[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole cortisol thing seems very concerning. But then I read this study which apparently is one of only a couple of studies to actually compare daycare kids to ones that stay at home (the other studies compare the same children on days they are home vs at child care). It shows cortisol levels are actually higher among kids being cared for at home (by parents or others). Then suddenly it becomes relevant to mention that unobserved/confounding variables play a role, and that the differences are small and vary a lot from child to child.

Studies have shown this is related to daycare quality and child temperament.  The Finnish daycares are obviously "high quality."  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17007228/

All of the research points to some kids being more vulnerable to negative effects than others.  If your kid is prone to anxiety/aggression/adhd, then daycare will make those outcomes worse.  If your kid is an easygoing adaptable kid with no issues, they probably wont develop issues from daycare.  [/quote]
