🧬 Researchers compared two similar communities with different #farming techniques to study immune system development.#Amish #children who grow up around traditional manual farming show a much lower risk of #allergies than #Hutterite children who live on modernized industrial farms. The study suggests that early exposure to diverse environmental #microbes found in barns helps train our immune system to ignore harmless allergens. https://www.zmescience.com/science/news-science/amish-dont-develop-allergies-33/#biology #health #science #immunology #research #medicine #nature #education

This about #vaccinations is still valid today.You do not need to vaccinated your #children, it is not necessary. But you should vaccinate them if you don't want to outlive them.

Russian fascists steal children, Yankee fascists steal parents, both do it to create intergenerational harm. Israeli's simply murder children.Fascism really hates families and children.#Fascism #Genocide #Families #Children

@lorepozo As a parent of 2 I have learned: Whatever you want your children to call you - they will use whatever they feel fit in different ages and situations.So maybe the more interesting question might be: What term I don't want my child to refer to me (and why)?As soon as your child gets old enough to understand your concerns it will most likely respect your feelings.Until then it might be easier to use the existing terms according to their context e.g.:the person = your name or nicknamegender = nonbinarylegally = parentbiologically = mother (if this sounds reasonable for you)...In the end I think it's hard to have expectations to a child as long as society is still struggling with diversity.

Walkaround of yesterday's project. I helped the gardener here for an hour with some heavy lifting and I can't think of a better job to do tbh. It's hard to express how much joy can be produced with so little effort.#gardening #children #permaculture /cc @voedselboskabouters @sustainable_schools
