Lice and ringworm are problems and other infectious diseases that children catch in daycare that they would not be exposed to at home. One study (Kay, 2005) showed stress levels are higher in daycare children who have higher levels of cortisol in their bloodstreams. There is also anecdotal evidence (like my grandmother's "evidence") that children in daycare bite each other in epidemic proportions. Biting is animal behavior. It implies a need for self-protection. Probably, children that bite don't feel safe, protected or secure. it's like they are on their own, and they have to survive somehow. They need to be with their parents. According to some experts, the increase of conditions like attention deficit disorder, separation anxiety disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and conduct disorder are the result of being deprived of their parent's supervision and love.
