Quality Time With Your Children: Making Every Moment Count

King Frederick II, Soviet Union Infant Deprivation Experiment

Historical accounts, sometimes attributed to the Soviet Union or King Frederick II of Germany in the 13th century, describe a tragic experiment regarding infant development. The test involved providing babies with food and hygiene but denying them all human touch, speech, or affection in hopes they would spontaneously speak German. The experiment resulted in the death of all the infants, proving that audible love and physical interaction are biological necessities for human survival.
