Reading Steve Wozniaks biography iWoz I support your view that parents nowadays focus more on education in youngest years. Steve learned about electronic components even before he was four years old. His father explained to him many things about electronics before he was old enough for school. He learned to read at the age of three. This needs parents who assist. Steve Wozniak praised his father for explaining always on a level he could understand. Only one step at a time.
His exceptional high intelligence, he cited a test IQ > 200, is for sure not only inherited but consequence of loving care, teaching and challenging by his parents and peers.
There no good reason to think about this effect based on individual anecdotes. We do have controlled studies about the effects of parenting and it suggests that it doesn’t matter much.
You are right. I needed some time for reading. The Flynn effect documents long term rise of fluid intelligence. Parenting and teaching are improving predominantly crystalline intelligence.
