The age difference between the children should be more than 2 years

The experts found that older children from children dogodkov develop intellectually worse than children, the age difference between them is two years or more.


The researchers came to this conclusion after a study of 5,000 children. It turned out that a very small difference in age between children (<2 years) had a negative effect on reading ability and mathematical ability of an older child. This pattern is especially clearly seen in families with two children. However it was found that in families with three or more children, a small difference in age between the two children also had a negative impact on the development of the older dogodkov.




The author is research economist Casey Banks (two Buckles) from the University of Notre Dame (University of Notre Dame). Casey Balks believes that when a younger brother or sister too early, parents are torn between two children and, eventually, the older less attention. Casey Balks found that in families where the birth of the first and second child were less than two years, the eldest child less engaged in intellectual pursuits and spent most of my time at the TV screen at the age of 3-5 years.
