Re: Intelligent children from poor backgrounds fall behind........

proffessionally...... i know poor children that are doing really well because their parents spend more time with them, i also know children from more privelidged backgrounds that are not because their parents are too busy, obviously it has to do with the parents, not the amount of money... what exactly is their definition of poor? when i was on benefits we bought books every week from the charity shop.. i still say that my lad is such a good talker because we lived alone and if i hadnt talked to him i could have gone a week without speaking... i chatted to him about everything, constantly....we didnt have a tv until he was 18 months old, because it was a luxury, not a necessaty, so we read and talked and played and went out for walks... ,my lad is well ahead of his peers and reads everything he sees(including tampax boxes in the asda!)
