[quote=Anonymous]From a study published in 2010 by Jacqueline Barnes
Please stop this insane argument. It has been propagated on several threads and is getting old and is just plain ignorant, having multiple childcare providers DOES NOT cause attachment disorders. This notion is incredibly insulting to individuals who ACTUALLY suffer from attachment disorders and the real tragic situations that brought them on.

*from the abstract
"In an English sample of 1016 families, use of childcare was investigated at 3, 10, 18 and 36 months. Child behavior problems and social competence were assessed at 36 months by maternal questionnaire. There was no effect of the amount or type of childcare on disruptive behavior at 36 months...Compliance and expressiveness were predicted by maternal sensitivity. Expressive behavior was also associated with more childcare from 19 to 36 months, specifically nanny or nursery care. Overall there was no evidence of adverse consequences of childcare in the first three years, and some limited evidence of benefits. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)"
