I tried to explain but it did not make any sense to her, she was born to a world where you do not have to do much to accomplish many tasks. I heard about kids going to sleep here (in Israel) with text-to-speech applications reading them a "bed time story". So I really do not think there are too many myth about these young kids if that's indeed the articles intention. How do I get more info about this issue?
