Cumulative Risk and Continuity in Nonparental Care from Infancy to Early Adolescence.

Colwell, Malinda J.; Pettit, Gregory S.; Meece, Darrell; Bates, John E.; Dodge, Kenneth A.

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v47 n2 p207-34 Apr 2001

Variations in amounts of nonparental care across infancy, preschool, early elementary school, and early adolescence were examined. Correlations among overall amounts of care provided little evidence of cross-time continuity; grade 1 self-care and grade 6 unsupervised peer contact incrementally predicted grade 6 problems; and most predictive associations were accounted for by family background and social relationship factors.
