As a side note, I have read multiple studies that state that getting a child sick actually helps the immune system. Of course, there is a limit to the usefullness of that. Mainly that serious diseases cause significantly more harm than good.
As for socialization, I have 2 nephews several years apart. The first one went to daycare and the second one did not. #1 is very social and #2 is not. Also, I was raised by a stay at home mother and was home schooled. I think this may have something to do with my difficulties in socializing and the insane amount of shyness I possess.
