[quote=Anonymous]The differences at home start from birth, long before kids are school age. If kids have parents who regularly talk with them (in any language), read to them, take them to interesting places (the woods, a museum, whatever), encourage curiosity, take them to the library, etc, this makes a huge difference. Obviously, so do things like having loving/stable adults, plenty of food, safe place to sleep, etc. I know people have recently tried to refute the studies showing the benefits of talking more to young children, but it’s hard to argue with the original results.
