Marked differences are described in the social relationships of families and in notions about who is acceptable as a substitute carer for children, in what circumstances and for what purpose. Several of these contrasts are linked to attitudes and life-conditions which are affected by social class.
The book identifies possible consequences for individual children’s social adaptability resulting from these patterns of care. It suggests that people working with the under-fives could profit from adapting their activities and services to children’s previous experiences of shared care and families’ differing expectations about groups for children.
