[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not a bad thing for your child to attach to daycare providers or other adults! They are not going to replace you, OP.[/quote] True, but children do form a primary attachment and when you go back to work that's either a daycare worker or a nanny. It's okay, but it's true.[/quote] If your child is with a caretaker other than you for 8 hours a day or more and does NOT bond with the caretaker something is very wrong! You are *always* mommy - that doesn't change. You are always the first and most important relationship. But while you are at work your child needs love, he/she needs a second mom. If that is missing you are going to have a very insecure toddler. Not fun. Signed, A mom and a daycare owner[/quote] Agree that it doesn't have to be a parent providing the stability, competence and love that little children require. But not many daycares can pull that off. Kudos to you if you're one of the very few good ones. I hope you're well compensated for your work.[/quote]
