlers do so because they were too active/out of bounds for their nanny or parent so their parents thought they needed more stimulation. I think, because of this, kids who would probably go on to have some behavior issues anyway (even if they had stayed at home) end up in full-day child care. [/quote] I really struggle with one of my kids. She's just a handful and some days I don't have the mental capacity to deal with it. I'm unable to cook dinner with her or attend to my other kids. I had wanted to stay at home with my first, but couldn't afford it. I could afford it with my last but I couldn't have done it mentally. No special needs, just a difficult child. My other kids cry too about how she sucks all the oxygen out of the room and often ruins things for them (like restaurants, activities or places we go).[/quote]
