Why do children from different social classes have different starting lines? Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race, and Family Life tells us that parents of different social classes differ in parenting styles due to differences in family economic levels, educational backgrounds, and work experience. Middle-class families tend to employ a pattern of concerted cultivation, while working-class and poor families tend to allow children to grow naturally. Different parenting styles have different effects on children's development.
