If a kid isn’t spoken to properly, read to, taught numbers, colors, time, how to behave, how to tie his shoelaces, play nice, share, respect others, and know the difference between right and wrong, he will be miles behind by the time he reaches the second grade; it takes that long for the kid to know he’s behind and to start acting behind. He will from then on have trouble keeping up with other children—an all too familiar problem in our society.
