Strong early education equals better long-term relationships with parents, research shows

Children who are given high-quality education at an early age - starting at six weeks old and continuing through their first five years of life - are more likely to be employed full-time and have better relationships with their parents as adults, according to new results from a longitudinal study now entering its fifth decade.

The most recent findings from the landmark Abecedarian Project are about later quality of life, which are tied to what the children experienced four decades ago in the first five years of their lives.
