Um, but back in the day, um, In the place of scene and in existing traditional societies, there's room for kids to do, you know, if you're an active learner, well, you go out hunting. If you're an active learner, you make the arrowheads. You know, there's all kinds of roles for kids that they could fill. What are your thoughts on daycare? On daycare. Yeah. Well, I think well-run daycares can be
good in the sense that they can mimic the alloparental situation where you have multiple committed individuals. And, you know, and especially if they're like, I think like in the Montessori settings, they'll have more of the like, you know, three-year-olds with four-year-olds with five-year-olds and so on. I think those can have certain advantages. But what I don't like about daycares is that

Well, first of all, many of them are just overcrowded. You've got, you know, the caretakers are overwhelmed and they can't give the kids as much attention as they want.

They have their kids in daycare, and three days out of five, they've got to keep them home because they have a fever or something and all of that. So there's a lot of infection risk that you have to deal with that you wouldn't have had to deal with, again, during ancestral times.

there was just no safe place to put a baby other than in a caretaker's arms, you know, during the places scene and before that.

I don't know of any data. It'd be an excellent study for somebody to do. And maybe somebody has. If they have, I don't know. But I think it's way down. And things like, you know, plagiosephaly, the flattening of the head. When kids are held, you're always switching arm to arm, different positions. And same thing when, you know, with co-sleeping, you know, doing it safely.

Kids, parents, parents would, you know, mom would sort of curl around baby. They'd be in different positions and so on. We can just see now that like six, I think one out of six kids in the U.S. gets these head flattening conditions called plagiocephaly, and it's from not being educated. carry this from being flat on your back.
