[QUOTE="Martie, post: 9166, member: 284"] Dazedand Confuzed; I have a parallel that illustrates EXACTLY what you are saying but on a less loaded topic of child development than emotional and behavioral problems: When easy child wasa baby/toddler, she had an expressive language delay. I worked full time and had in-home care for her. Over and over I heard that she wasn't talking because I worked. She also walked entirely unaided a 8 months and ran at 10 months without falling. Everytime someone would "blame" the language delay on my working, I would take credit for the early motor skills as being due to my working outside the home. I got some very strange looks, some people even said, "There can't be a relationship between early motor skills and your working..." Tehrefore, by their logic, parents are a causal agent for delays but not accelerations??? That's not too logical... In fact in my opinion, NEITHER of easy child's behaviors was related to my working but I was very able to get my point across with this contrast. Touche! Martie [/QUOTE]
