一周在两个园之间换,对每个孩子都一样吗

这是方案,不是成稿。成稿写出来会替换这一页;下面是要讲的内容和依据。

维州规定一个孩子同一时间只能在一个园拿 Free Kinder,有的家庭就把一周拆到两个园。研究能说什么、说不了什么。

这篇要讲什么

  1. 引子。 维州规定一个孩子同一时间只能在一个园拿 Free Kinder。于是有家庭让孩子一周两天在这个园、三天在那个园。
  2. 研究讲什么。 「一周有多个看护点」已有不少研究,关联小、不一致。关键是分开「同时有多个」和「换来换去」。还没有人直接研究过两个园拆天。
  3. 不同孩子不一样在哪。 脾气里的适应性;年龄和以前的看护经历;两边有没有固定、信得过的老师;两边作息和规矩差多少;家里大人的压力。只列,不排序。
  4. 家长能观察什么。 愿意去、吃睡照常、拿东西给你看、高兴地讲当天的事。两个园分开看,看几周不看一天。有担心先跟老师聊。

这篇的口径

研究说的是小而不一致的关联,不能推出「拆园不好」,也不能推出「没关系」。这个题目没有系统综述,也没有专门研究「两个 kinder 各上几天」的论文。下面的研究多是「园 + 祖父母 / 保姆」的混合,不等于两个园。
