[73]      See for example, Tina Rosenberg, 'The Power of Talking to Your Baby', The New York Times, 10 April 2013. Parents from low socio-economic backgrounds tend to talk to their children less, children whose families were on welfare hearing about 600 words an hour, working-class children 1,200 words and children from professional families heard 2,100 words. Researchers Betty Hart and Todd R Risley concluded that this language exposure explained the difference in student preparedness for school.
