I hate when posts like this come along and nearly 100% of the responses are basically “Fuck science!”
Early childhood education and fostering are critical to development. The phrase “The years before five last the rest of their lives” is literally touted by the government here in literature. And that’s in the developed world.
It’s attitudes like “All this new research is bullshit” that genuinely have me worried that we will literally never move beyond the 20th century viewpoints on mental health, early childhood education, and the like. Because there’s 0 public trust in such research anymore.
I weep for a future that looks the same as the present.
