- Differences in how children experience childhood
- Social class
- Middle class children are more likely to have married parents and older parents than working class children.
- Working class children are more likely to have divorced parents and to have siblings than middle class children.
- Working class children are more likely to experience material deprivation and cannot have luxuries like holidays and presents.
- Middle class children are less likely to be the subject of bullying as their parents can afford to buy them expensive clothes, electronics, etc.
- Ethncity
- Minority ethnic parents are much less likely to read to their children at age 3 and have less regular routines.
- Children from Indian, mixed, or other ethnic groups appear to experience fewer relationship problems with their mother, whereas Pakistani children experience significantly more.
- Children from minority ethnic backgrounds are more likely to have attended nursery by age 5 and less likely to have attended a playgroup.
- Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and black African children have significantly more siblings than white children.
- Social class
- In the case of disconnected parents (parents who prioritise their phones over their children), boys were more likely to respond by acting out, whereas girls' low self worth was reinforced.
- Gender
- These survey results were due to parents believing boys have more manageable emotional needs, higher resilience, and better communication skills.
- In a survey asking what parents what gender is easier to raise, 66% said boys, 17% said girls, 13% said both are difficult to raise while 4% believed both genders were easy to raise.
- Boys are more likely to engage in risky behaviours and are less fearful by loud noises and stimuli. Girls are more likely to have more developed language, reasoning, and reflection abilities.
