True story🧑‍🧑‍🧒

Many parents are told that enrolling toddlers in daycare early is necessary for socialization. The common belief is that peer interactions are critical for learning how to share, communicate, and play. But neuroscience and attachment research reveal a different truth.

Before age 3, a child’s brain is wired primarily for safety, bonding, and co-regulation. This means toddlers need consistent, warm, and responsive connections with their primary caregivers. The presence of a parent or trusted adult helps regulate their nervous system, supports emotional growth, and lays the foundation for all future social skills.

Peer interactions before this age do not replace attachment. While toddlers can enjoy play, it does not teach them the deep emotional regulation, trust, and security they require. In fact, too much separation from primary caregivers too early can raise stress hormones like cortisol, affecting brain development.

What your toddler truly needs is your time, attention, and responsiveness. Holding them, responding to cries, playing alongside them, and showing calm and patience all provide the foundation for emotional and social skills that last a lifetime.

🚨 Genetic Breakthrough from Japan 🚨
In a stunning development, Japanese researchers have announced a groundbreaking laboratory success — they’ve managed to remove the extra chromosome 21, the genetic trigger behind Down syndrome, from human cells grown in the lab.

Using advanced CRISPR gene-editing technology, scientists were able to delete the third copy of chromosome 21 in certain trisomy-21 cells

In Argentina, car mechanic Jorge Odón turned a simple curiosity into an invention that could save thousands of babies.
It began when he saw a YouTube hack for removing a cork from a wine bottle. He wondered: “Could the same principle help babies trapped during birth?”
In his kitchen, he tested the idea:
🥛 A glass jar as the womb.
✋ His daughter’s wrist as the newborn.
🧵 A cloth bag sewn by his wife as the tool.
The result was the Odon Device — a lubricated plastic sleeve with an inflatable bag that gently grips the baby’s head, allowing safe delivery.
🌍 Recognized by the World Health Organization, the device offers a safer, cheaper alternative to forceps or suction cups. Easy to use even by non-specialists, it brings hope to rural areas without advanced medical care — and could also reduce unnecessary C-sections worldwide.
Today, with international support and production by BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company), the Odon Device is projected as a quiet revolution in modern obstetrics — proof that sometimes, the simplest ideas save the most lives. 💙

FYI
Η νέα σεζόν ξεκινά και μας περιμένει ο γνωστός μαραθώνιος! 🏃‍♀️
Το αν θα τερματίσουμε χαμογελαστοί ή καταϊδρωμένοι εξαρτάται –περισσότερο απ’ όσο φαντάζεστε– από τα παπούτσια μας. 👟👞🥾👢👠👢

The shoes we wear can influence our entire body—and the wrong pair can quietly set off a chain reaction of discomfort, triggering pain in your back, hips, knees, and more. 👟

“Every time we walk, our feet need to be able to change shape,” says physical therapist Otto Lam. The heel should strike first, the foot should roll forward, and the toes should spread before pushing off—but the wrong shoe can disrupt this sequence.

True story…

Letting a baby cry it out might sound like tough love but science says it’s tougher on the baby than anyone else.

Research now shows that ignoring a crying infant or frequently leaving them to self-soothe without comfort can have real consequences not just emotionally, but neurologically. A large-scale Japanese study involving over 100,000 mother-child pairs found a clear link between chronic non-response during infancy and developmental delays. These included setbacks in communication, social interaction, motor coordination, and even problem-solving abilities.

But it doesn’t stop at developmental skills.

When babies cry for extended periods without comfort, their bodies release large amounts of cortisol, the primary stress hormone. And while short-term stress responses are natural, prolonged elevated cortisol levels can disrupt brain development, particularly in regions responsible for emotional regulation, memory, and attachment.

This early emotional stress may also lead to weaker caregiver bonds, and increases the risk of anxiety, aggression, and lower IQ later in life. The baby learns not just that their needs won’t be met but that the world may not be safe or responsive at all.

Comforting a crying baby isn’t about spoiling them it’s about building their brain, shaping secure attachment, and laying the groundwork for emotional resilience. Every time you respond with love, you’re not just calming a cry you’re wiring a healthier future.
