Day care linked to child aggression WASHINGTON (AP) - The longer young children spend in day care away from their mothers the more likely they are to be overly aggressive by the time they reached kindergarten, according to the largest study of child care and development ever conducted. The basic results of the 10-year, 10-city federally financed study were outlined Wednesday at a briefing. Principal researcher Jay Belsky of Birkbeck College in London was presenting the findings in more detail Thursday in Minneapolis at a meeting of the Society for Research in Child Development. "There is a constant dose-response relationship between time in care and problem behavior, especially those involving aggression and behavior," Belsky told reporters Wednesday.
