AnonyMouse_9475 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hi, does anyone know of any reports or studies online which talk about the effects on children due to attending multiple settings? I'm looking for any examples of children's behaviour and signs to look out for. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hi lawchaz Noticed that you hadn't had any replies....... Can't help at all with your query - sorry But just wanted to say that I have had lots of children in my care who attend other settings and this has never presented any problems........ Is there some behaviour issue that has prompted your question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 In my experience as a Preschool Manager I've not come across problems, but as an Auntie I have. My Nephew's behaviour very rapidly went downhill once his care changed from Mum and occasional childminder, to Mum, Childminder, Preschool, lunch club, childminder, Mum. He had severe behavioural issues involving the Ed Psyc team and lots of issues that still remain. My sister is adamant that it stems back to that time, when different settings' behavioural expectations were inconsistent for him - and she's aware that a lot of that might have been her guilt at returning to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal attatchment to main carer can take 2 to three years apparently, was it during the first 2 to three years of his life? Am absolutely no expert though, just some information given today.

Oh yes - most definitely. We certainly put it down to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
