45、 American famis look moredifferentn ever before.B Well-off fami s are ruled by calendars, with children enrolled in ballet, soccer and after-school programs, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. There are usually two parents, who spend a lot of time reading to children and worrying about t

46、heir anxiety levels and hectic schedules.C In poor famis, meanwhile, children tend to spend their time at home orwith extended family. They are more likely to grow up in neighborhoodst theirparents say arent great for raising children, and their parents worry about them getting shot, beaten up orrou

47、ble with the law.D The class differenin child rearing are growing a symptom of wideninginequality with far-reaching consequen. Different upbringings set children ondifferent paths and can deepen socioeconomic divis, espelly because educationis strongly linked to earnings. Children grow up learning t

48、he skills to succeedheirsocioeconomic stratum (階層), but not nesarily others.E “Early childhood experiencan be very consequential for childrenslong-term sol, emotional and cognitive development,” said Sean Reardon,professor of poverty and inequality in education at Stanford University. “And becauseth

49、ose influence educational sucs and later earnings, early childhood experiencast a lifelong shadow.” The cycle continues: Poorarents have less time and fewerresourto investheir children, which can leave children less prepared for schooland work, which leads to lower earnings.F American parents want s

50、imilar things for their children, the Pew report and past research have found: for them to be healthy and happy, honest and ethical, caringand compas and acrossate. There is no best parenting style or philosophy, researchers say,e groups, 92% of parents say they areng a good job at raisingtheir chil

51、dren. Yet they areng it quite differently. Middle-class and higher-eparents see their children as projects in need of careful cultivation, says Annette Lareau, whose groundbreaking research on the topic was published in her book Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race and Family Life. They try to develop th

52、eir skillsthrough close superviandanized activities, and teach children to questionauthority figures and navigate elite institutions.G Working-class parents, meanwhile, be ve their children will naturally thrive, and give them far greater independence and time for free play. They are taught to be co

53、mpliant and respectful to adults. There are benefits to both approaches. Working-class children are happier, more independent, complain less and are closerwith family members, Ms. Lareau found.e children are more likely todeclare boredom and expect their parents to solve their problems. Yet later on

54、, the more affluent children end up in college and on the way to the middle class, whileworking-class children tend to struggle. Children frome famis arelikely to have the skills to navigate bureaucracies and succeed in schools andworkpla, Ms. Lareau said.H “Do all parents want the most sucs for the

55、ir children? Absoluy,” shesaid. “Do some strategies give children more advantagesn others in institutions?Probably they do. Will parents be damaging children if they have one feweranized activity? No, I really doubt it.”I Sol scientists say the differenarise in part becausee parentshave less money t

56、o spend on music class or preschool, and less flexible schedules to take children to museums or attend school events. Extracurricular activities reflect the differen in child rearing in the Pew survey, which was of a nationallyrepresenive sle of 1,807 parents. Omis earning moren $75,000 a year,84% s

57、ay their children have participated inanized sports over the past year, 64%have done voteer work and 62% have taken lessons in music, dance or art. Offamis earning lessn $30,000, 59% of children have done sports, 37% havevoteered and 41% have taken arts classes.J Espelly in affluent famis, childrens

Nearly half of children in arts classes before e, less- educated parents.high-earning, college-graduate parents enrolled their they were 5, compared with one-fifth ofNonetheless, 20% of well-off parents say their childrens schedules are too hectic,compared with 8% of poorarents.K Another

59、 exle is reading aloud, which studies have shown gives childrenbigger vocabularies and better reading comprehenin school. 71% of parents witha college degree say theyt every day, compared with 33% of those wihighschool diploma or less. White parents are more likely children daily, as are married par

Discipline techniques vary by education level: 8% of those with a tgraduate degree say they often beat their children, compared with 22% of those
