    I read the article. That wasn’t a study. That was a survey where parents self-reported for their children. Hardly a study that has any scientific merit.

    Tat’s part of science, too: Validate if the applied methods where actually worth anything. And aurvey of parents is not how you ro developmental science.

      I did say I’d wait for replication but it is absolutely research. Again you fail to understand the scientific method.

        You fail to understand quality standards in science.
