what is the most suitable playing games for my son,he is 2.5 years old ? I want to make him smarter.?

Answer 1

The game should not need the complex thinking associated with strategy or even winning at all. The "game" should give the child a foundation of actual learning. Educational things such as the old school, Reading Rabbit or Number Munchers. Something to start to child off to grasp a basic understanding a letters/numbers.
Once the child can understand basic knowledge, Chess is very good.

Answer 2

The best thing that you can do make him "smarter" is to let him think for himself. If he is told how to think and how to act consistently, he will not be able to think more intelligently when he is out in the real world on his own. An example, if he is told repeatedly, "Jimmy don't hit the puppy," it will not register in his mind why he can't other than mommy doesn't want him to.

He should be getting old enough now to understand short directions. Let him think of the consequences. If he has ever had the experience of being hit by another child, you can relate that experience to him. You could say, "Remember that boy that hit you. How did you feel? Did it make you sad? And if you hit the puppy, how do you think the puppy would feel if you hit him?"

It's all about having him grasp the concept for himself. Being a parent is about teaching not preaching. The end goal is to make him a great human being. One that gets how life works so he knows properly how to socialize and want to learn new things. Handing answers to him and not giving him the opportunity to expand his mind will not make him smarter.

I, too, agree that books are far more important and taking the time to share them with him. You will create a bond and learning experience that will be far more helpful to developing his cognitive abilities.

Good luck and I hope nothing but the best for you and your child. I look forward to you getting great advice here.

Answer 3

To be honest, I don't think he should be playing games yet. While I have nothing against "gaming" (heck, I'm a gamer myself), you should instead buy your son some beginner's books, with interesting pictures and start teaching him what words are and how to speak properly.

I would also suggest "role playing" a little too, like teaching him the value of sharing, or why not to touch a hot stove. You can be creative (but stay safe! like don't have your son touch a hot stove, just teach him that it's not safe).

I wouldn't get him "hooked" on games just yet, cause games at that age aren't that useful overall (not saying useless, but if they can't operate it themselves, it's not of much use to them), and don't really do much better than a picture book with the alphabet on it.

Answer 4

I'm assuming this is a serious question so I will give you a serious answer.

Smart parents know that the best "games" for children of any age are those they invent for themselves: empty boxes or paper bags are a great start to let a young child's imagination develop. A box becomes a race car, a space ship, an ocean liner, a cave...endless possibilities....

The most important thing for a parent is to read, read, read to a child....age specific books at first but increasingly more engaging literature, until they want to read to you...Trust me, if you do this regularly, your child will be reading far beyond their age and grade in school. But they need to see you reading all the time too. Kids are mimics and want to be like their parents....if you're smart enough to figure this out, your kids will be ahead of the rest.

Limit television viewing, better still, turn the TV off and engage your child (children) in conversation. As they get older and want to watch TV, have them tape the stuff they want to watch to view AFTER they finish their homework or chores. This logic works and you avoid pre-teen and teen arguments.

I would put a reasonable time limit on use of the Internet as the child gets older. You want imagination and social skills to develop naturally before you explode the Internet into your kid's little head.

There is nothing part time about parenting. Make sure you and your whole family sit down to have dinner together, everyday! That means no overprogramming of any kind....sports or karate lessons or any of that foolishness should never preempt having supper together. You should genuinely ask your child about his/her day and talk to them about the day's events but LISTEN to them as well.

Including children in dinner time conversation is one of the most satisfying parts of parenting....after they are through the food throwing-pea smashing stages of childhood...it gets sooo much better when they get civilized and use words, sentences, and eventually ideas!

Don't hover over your child....part of being a smart parent of smart kids is to give them room and let them grow and then let them go.

You have to get out of their way eventually. And you can't MAKE them do much of anything. So my last bit of advice is to enjoy being a parent and not worry about making him/her smarter. But if you follow the simple suggestions I've made you can't help but end up with a smart AND happy child.
