| Abstract: | Using data from the nationally representative Millennium Cohort Study, this study examined the association between age of starting and weekly hours in formal childcare between birth and 5 years with internalising and externalising behaviour trajectories from ages 5 to 14 years in England (N = 6194 children). Associations were analysed using multilevel general linear regression models, with adjustment for socio-economic position, maternal mental health, demographics, and child temperament. Later entry was associated with more internalising behaviours at age 14 years. Children who spent > 40 h per week in childcare between birth and 3 years displayed more externalising behaviour at 5 years than children who did not attend childcare. Controlling for socio-economic position and parental mental health attenuated findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
