Reviewing todays article in the News Headline forum, I quote the following

"THURSDAY, May 21 (HealthDay News) -- Very young children who spent excessive time in child-care facilities or who had insensitive mothers may be more prone to stress in their teen years, a long-term study suggests."

My daughter is 13, and well,.... Her father commited suicide when she was 14 months old. My closest family members were over 600 miles away, and I worked a full and part time job. You bet she spent "excessive time in child care". I'm not sure if I was insensitive though, at least back then.

Now, my "new" teenager is more prone to stress...geez, thats only 6 more years right?? At least my entire head of hair has already turned grey

[Typo]

wow ty for sharing! My lil sis is very prone to stress (she is 10) and she did spend quite a bit of time in daycare, (both grandparents where ill, and both parents worked full time jobs) she is more prone to stress but me and my parents are teaching her coping skills on how to handle the stress better and how to talk it out instead of screaming or giving up on something.

It has been working wonders and now she knows when she is stressed she walks away for a few seconds and comes back with a clear head and new perspective.

I am sure things will work out fine hun! lol and they always seem to fidn things out like that and you go "wow that would have been usefull then :P )

Peace
