One of the most common versions of this mistake that high-potential young professionals make is believing that investments in life can be sequenced. The logic is, for example, “I can invest in my career during the early years when our children are small and parenting isn't as critical. When our children are a bit older and begin to be interested in things that adults are interested in, then I can lift my foot off my career accelerator. That's when I'll focus on my family.” Guess what.By that time the game is already over. An investment in a child needs to have been made long before then, to provide him with the tools he needs to survive life's challenges— even earlier than you might realize.
There's significant research emerging that demonstrates just how important the earliest months of life are to the development of intellectual capacity. As recounted in our book Disrupting Class, two researchers, Todd Risley and Betty Hart, studied the effects of how parents talk to a child during the first two and a half years of life.After meticulously observing and recording all of the interactions between parent and child,they noticed that on average,parents speak 1,500 words per hour to their infant children.“Talkative”(often college-educated) parents spoke 2,100 words to their child,on average. By contrast, parents from less verbal (and often less- educated) backgrounds spoke only 600 per hour, on average.If you add that up over the first thirty months,the child of “talkative” parents heard an estimated 48 million words spoken,compared to the disadvantaged child,who heard only 13 million. The most important time for the children to hear the words,the research suggests,is the first year of life.
Risley and Hart's research followed the children they studied as they progressed through school. The number of words spoken to a child had a strong correlation between the number of words that they heard in their first thirty months and their performance on vocabulary and reading comprehension tests as they got older./
人生投资排序的风险
潜力大的年轻专业人士常犯的错误之一，就是认为对生活的投资可以排序。逻辑是，例如，“我可以在我们孩子小的时候投资我的事业，而培养孩子并没那么重要。孩子长大一点，开始对大人感兴趣的事情感兴趣的时候，我就可以把脚从事业的加速器上抬起来，进而我会专注于我的家庭。”你猜怎么着，到那时游戏结束了。对孩子的投资需要在这之前就开始，也就是为他提供生存挑战所需的工具了——比你意识到的早得多。
有重要的研究表明，生命的最初几个月对智力的发展非常重要。正如《扰乱课堂》一书中所述，托德·里斯利和贝蒂·哈特两位研究人员研究了父母在孩子生命的前两年半如何与孩子交谈的影响。在仔细观察和记录了父母和孩子之间的所有互动后，他们注意到，平均而言，父母每小时会对婴儿说1500个单词。“健谈”(通常受过大学教育)的父母平均会对孩子说2100个单词。相比之下，较少言语(通常教育程度较低)背景的父母平均每小时只说600句话。如果你把前30个月的数都加起来，父母“健谈”的孩子听到了大约4800万个单词，而最少的儿童只听到了1300万个。研究表明，孩子们听到这些话最重要的时间是出生的第一年。里斯雷和哈特的研究跟踪了他们所研究的孩子在学校的学习进展。对一个孩子说的单词量与他们在头三十个月听到的单词量以及他们长大后在词汇和阅读理解测试中的表现有很强的相关性。
