"'Kids here, especially farmworker kids, they have a different childhood than in our hometown,' said Dr. Martinez. 'The farmworker parents that we work with — they go to work at five in the morning, they take the children to child care. Often, it’s not formal child care, but family members. They grow up being taken care of by someone else. The parents pick them up after work, and farm work is very tiring work. They have to take care of the kids and prepare for the next day.'”
