    Research backs what I knew intuitively
  

*by V***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2020*

The author and her research assistants follow the families written about in the book for 10 years looking at how their different child rearing practices affects their children's outcomes. The focus is primarily on the use of language in communication with the children and the use of language on behalf of the children in regard to schooling and other important instutions. Additionally parental involvement as it relates to connecting children to organized activities is analyzed. Not surprisingly the more verbal parents who confidently interacted with their children's schools and placed their children in formal activities had children who succeeded educationally and career-wise over those who did not. These children developed the verbal and social skills that lead to success in our society. Unfortunately, the children whose parents did not do those were less likely to thrive.Obvious yes but very interesting when you drive into the detailed case studies. Mentioned but could have been emphasized more is that the parents who were less verbal had less education themselves and in the families studied, far less money to spend on extracurricular developmental activities. These families were trying to survive and provide the basic necessities to their children.I would love to see a follow-up of where the children are now that almost another 10 years has passed. Most probably have families of their own and it would be interesting to see if anything has changed.

    Where is the critical analysis?
  

*by D***B on Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2014*

I am just so fundamentally troubled by the repeated positive reviews of this book.  While I agree, this was a "fun" book to read, very readable that is, as a practicing sociologist I find this book to be hugely problematic.  There are sooooo many criticisms I have of this book - where to start?  Suffice it to say that the very rich data  on which this book is based is it's high point.  The low point is the vast absence of analysis.  It is the critical analysis of data that makes sociology.  If you're going to write about race, gender, class, etc. then do a critical analysis of it.  Not knowing better, students would be left to believe after having read this book that only poor people beat their kids (For real?  Can we not show some statistics of domestic abuse?  Where's the analysis?), that people of color live in the middle class at rates equal to white people and go to college at rates equal to white students (context please??? A tiny little chart demonstrating the vast disparities please?)  and for those who don't, we're led to believe that, well, they live in projects and then go to prison and there's no particular reason for that (Where's the analysis?  Does the author REALLY want to leave it at that?).  Moreover, there is no attempt at contextualizing the lives of poor people as active agents and/or survivors who DO advocate for themselves - we are left to believe they are dupes and passive victims with no voice (Seriously?  Where's the analysis of poor people's movements?). I am furthermore, rebuffed that somehow on the basis of this that the author is now in 2014, amazingly, the president of the ASA.  Wow.  Just wow.  This isn't actually sociology.  The little tid bit references to "Life Chances" and Bourdieu are wholly inadequate and do not make this study sociological.  It's as if this book is just raw data waiting to be analyzed.
