Beatrice has twin girls, Chloe and Freya, who attend a local nursery. Beatrice has noticed that the girls behave very differently when she arrives to collect them: Chloe runs to hug her warmly and is easily comforted, whilst Freya turns away and continues playing with a toy, refusing to make eye contact.
At nursery, Chloe joins in group role-play games and shares toys easily, whereas Freya prefers solitary play in the sandbox and often struggles to cooperate with others. Furthermore, Chloe is showing advanced language development, frequently speaking in complex sentences and telling stories, while Freya's speech is less advanced, using only simple, single-word utterances.
Assess the effects of day care on the development of Chloe and Freya.
