When your two-year-old son or daughter gets a cold, do you feel guilty and anxious of sending
him or her to kindergarten in the morning? Well, there is good news about all the sniffling and
coughing by children who 9 kindergartens. “These children,” reported in a recent medical
10 in the U.S., “will probably get fewer colds in elementary schools they go to.” Children in
large kindergartens – those with six or more children – appear to 11 immunity to many of the
viruses responsible for the common cold, according to the study.
The findings support a long-held theory 12 some doctors. The study found that children
in kindergartens had almost twice as many colds at age two as 13 cared for at home. But from
ages six to eleven, children who had attended large kindergartens as toddlers had about one-third as
many colds as those who had stayed home 14 small. The advantage disappeared by age 13
because both 15 appeared to have the same degree of protection. The findings should help
relieve the guilt and anxiety that parents often have when putting their children in kindergartens.
