"There is an article "Study Links Broken Homes, Short Kids"
in Newsday about a just released London study in Journal of the Royal College
of Pediatrics. "After adjustments for other factors known to influence
growth, including social class, crowding in the home and gender" they
found that "children who live with warring parents or come from broken
homes are more likely to be shorter." (Relationships skills make you
grow in more ways than one!) They linked stress to the hippocampus and growth
hormones, learning and memory."
[Quote from Diane Sollee, Director of the Coalition for Marriage, Family
and Couples Education, from the Coalition's listserv (http://lists.his.com/smartmarriages/)]
