Childcare or grandparents for 20mo? what would you choose and do you have any experience to share. On one hand I feel that grandparents love is good for my child but on the other hand I feel that CC will help my child to be less coddled and more independent and adventurous (eg grandparents carry lots, don't bring him to play group due to zika, helps him too much and give him little room for exploration and me-time) as he he seems like a rather cautious boy. He's very well socialised so that's not thr main reason for gg CC. should i wait til he is older for CC ? is it cruel to put him in at such a young age?

I would choose grandparents over cc. I hv peeped and saw what cc teachers did to my kid and it resulted in negative behavior. I also had visiting parents who saw what happened. To me, grandparents love are better, anytime, than cc. However, we cannot exclude sch totally as making frds is an equally important process. Perhaps, consider letting your child do a half day at cc. It reduces his anxiety and will make him look forward to sch. Or better yet, let him start at 30months. I think that will be a gd age since he can express himself better.
