HOW TO RAISE SMART CHILDREN

A child's brain growth comes from experience and the exercise the brain receives. Sight, sound, touch, taste and smell stimulate the brain's cell connections (called synapses) and create trillions more. The more complex these interconnections, the smarter your child will be. When you provide your child with early stimulation and a wide range of experiences, you can accelerate his brain development.

STEP ONE

Interact with your child. Scientists have observed that babies who were not cuddled, played with and loved have stunted brain growth. They also observed that babies who were not held and did not receive attention failed to grow, became depressed, and eventually died. On the other hand, many studies have shown that hugging, interacting and playing with your child has a strong effect on developing his intelligence. The loving connection formed between you and your child and your one-on-one interaction with him provide the foundation for his higher thinking skills. 

STEP TWO

Talk to your child. Also, listen to when your child is speaking. talking. This reinforces their effort to communicate and for language. You may also read books to your child. Start reading to even if your child does not understand the words. This gives them a head start in developing language skills. Children who are read to when young are more likely to develop a lifelong interest in reading, do well in school, and succeed in adult life. Reading books is one of the most important activities that make children smart. 

STEP THREE

Expose your child to things that develop both sides of their brain - the left side functions for reasoning, logic and language, while the right side features creativity and the arts.

STEP FOUR

let your child play – When your child plays, they are creating the foundation for their intellectual, social, physical and emotional skills. When your child plays with other children, they learn to combine ideas, impressions and feelings with others.

STEP FIVE

Encourage your child to exercise - Physical exercise does not only make your child strong, but it also makes your child smart! Exercise increases the flow of blood to the brain and builds new brain cells. Exercise is good for adults' mental sharpness, but it has a more long-lasting effect on your child's developing brain. 

STEP SIX 

Make music a part of your child’s life – Studies have shown that listening to music can boost memory, attention, motivation and learning. It can also lower stress that is destructive to your child's brain. Learning to play a musical instrument has an effect on the brain’s proportional thinking and spatial temporal reasoning that lay the foundation for abstract math. If possible, start with the piano. After learning to read music and play up to 10 notes at a time, it will be much easier for them to learn any of the other instruments. But starting them with music young--no matter what the instrument--is the important thing.

STEP SEVEN

Let your child witness you doing smart things - Children learn by modeling adult’s behavior. If they see you engaged in reading books, writing, making music, or doing creative things, they will imitate you, and in the process get smarter 

STEP EIGHT

Let your child play smart computer games - The best computer games teach your child about letters, math, music, phonics and many others. It also develops their hand-eye coordination and prepares them for tomorrow’s technology. More importantly, the child learns these while they play. Learning and having fun at the same time is the best way for your child to learn.

STEP NINE

Feed your child properly - Giving the right food is important to raise a smart child. A protein-rich diet (egg, fish, meat, beans, peanuts, etc.) improves their attention, alertness, and thinking. Carbohydrates give his brain the fuel that is used in thinking. The best ones are those that come from whole grain and fruits. Processed carbohydrates and sugar have bad effects on attention span, focusing ability, and activity level. Vitamins and minerals are also important.

STEP TEN 

Take them on outings. Some good options are the museum and tourist attractions. Once they are old enough take them on educational yet very thrilling/exciting places such as The London Dungeons. Taking them on affordable trips abroad is a good option too.  

maybe useful and can be a learning experience for the mother to raise smart children.
