I don't have any kids, but this op-ed piece from the New York Times seemed to0 interesting to pass up. The article explores the possibility of forward-facing strollers as a factor in language development problems in children.
I liked how the article mentions some evidence that backs up this claim, but does not say that children who ride in forward-facing strollers will absolutely have slower language development. The article merely suggests that rear-facing strollers encourage parents to interact with their children more, which can help a child's linguistic development.
I also liked how the article provided possible solutions to the perceived problem, such as parents talking to their children regularly and stroller companies coming up with affordable strollers that take child development into account.
I think the best part of this op-ed is that it included numbers and data, and still managed to keep my interest. I know I sound like a twelve-year-old, but I tend to stop reading an article if it has too many numbers.
