Aussie Experiment That Followed Kids From Birth Has Surprising Results

A landmark study following the lives of 167 Australians for over 30 years that had a mission to find out if a child's start in life determines their fate has come to an end.
Participant Isabel Walker joins us to tell us how she feels about looking back on that journey.

They still didn't explain the results. What was the data?

If you have a rich and supportive family you have a head start was one finding.

[@nellymoo635]

Surprise! A stable and healthy family environment contributes to a healthy and stable child, adolescent, adult. Captain OBVIOUS!

[@Neojhun]

But not notably successful. That seems to come from difficult upbringing very often.

[@egl3369]

What a surprise. Money creates opportunity.

[@multioptioned]

Millionaire autocue readers on the project are proof of that! 😮

The family you are born into paves the life path whether we agree or not 🤔

[@janebaker4912]

Replace "genetics" with "money".

[@8swerve]

Isabel is really likeable.

[@everywherenowhere6901]

Why did they interview the white woman who had violin lessons?

[@janebaker4912]

Did you mom for 9 kids or is it a blended family?

[@bikechiatry365]

Groundbreaking 😂😂😂

[@nellymoo635]
