“The way [we conduct naming experiments is] to show the child two pictures, [for example, of] a baby and a doggie. You ask, “Where’s the baby?” Or “Where’s the doggie?” However, if [you] change the sentence a little bit and you say, “There’s a ball over there,” and put [the word “ball”] in the middle instead of at the end [of the sentence], they fall apart completely. They can’t get it. Fernald”
Ellen Galinsky, Mind in the Making: The Seven Essential Life Skills Every Child Needs

“mothers (mothers were more likely to be the focus of studies than fathers in that era) who helped the older child understand the baby by saying things like “The baby is crying. Why do you think he’s crying? Do you think he’s hungry or needs his diaper changed? Let’s try to feed him and see if he stops crying” had children who were more likely to fight less and get along better as they grew up.”
