The three main points of the article are first the more time a child spends in childcare the more at risk they are of developing behavior problems/more stress. Second, a study that used variables such as quality of child care and different types of childcare still found that time spent in childcare was linked to children's behavior problems more strongly than the quality of care. Third studies also found that variables such as mother's sensitivity and family's socioeconomic status had a greater influence on children's behavior in a non-negative way.
