A longitudinal
study of 80 toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergartners found that
children who entered early in low quality care had the most difficulty
with peers in preschool. Lives of parents who used low quality care
were characterized by complexity and use of less appropriate socialization
practices than those used by other parents. (RH)
