How do babies and toddlers cry and scream so much without damaging their vocal cords?

I’m sitting here wondering how my toddler niece can cry this loud day after day, while if I sing along to a concert for 2 hours my voice gets strained for a couple of days.

Our vocal cords stiffen as we age. Puberty and the onslaught of hormones stiffens the cartilage of the vocal box, deepening your voice.

And we get even older, the cartilage and muscles weakens, giving elderly people a more raspy voice.

Based on those facts, baby and toddlers must have much more flexible vocal box tissues, why they don’t give AF about screaming their little heads off.

Think about doing a split at 30 yrs old, compared to a split at 18 months. Babies and their vocal cords are flexible as shit.
