Document Summary
What happens to an infant whose dependency needs are not sufficiently met during critical periods of development: national institute of child health and development longitudinal study of 10 daycare centers across the country: Children enrolled in childcare centers during first year of life whose mothers worked full time had cognitive delays and more behavioral problems at age 3 and into kindergarten. Maternal employment generally had benefits for poor and single-mother households (could purchase higher-quality childcare and other resources), but disadvantages for the young children (cognitive & behavioral) in middle class households. Less instrumental dependence (can survive if parents not cook and clean) More emotional interdependence (can have intimate conversations; make each other laugh) Some are still overly dependent: some parents don"t want the child to grow up. More likely to have problems with diabetes, obesity, and metabolic disorders. More likely rushed to emergency rooms when have a normal reaction (usually a temporary increase in symptoms) to vaccinations: shapes personality.
