The blog post from five years ago by parents is the least credible source. It’s opinion-based, likely anecdotal and not peer-reviewed, and may reflect bias or limited evidence.

The other three (peer-reviewed scholarly article, recent newspaper report on a study, and a current magazine piece) are generally more credible — though you should still check each for author expertise, citations to primary research, methodology, and conflicts of interest.
