I work in an early childhood setting. Even among that age, I see big differences between children. I’ve noticed that families who are relatively well off show more concern for their child’s entire development. Families who are less well off, or have trouble at home, are concerned only with ‘Being a good boy/girl’ When basic needs are not being met with a degree of reliability, ‘wants’ such as a good education are marginalized.
