[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sharing my opinion. What is your opinion? Are there no possible risks to infants and very young children who have been deprived of consistant and stable caregivers during the first foundational years of life?[/quote]
My opinion is that there is a wide range of what qualifies as "consistent and stable" caregiving.

My DS had roughly one caregiver every year.  From birth to three months, he was with me.  From three months to one year, with nanny 1.  From age 1 to age almost 2, with nanny 2.  From age 2, in daycare.  He's thriving.  He's the most social, affectionate, non-aggressive and outright happy kid you will see.

My humble opinion is that children distinguish very well between their temporary and constant caregivers.  My son was always attached to me very much, regardless of who took care of him during the day.  He always knew when mommy came home and nanny was done. So I am satisfied that my presence in his life fulfills the need of "constant, qualified" caregiving.  [/quote]
