The direct effects of daycare experience on prosocial and aggressive behaviors were first assessed. Then, the second question of whether temperament has a moderating effect was addressed using structural equation modeling as a technique for testing the significance of various paths in the model. SES and sex of the child also were included as predictors. to determine whether having experienced long-term versus short-term versus no daycare influenced children's aggressive or prosocial behaviors. In order to determine whether temperament played a moderating role between daycare experience and resulting prosocial or aggressive behaviors, path modeling was employed to directly test several factors, SES and sex of the child were the independent predictors. The daycare experience, temperament, and the interaction between the two were allowed to predict aggressive (parent ratings as well as lab ratings) or prosocial behaviors. In addition, the aggressive or prosocial behavior rating of the peer who was in the room with the target child was allowed to correlate with the proband's aggressive or prosocial behavior in order to determine whether reciprocal interactions between the proband and the peer were important in explaining the proband's

Dr. Laura Schlesinger believes that daycare is in between sinister and cruel, which might be an overly emotional description, daycare is not what is best for a family or a child, but by no means is it cruel. Kids need socialization, with people their age, day care can offer that to them, which is a positive. However, daycare also lacks the discipline, and usually the care, that a parent can give, causing the overall structure of a family to fall apart. Without discipline, children become unruly and spoiled, and lack respect and cause problems where problems don’t lie. Mass shootings because a guy in college didn’t get enough attention from girls, causing kids to commit suicide because other kids are constantly bullying them online, kids

The situation I noted involved a small child, upon waking up from nap time, appeared very upset because he was missing his mother. Many tears shed because he realized his mother wasn’t there to comfort him, but he soon realized that he could find comfort in the workers present. If you separate a child from their parents, there is usually going to be tears or sadness of some kind, often referred to as separation anxiety. Children missing their parents is a common occurrence at this day-care.

M. (2011). It should also be noted that many, Head Start preschool teachers are math anxious and their level of math anxiety prevents them from teaching mathematics to preschool aged children, including reasoning and cognitive thinking skills, as much as they should. It is critical for children to develop these reasoning and cognitive skills in order to be successful in future learning. In it’s current state of U.
