@thens I’m very glad it’s been useful! Thank you for the kind words.

@011235813 First off, I'm sorry if I took your thoughts out of context; I didn't mean to. (The part I quoted, and your lovely phrase 'messy world of every day parenting' really resonated with me!) I've edited the original post to link to your comment to clarify. On policy, I'm always torn. I...

@fullongrace > criticism and debate I saw were from folks similar to me I'm not sure whether you're referring to specific posts. (As I said, it sounds like I've missed a lot of discussion.) Skimming the comments on my original post, you specifically objected to my use of the word 'robust', and...

@fullongrace I've replied below your other comment -- please see here.

@rockdrik That was a very kind and reassuring comment. Thank you. Specifically, it was reading this comment from @andrew1221 on r/Parenting: When I'm buried in work I leave Reddit for long periods, so I don't see things playing out. If the methodology I'm using is hotly debated by people on...

@011235813 just wrote this (my emphasis): I'm coming at this from the other end, in that I am a scientist, I understand stats and it's difficult for me to write about research in a way is accessible to a non-technical audience. I would really, deeply, honestly, appreciate any thoughts on how...

@continualseeker Thanks. That’s the stuff I was referring to when I wrote: You can see the word ‘disadvantaged’ on the first item on the sheet you link to!

@katrina2017 Actually, it's appreciated more than you realise. I would never have posted the article without kind and supportive comments from people like you. I'd never even have written it if @josh4285 hadn't asked the key question. And I wouldn't have posted it publicly if @godwithpeter...

@jwfletch Thank you for the kind comments. I'm very glad to hear that you have found it useful.

@sawry1 Oh, absolutely. As the quote says, it's from 1894!

@darwinrules Thank you for the kind words!

@rylt I'm afraid there isn't any specific research I know of. There's way too little on 0-2 generally. On language delay: don't panic! Very many children with early language delay end up catching up, and 19 months is early. How is his language comprehension? Also I'm guessing you've had his...

@jmbttown For children up to 30 months, UK OFSTED scores are essentially uncorrelated with the research-backed measures of quality. See Mathers S, Singler R & Karemaker A, Improving Quality in the Early Years: A comparison of perspectives and measures. As they note:

@katrina2017 Thank you! FWIW, amidst all the chaos in these sleep training threads, reading on of your long comments on your own experiences shifted my own views significantly.

@soulwinner92 Lots in here -- I'll take a couple of points to start with. > Childcare in Quebec seems to be a great equalizer for readiness to school: https://osf.io/vmh9b/ That's consistent with what I wrote. I said that low-income children benefit from starting daycare earlier, and...

@soulwinner92 I would like to stress that they are not my findings! I quoted the NBER summary precisely so that no one thought I was trying to spin the research. When you say everything you’ve seen, do you mean research or news articles or personal experience?

@grace4nan It's just not worth the arguments to post it publicly. I will DM you.

@katrina2017 I'm very sorry for setting this off. I knew there would be a couple of off-topic posts, but I was naively hoping that most people would pick up that this was just a point about terminology. It's particularly frustrating because there's important research that people aren't...

@kira23 I don’t think they admit DID, etc? Their definition of quasi-RCT seemed quite restrictive. But I’m only going by the definition - feel free to correct me. (https://handbook-5-1.cochrane.org/chapter_6/box_6_3_a_cochrane_definitions_and_criteria_for_randomized.htm )

@jmbttown On institutions, I think we may be talking at cross purposes. Please read https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphanage -- the part about the BEIP is key. On child abuse, I am not sure what 'cruel interventions' you are referring to. Have a read of chapter 1 of...
