What Parenting Works From The Freak Book

Some of the thing that can make a positive or negative on test scores in school.
The 8 factors that do:

The child has highly educated parents.

The child's parents have high socioeconomic status.

The child's mother was 30 or older at the time of her 1st child's birth.

The child had low birth weight.

The child parents speak English in the home.

The child's is adopted.
The child's parents are involved in the PTA.
The child has many books in his home.

The 8 factors that don't:


The child's family is intact.

The child's parents recently moved into a better neighborhood.
The child's mother didn't work between birth and kindergarten.

The child's parents regularly take him to museums.

The child is regularly spanked.

The child frequently watches T.V.

The child's parents read to him nearly every day.


If you look closely at the two list you will find that;
First list is, that parents are.
Second list is, things that parents do.
Funny thing, neither list doesn't brings up how much you love your kid, and if this is a positive or negative effect on there lives ?
