More on nonmaternal child care.

Cautions that C. Etaugh's (see record 1980-11778-001) conclusion that high-quality nonmaternal care does not appear to have adverse effects on a child's development could be interpreted as meaning that nonmaternal care is never harmful to children. More consideration to the developmental status of each family member and to each member's feelings about the childcare arrangement is needed in further research.
