Description:
As spring is on the horizon, my children begin to anticipate the end of the school year with thoughts of sleeping in, free days at the pool, and long evenings outside with friends. I, too, look forward to this time of the year, and a much needed hiatus from coaxing kids out of bed, making school lunches, and homework help in the evenings. However, I do not look forward to finding a new "kid sitter" for my preteens and teenager. Choice of childcare is perceived as perhaps one of the most stressful decisions parents must make for their children. Pediatic caregivers should discuss childcare as early as the prenatal visit and at all well visits thereafter. (author abstract)
