Early caregiving may affect child's academic, social success

Early caregiving may affect child's academic, social success | Fox News: Individuals who experience sensitive caregiving during the first three years of life may see lasting effects on their relationships and academic achievement, research published Thursday in the journal Child Development suggests.

The question of whether caregivers’ behavior can impact these aspects of their children’s lives spans even before Sigmud Freud’s psychological study of parent-child relationships in the 1800s. However, research has yet to analyze this potential association in adulthood, said lead study author Lee Raby, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Delaware.
