[net.kids] infant reaction to day-care

merrill@gigi.DEC (Rick GIGI::Merrill DECRITE) (08/21/84)

Just saw a 1yr old whose mother just returned to work a week ago.
He will sit EXACTLY where placed and cry untill mommy comes to pick 'em
up.  Has he learned that "waiting" is the way to get mommy back?  Has
anyone else observed similar changes in 1yr-old behavior at loosing his
mother to the working world?
