2、memorable experiences in close to a decade of helping new mothers raising their children in poverty in Dayton, Ohio. Once, she arrived at a new clients home to fund a TV news crew waiting outside; apparently, someone fleeing gunfire had sought shelter there. Another time, she knocked on a door only
3、to hear screaming in response, but no one would let her in. Later she learned it was the familys parrots, which had been trained to shout at visitors.Ballards job-when she can get in the house-is to try to give low-income parents a leg up. She teaches them many of the same child-rearing techniques t
4、hat give the children of middle-class and educated parents an edge socially and in school-and that instruction is often eye-opening for both Ballard and her clients. You would be surprised to know what new parents dont know, Ballard says, recalling the case of one father who thought babies couldnt h
5、ear at birth. He asked, “When do their eyes open? He thought they were like puppies,“ she says.Theres no doubt that low-income parents-indeed, most new parents-could use a little guidance. In some countries, like France, that guidance is institutionalized. Nurse home visits for all pregnant and new
6、mothers are routine and free of charge, sponsored by the government. In the U.S. the national NurseFamily Partnership program (NFP) covers about 16,300 families living in poverty in 25 states, but President Obama has said he plans to expand the benefit, extending it to every first-time poor mother i
7、n the country-about 570,000 women each year. The Presidents stimulus plan includes more than $3 billion in funding for early-childhood-intervention programs such as Head Start and Early Head Start.The question is, will the money make a real difference in childrens lives? In a recent article in The N
8、ew York Times, Douglas Besharov of the conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute and a colleague argued that expanding pre-kindergarten programs “without demanding reforms will not help children.“ Other critics have also stated that funding early-childhood initiatives is just a consolati
9、on to liberal interest groupsBut the science supporting warm and fuzzy early-childhood interventions is sound and is only getting stronger. “Theres converging evidence from neuroscience (神经学), social science and animal data,“ says Martha Farah, director of the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at th
10、e University of Pennsylvania. “If you want to invest societal resources where they will have the biggest benefit for all of us, clearly the evidence is there now that protecting children from the worst kinds of deprivation in their youngest years will result in more functional, capable, prosocial ci
11、tizens.“The NFP was developed in the 1970s by David Olds, a professor of pediatrics and preventive medicine at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. NFP involves about 64 home visits from a nurse during the first 21 /2 years of a childs life. Many of the new mothers who receive the bene
12、fit are single, are on welfare, have low education levels and are dealing with addiction, mental illness and family violence. Nurses visit once a week during pregnancy and early infancy, answering health questions, teaching basic parenting skills and, crucially, helping morns whose own early lives w
13、ere often characterized by chaos build confidence that they can do better for their children.These visits have a pretty good payoff. A recent analysis by the Rand Corp. found that for every dollar spent providing nurse visitors to high-risk families, the government could save nearly $6 in welfare, j
14、uvenile-justice and health-care costs down the line. Dividends for the families well-being may be even higher. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (J.A.M.A.) a few years ago found that children in the north of New York whose mothers were visited by nurses during preg
15、nancy and two years after birth were 59% less likely to have been arrested 15 years later, compared with a control group.Another study, also in J.A.M.A., found that nurse home visits were associated with a nearly 50% drop in rates of child abuse or neglect in new families and that visits increased t
16、he amount of time between a mothers first and second pregnancies. Rates of hypertension (高血压), which is known to interfere with fetal brain development, were also reduced. And mothers spent less time on welfare and worked more.Theres really no mystery to the programs success, says Olds. Simple inter
17、ventions, like encouraging new parents to show affection to their children or to talk to them more, result in huge rewards for babies. In poor families, adults tend to speak to babies only to issue commands, in a business-only style of parenting rather than talking to children to communicate affecti
18、on, identify objects, introduce concepts or teach language-a phenomenon more conmmon in middle-class and wealthy households. Studies have shown that by pre-school age, children whose parents gesture or talk to them less in babyhood know significantly fewer vocabulary words than children whose parent
19、s engage them more often. That deficit can affect students performance for years.What happens early has a long-term impact, says Olds. Indeed, about 90% of a childs brain growth takes place before kindergarten, so its critical to teach new parents what to expect as a child develops not only during p
20、regnancy and early childhood but also as the child matures. A large part of nurse home visits are designed to teach parents how to respond to their children as they age and help them manage the extra burden of parenting with few resources. Says Olds: “Learning to understand childrens motivations and
21、 abilities helps parents treat them more sensitively and responsively, and that makes it easier for children to accept guidance and not respond provocatively.“It also creates a less stressful environment and protects against child abuse and neglect, and those reductions can in turn cut childrens ris
22、ks of later engaging in crime and suffering from addiction, mental illness, obesity and cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. The key, according to Olds research, begins with properly trained nurses; home visits by paraprofessionals (专业人员的助手) arent as effective. Despite the current shortage of nurses in th
23、e U.S., Olds says his program is ready to grow. “The NFP is ready for substantial expansion, as long as we recognize that serving 500,000 new families per year will take time.“ But its an investment that self-propagates. Once the nurses have educated new moms, says Ballard, the mothers start educati
24、ng one another. “Its so neat to watch,“ she says. “We give information to our clients, and they share with neighbors. One client was the go-to person for everything. Shed say, Talking to your babies makes them smart. And the other morns would always come to her.“(分数:70.00)(1).One of Tammy Ballards c
