A quotation from Bertrand Russell
Children, like grown-ups, enjoy the sense of achievement derived from mastering a difficulty, but this requires a consistency of effort of which few are capable without some outside encouragement. The capacity for consistent self-direction is one of the most valuable that a human being can possess. It is practically unknown in young children, and is never developed either by a very rigid discipline or by complete freedom.
Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Education and the Social Order [Education and the Modern World], ch. 2 “The Negative Theory of Education” (1932)More about this quote: wist.info/russell-bertrand/858…

A longitudinal study of 158 mother-infant pairs evaluated the relationship between the verbal timing of mother:infant communications at 1 year with psychiatric assessments at 7 years. Longer delays in the mother's verbal response to the infant at 1 year, beyond about 1 second, were associated with a greater likelihood of a diagnosis of ADHD or a conduct disorder at 7 years.

The weakness of the child is that it starts with a blank sheet. It neither understands nor questions the society in which it lives, and because of its credulity other people can work upon it, infecting it with the sense of inferiority and the dread of offending against mysterious, terrible laws.
George Orwell (1903–1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1948-06), “‘Such, Such Were the Joys …’,” Partisan Review (1952-09)More about this quote: wist.info/orwell-george/35818/

Rates of asthma and allergies have been observed to be lower in children who are more exposed to dirt. A new investigation identified nine gram-positive bacteria present in German farm dust that are linked to reduced incidences of asthma, hay fever, and atopic eczema.
Every child needs to breathe more cow shit.

A longitudinal study of ~ 500 children in Singapore examined their academic performance and working memory at ages 9 and 10.5 relative to parent reports of their children's screen viewing time at ages 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 6, and 8 years. Greater screen time at ages 1 and 6 were associated with poorer academic performance at age 9.5 and poorer working memory at age 10.

Review of cognitive outcomes in over 60,000 people born within a couple of years before and after the cessation of sugar rationing in the U.K. (1953) found that those subject to rationing in their first 1,000 days had lower risks of dementia (27%), Alzheimer's (46%), depression (11%) and anxiety (20%).

Weekly monitoring of 368 Finnish children through the first year of life found that those from families with dogs had fewer respiratory infections and required fewer courses of antibiotics. Three dog-associated bacterial genera explained 25% of the protective effect. Protection may also be provided by aspects of the dog-owning lifestyle.
