It is no secret that success in learning depends on a whole range of factors. And diligence in doing homework or regular attendance of classes is far from decisive among them. American psychologists conducted a large-scale study and found out what actually is fundamental for a successful school child.
A total of 6,600 children were examined. With the help of special complex tests, the performance of babies was evaluated from birth to admission to kindergarten. Important indicators were also the material well-being of the family, the level of education and professional skills of the parents.
It turned out that children born in poor families coped with various puzzles worse than others. The strong motivation for the development of intellectual skills were the hopes that parents placed on their child, as well as the potential opportunity for him to enter higher education.
It turned out that children whose parents had a mathematical or economic education, better than their peers, solved the simplest mathematical problems.
