Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlbys work that children should be subjecte

d to day care before the age of three because of the parental separation it entails, and many people do believe in this. But there are also arguments against such a strong【M1】______ conclusion. This has been argued that an infant under three who is【M2】______ cared for outside the home may suffer because the separation from【M3】______ his parents. Bowlby maintains that separation from the parents during the sensible "attachment" period from birth to three may scar a【M4】______ childs personality and predispose to emotional problems in later life. But traditional societies are so different from modern societies that comparisons based on just one factor are hard to interpret. Anthropologists point that the secluded love affair between children【M5】______ and parents found in modern societies that does not usually exist in【M6】______ traditional societies. But Bowlbys analysis raises the possibility that early day care had delaying effects. The possibility that such care【M7】______ might lead with, say, more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later【M8】______ can only be explored by the use of statistics. Statistical studies of this kind has not yet been carried out, and even if they were, results【M9】______ would be certain to be complicated and controversial Common sense also tells that day care would not be so widespread today that【M10】______ parents, caretakers or pediatricians found that children had problems with it But tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue.
