I’m just gonna dive into some link sharing, sans preamble. \u00a0Tons, today:<\/p>\n
First, a link to a report about some research that reminds us to hold our babies, A LOT. \u00a0There is no such thing as too much!<\/a> \u00a0(*unless your arms are sore, in which case you gotta get a sling). \u00a0And THIS is from the London School of Economics<\/a>, about the role of money in children’s lives (spoiler that is not really a spoiler: inequality is not our friend).<\/p>\n Here is an interesting wee article from Mothering mag<\/a>, it’s about breastfeeding practices all over the world. \u00a0Go, Mongolia, go! \u00a0And here is the Washington Post, reporting on research about fathers’ differing habits <\/a>with their girl- or boy-babies. \u00a0Meanwhile, this is a li’l something from Harvard Medical School about the evolution of our brains<\/a>.<\/p>\n So this weird thing happens now and then where the people raising a ruckus about the stuff I care about are those who seemingly sit on the opposite (i.e. Right!) of the political spectrum to me and my lefty ways. \u00a0It is true here, where a group of concerned New Zealanders are questioning the amount of screen time in schools<\/a>. \u00a0Yeah, I’m worried too!
