Employees of the National Institute of Child Healthand human development in the US conducted an interesting study that showed that the material status of parents is directly related to the intelligence of their children. Unbelievable but true.

As a result, it was possible to find out that children from wealthy families were healthier and smarter than their peers from poor families by school age. Moreover, initially (at birth), neurological differences between the babies were not observed. Experts associate these data with several factors at once, the main ones being nutrition and education. Also, in their opinion, deviations in a child in a poor family may be associated with the bad habits of their mothers: smoking and drinking alcohol. It is worth noting that the results of the study are not 100% certain. Each family has its own exceptions. There is no doubt that rich people can have children who are not inclined to learn, and poor people can have children with a high IQ. By the way, not long ago it became known about a 13-year-old girl with an IQ level exceeding Einstein himself. By the way, she was born into a middle-income family, but has already received an invitation to study at Oxford.
