Air pollution is weakening children’s attention span, a new study suggests. Exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) - a pollutant largely pumped out by road traffic - is linked to poorer attention span in children aged four to eight years old. This is particularly pronounced in boys, according to the researchers at Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal). Their study, published in the Environment International journal, adds to a growing body of evidence about the negative impact of air pollution during pregnancy and childhood on brain development. Only seven countries in the world breathe ...

There’s been a worrying trend of late that involves turning beloved children’s classics into horror movies, and it shows no sign of stopping.

While it got terrible reviews - and bagged a Razzie Award for the Worst Picture of 2023 \- it also made money. This led to a sequel, the adventurously titled Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2, and the creation of the “Pooniverse” (stop giggling at the back) - a “twisted childhood universe” ...
