In 1972, Dr Margaret Pollak published her book Today's Three-Year
Oids in London. This was a sensitive study of family life and the
social environment of a large number of London children, together
with an account of their developmental assessment by various test
methods. She showed that variations of developmental performances
were more closely related to the quality of family life than to
social and economic factors. Dr Pollak has now re-investigated the
same children at nine years of age and this book is a record of her
findings. The differences in development which were noted at three
years of age remain in the older children. Those children who, at
three years of age, were underachievers, particularly in verbal and
adaptive abilities, are the children who, at nine years, can still
be identified by lower achieve ment at school. These results must
be of important relevance to educationalists, and all concerned
with the psychologists as well as to paediatricians welfare of
children. We must all be disturbed by the failure of any children
in our urban city centres to benefit from education and our
anxieties must be heightened if, amongst the underachievers, there
are particular groups who can be identified by their ethnic
identities. In Britain, education in school occupies a relatively
small part of a child's life. Dr Pollak has identified some of the
factors in a child's wider experience and, especially, in the total
home environment which are associated with the persistence of
inferior performance."
