“To me the early childhood story is an ecumenical one. You take poverty seriously. You take seriously maternal depression. You take seriously children under stress and you take seriously the effects of extended hours participation in poor quality care. Those are the facts I begin with.” ChildrenFactsStoriesCareHoursPoorQualityPovertyChildhoodEffectsStressParticipationEarly ChildhoodUnder StressPoor QualityQuality Care Author:Robert Manne
“Nothing threatens freedom of the personality and the meaning of life like war, poverty, terror. But there are also indirect and only slightly more remote dangers.

“Ironically, though our society of affluence brings safety and stability, it doesn't bring psychological health. As wealth goes up, suicide and depression rates tend to go up. I read one study that compared women in North America with women in Nigeria, and the group with the highest rates of depression was urban North American women, which is the wealthiest. Now, there are obviously huge stresses that come with poverty, but the poorer the society, the more collaborative people have to be.” PeopleWealthPovertyStudyStressSafetySuicideRatePsychologicalStabilityUrbanNigeria Author:Sebastian Junger
