Describe the different types of developmental outcomes of children who attend child care as compared to children raised at home. Explain why these outcomes are thought to occur
What will be an ideal response?
Children who spend 20 hours per week or more in child care show more externalizing problems, including aggression and noncompliance with adults at ages 4-5 and in grades 1-3 than is the case for children spending less time in child care.
One explanation is that a full day of child care is stressful and raises cortisol levels.
This is associated with difficulties in emotional regulation.
However, children with more child care experience also appear to be more socially competent than children in home care only.
One explanation is that these positive outcomes occur only with moderate to high-quality care.
Another explanation is that both effects occur, and that there is a subgroup of children in daycare who have more externalizing problems and a subgroup that has higher social competence.
