There’s enormous variation in the rate at which children learn language and speak, particularly in the age range being studied. It’s not a race. Nobody is robbing kids of spoken words, as if they are entitled to them. Some people maybe don’t talk very much. Some parents are always traveling for work. Some kids grow up running around barefoot in a village. No big deal.

This is another bizarre take. Yes, children are entitled to adult attention because it's mandatory for healthy development. This is also not a race between different kids, but figuring out how different circumstances would affect the same child. It's kind of wild to me that I have to even explain this to an adult.
