If you grow up poor:
1. Your mom probably didn’t have good prenatal care.
2. Your chances of surviving your first year in Michigan are lower than in most other states.
3. Your chance of being breastfed is lower, and that can impact your development.
4. You were exposed to fewer words than a middle class child.
5. You enter school behind middle class children and fall farther behind.
6. There’s a good chance you will drop out of high school.
