Tackling Income Inequality Could Boost Children ’s Vocabulary
By Emily Reynolds
In 1995, a seminal book was published suggesting that children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds were exposed to 30 million fewer words than richer children by the age of 4 — the so-called “word gap”. The idea is now widespread and has informed early childhood policy in the United States (though the findings are more contentious than this ubiquity might suggest).
But why might these kids be exposed to fewer words? A new study from a team at the University of California, Berkeley, finds that worries about financial insecurity reduced the amount that caregivers spoke to their small...

Apple ’s iPhone: Now With Built‐In Surveillance
Julian SanchezIn recent years, Apple has sought to brand itself as a strong defender of user privacy, boasting that they don ’t need to monetize your personal data—since their business model is based on selling pricy hardware—and admirablyfighting off government pressure to weaken or break strong encryption on its devices. That ’s why it’s so alarming to see the Cupertino‐based tech giant has decided that a shockingly misguided surveillance apparatus will soon be built right into the company ’s widely‐used operating systems.Apple this weekannounced two major updates coming soon to its iOS, i...

Eighteen Years of Monstering
If you ' ve read Schuyler ' s Monster, you may remember the opening scene, the meeting with a neurologist at Yale at which we received Schuyler ' s Polymicrogyria diagnosis. In that scene, I described the feeling this way:At the time, when friends would attempt to comfort us by saying that at least we had an answer, at least we knew what the problem was now, I explained how it felt. Imagine walking through the woods at night, all alone. In the darkness behind you, something is following, stalking you. You can hear it disturbing the leaves as it moves, and while it never goes away, it remains hidden from view. In your...

Mentors, thank you for parenting me
Parenting is one of those things most of us end up doing but never get any full training on. It ’s awkward. Some people are good at it; some people are terrible at it.

Childfree Adults Are Just As Satisfied With Their Lives As Parents
By Emily Reynolds
Across the world, birth rates are dropping. The global fertility rate has halved since 1950, with indications that this will continue to fall. There are a number of suggestions as to why this is the case: women may stay in education or the workforce rather than have multiple children, for instance, and many people across the world now have much greater access to contraception.
But many adults are also explicitly deciding not to have children, instead choosing to be “childfree”. The childfree movement has grown rapidly over the last few years: the ‘r/Childfree’ subreddit has over 1.4...

Rates Of Postnatal Depression Among New Mothers Rose Sharply During Lockdown
By Emily Reynolds
Having a new baby is never easy: it’s difficult to manage the stress of birth, sleepless nights, and juggling of childcare and domestic responsibilities, especially for first-time parents. Some also experience postnatal depression, which is estimated to affect 23% of women in Europe after the birth of a child (men also experience postnatal depression, though the numbers are not so clear).
Add to new parenting the impact of lockdown, and that figure could rise sharply, a new study published in Frontiers in Psychology suggests. Working with women with babies aged six months or younger in the UK dur...
