Early Child Care and Self-Control, Compliance, and Problem Behavior at Twenty-Four and Thirty-Six Months.
Child Development, v69 n4 p1145-70 Aug 1998
A longitudinal study evaluated child-care effects on young children's self-control, compliance, and problem behavior. Findings indicated that mothering was a stronger and more consistent predictor of child outcomes than child care. There was little evidence that early, extensive, and continuous care was related to problematic child behavior. Child-care quality was the most consistent predictor of child functioning. (Author)
