I can think of countless counterexamples to this. Sure, you want to make sure that you feed your kids, don't ignore them, give them learning experiences and make sure they pay attention at school etc, but IME, weak people just end up being weak people and strong people just end up being strong people and their childhood experience seems to have little to do with it. If anything, excessively "perfect childhoods" seem to lead to people who can't really deal with any level of adversity because everything is just theirs and always was theirs and always should be theirs. They literally don't know how to deal with it, in the same way that an Australian (generally) doesn't know how to speak German, they need to learn as adults. Looking at statistics here is silly because you're basically just going to end up with the obvious conclusion that poor people stay poor.
