Intensive Parenting: Does it Have the Desired Impact on Child Outcomes? (2014, background): “These findings combined with data from animals on the impact of environmental deprivation on brain development (Greenough 1975) have served as the impetus for parents’ increased involvement for the purpose of providing intellectual stimulation to maximize children’s cognitive development (Wall 2010)”

Does the Amount of Time Mothers Spend With Children or Adolescents Matter (2015, background): “Mothers clearly do not easily live up to the expectations of intensive mothering (Christopher, 2012); attempts to do so are exhausting and stressful for them (B.
