Impact of Maternal Employment

Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination.
John Dewey, 1859-1952, American Psychologist

In the article "First-year Maternal Employment and Child Development in the First 7 Years", in the August 2010 issue of Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, the researchers observed that "mothers who worked had higher 'maternal sensitivity' or responsiveness to their children and were more likely to place their children in high quality child care."
