Hot take: using baby talk when talking to children is a form of child abuse.

@freemo psychologists have studied this and concluded it doesn't make any difference.

@bluGill Sadly psychology is one area where the conclusions are wildly unreliable... I think its extremely obvious that it makes a huge difference to anyone who has seen children grow up over hte years. Psychologists need to do better.

@freemo Psychology deserve abuse for doing exactly what you did: make a claim without doing any repeatable study.

@bluGill The nature of psychology makes studies of any real value damn near impossible..
