The sea gives me dreams

The sea gives me dreams I could never see through the eyes of a neglected child.

The parents of 2,111 Barcelona schoolchildren were asked how many days in the year the family went to the beach. The environmental epidemiologist Elmira Amoly and colleagues set those days against the behaviour scores the parents and teachers had given the same children. The children who went about one day more every ten scored 3.9% lower for total difficulties and 16.8% lower for trouble with other children.
