Folk practice
Consistency guidance lived in proverb, religion, and midwifery before academic child study.
Consistency retrace l'évolution de l'autorité experte — des manuels religieux au behaviorisme, puis aux cadres de l'attachement et des neurosciences.
Chaque époque a réinterprété predictable limits and aligned caregivers à travers la science disponible et les valeurs culturelles sur l'enfant, le genre et la responsabilité de l'État.
Where it began

Consistency entered formal childcare discourse around 1967 as psychology, paediatrics, and education institutions professionalised family life.
