Sick kids at day care=healthy kids at elementary school

I am hoping that recent research which found that kids in day care get sick more often early in life, but get sick less often once they reach elementary school is going to hold true in the case of my son.

This is one of those scientific findings which sounds like pure and simple common sense. The more viruses they get exposed to earlier in life I would think they would build up better immunity. I guess it is nice to see some evidence to support this common belief. See the abstract and description of the research here.
