Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: Children and parents select into or choose certain kinds of child care based on their preexisting characteristics. (This makes it difficult to determine the effect of child care quality.) That is, parents who place their children in low-quality care tend to be less educated, more stressed, and less involved with their children. Parents who place their children in high-quality care tend to be educated, psychologically healthy, married, sensitive, authoritative, and have good verbal ability. Thus, children in high-quality care have preexisting advantages.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: Worse than in nuclear families. Other possible answers include: Children may have typical development in preschool, but by school age they tend to have lower cognitive skills, social competence, and academic achievement, as well as greater aggression, health problems, use of alcohol and other drugs, and likelihood of being abused.
