Please correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAIK a newborn baby sleeps an average of 20+ hours a day; it's part of its normal development cycle. But the ring's bearer only requires 2 hours of rest a day which means the baby is awake and aware about 500% more of the time. Asside from perhaps driving its guardians insane with it's constant need for attention, I believe the child would also learn it's basic skills at an accelerated rate. As I understand it, the first five years of a child's life is the time it develops the most in its entire life. Such young children learn to crawl, walk, talk, run and learn a thousand other things they'll need to know throughout their lives. They absorb new experiences like sponges. A baby that's learning 5 times as often would probably develop somewhat more quickly; at least within the bounds of it's physical and cerebral limits. I'd expect it to start babling and crawling sooner, start interacting with its environment more and to eventually walk and talk much sooner than expected. Such a child would probably grow up to be very curious and precocious. Just my two cents though. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
