Get the Infections Over With

02.16.2011

(I’m catching up on all these articles I wanted to share. So please excuse the fairly dry content this week.)

The idea that kids who go to day care get more infections early on but fewer later isn’t necessarily new and, in fact, is pretty obvious. But I think it’s a good reminder especially for anyone seriously considering home-schooling their child. This article breaks it down and describes the respiratory illnesses that children get and at what age they were most likely going to get what. Kids that are exposed to more germs at a younger age start building their immunity that benefits them in later years. Just one more reason why home-schooling is…well…wrong.
