Child Care and Mothers' Well Being.
Lee, Catherine M.; Picard-Lessard, Michelle
Canadian Journal of Research in Early Childhood Education, v6 n2 p161-64 May 1997
Examined effects of child care on mothers' levels of stress, and parental and life satisfaction. Found that all the child care variables contributed significantly to mothers' stress levels. However, the more satisfied mothers felt with child care arrangements, the greater their satisfaction as parents. Results suggest that adequate child care must be a priority for employers and policymakers. (JPB)
