It&#8217;s human nature: when our friends get attacked, we get mad. The problem is, we&#8217;re not always so good at figuring out what&#8217;s a legitimate attack &#8211; and it makes it really hard to have a calm conversation with our adversaries. &#8220;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/science\">science<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/society\">society<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/culture\">culture<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/politics\">politics<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/blogs\">blogs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/media\">media<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/journalism\">journalism<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/humanities\">humanities<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/social-science\">social-science<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.slate.com\/id\/2252621\/pagenum\/all\/\">Developmental milestones for babies are meaningless. &#8211; By Nicholas Day &#8211; Slate Magazine<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&#8220;Late, early, on time: In our what-to-expect era, when baby Web sites offer weekly, birthdate-timed developmental newsletters, parents can hardly avoid knowing where their child falls on the developmental spectrum. As Isaiah has stumbled through his first years, he&#8217;s been accompanied, via childrearing guides and Web sites, by the phantom presence of a typical child, whose textbook development sometimes has made Isaiah seem like Leo the Late Bloomer.<\/p>\n<p>But when parents today worry about their child not meeting developmental norms, especially for motor skills, they&#8217;re too often worrying needlessly. The typical child, it turns out, is a myth.
