Child psychologist Jennie Lindon answers your letters about child behaviour. Q Like many nurseries we are an all-female staff.

Babies in daycare are just as active as those cared for at home and receive the same levels of stimulation through interaction such as singing, physical play and cuddling, according to research published last week.
