This paper examines the issue of how day care settings affect a child's development has been studied by many child experts
and psychologists. It looks at how diverse factors, such as the amount of time a child stays at day care, the behavioral tendencies of a child, the child's bonding with his parents, and the social and
environment adaptation capability of a child, are being used as measures in examining whether or not day care causes
negative effects to children. Research and studies on the effects of long-term day care still need to consider factors, such as the hereditary genes and the natural behavior of a child. Such factors, if applied, may provide more reliable results in determining whether negative behaviors of a child are actually caused by his long-term attendance in day care.
