How can i make my child smart?

Answer 1

Model smart behavior. If he sees you making smart choices and doing smart things, then he'll do the same. You don't need to directly point it out to him... just do it. When you have to make an important decision, do mention it to him, and why you made the choice you did. Not as a big deal, just "by the way..."

Read, read, read!!! Read together, for fun. Share the story, don't just "get through it." Model your own reading for fun during quiet time.

Use counting, measurement, and other math skills consciously rather than just "going through the routine." Have him directly involved with the measurement during cooking or making something for the house, helping with the calculations in shopping, etc. The more he sees math in practical application, the more he'll be motivated to study it in school.

Go places and see new things. Talk together about what you are seeing, using the correct words for everything. The greater his vocabulary and variety of experience, the better he can think.

Limit TV watching, both in amount of time and in what is watched. Outdoor play time, indoor quiet imaginitive play with toys, puzzles, etc. are much better for his mental development.

Don't push.... SUPPORT. GUIDE. Let him be himself.

Answer 2

That depends on your school of thought...some people will tell you that your child will be born with a certain capacity for learning and there's nothing you can do to change that. I would tell you to do one very important thing: teach them to LOVE to read. My parents did that with me and to this day I read every chance I get. No matter what it is. It's a very easy way to get information with no effort and if you can teach them to enjoy it, they will want to do it more!

Good luck!

P.S. If you are looking for worldly intelligence in there too then you can encourage tolerance. The right of other people to be different from them without ridicule as long as they are not negatively impacting those around them.

Answer 3

READ!!!

Read to the child every day.
When s/he can read, still read to them, but also have daily sessions where s/he reads to you.
Introduce them to the public library and make weekly trips there.

Turn your child into an avid reader, and they will always be eager to read and learn.

Limit family tv viewing and video game use to less than combined two hours a day, .... and instead, read as a family, and play board games.

Answer 4

Encourage him/her to ask questions and give the best answers you can, according to his/her age. Read books together and spend as much time with your child as you can. This is good for their learning skills as well as their confidence.

Answer 5

Answer 6

The best way I know is to read to them every chance you get and encourage them to read along with you. It's great quality time for you and your kids and they'll pick up on it faster than you think.

Answer 7

Have you thought that perhaps your child may not be interested in intellectual endeavours?

Just don't MAKE your child do anything they don't really want to do.

Answer 8

You could always force-feed him/her knowledge, and send him/her to a prissy private school when he gets to that age. Of course, you could let nature take it's course and merely provide him/her with the opportunities to learn and grow...

Answer 9

Encourage curiosity.

Read...ALOT!
