Day Care – Differences in Behavior?
Does a long day in day care create badly behaving kids? A new study suggests it doesn’t have to.
Researchers assessed behavioral problems in more than 75,000 children attending day care in Norway at ages 18 months and 3 years. They found little evidence that more time in daycare led to more behavioral problems. Norway however, has a vastly different child care system than the U.S. and subsidizes day care, maintaining strict national standards and regulations for child care providers.
