how do i make my child be clever?

Answer 1

HIDE MONEY AROUND THE HOUSE IN PLACES WHERE HE/SHE WILL HAVE TO BE INTUITIVE TO FIND IT.
----OR FEED THEM THAT "FOCUS FACTOR" SUPPLEMENT YOU SEE ON TV

Answer 2

Give the child plenty of free time -- do not schedule every waking hour. Once a child is "bored" they will move past that and find something to do. This will teach him/her how to think, be more creative, etc.

Encourage a child to pursue his/her own interests, not yours. They're going to learn more about a self-chosen subject than one imposed on them. (for example, don't force the child to practice piano an hour a day if he/she yearns to play trombone)

Expose the child to as many clever people as possible. Even better if they are clever in a wide variety of fields. Encourage the child to get to know mechanics, symphony musicians, philosophers, physicists, architects, nurses, high school students, retired firefighters, gardeners, bakers, etc. etc.

Expose the child to as much information as he /she needs. Books. The Internet. Libraries.

Expose the child to a wide variety of experience. Visits to large cities, small towns, farms, museums, natural wonders. Teach the child to bake bread, do laundry, fix a broken toaster, plant a garden.

Talk with the child, not to the child.

Answer 3

You didn't mention the age of your child. Instead of the word 'clever' you should have used the word 'wise' or 'intelligent'. Intelligence is the product of heredity and environment. Try to find out first the inherent qualities of your child. Based on his/her inborn talents, give the child a good education. Tools of education are not in scarce in this modern era. Leave the child in the fold of nature so that he/she can enjoy and study. Pay attention to the growth and development of the child, Fine!

Answer 4

Intelligence is something that is innate -- your child will be gifted or not. Although you cannot change your child's natural abilities you can help your child to become eduated and to use his or her full potential. For instance, reading to your child and exposing your child to books at an early age is a good idea. Limit the video game playing time. If you have an infant, just talking will help well.

Answer 5

You can't make your child have a higher IQ potential than he/she already has, but you can give him/her opportunities and one on one time with them doing educational things in a fun and engaging way which will give him/her the tools needed for a life of learning and discovery. If you have the money you can enroll him/her in Montessori school and make sure the school he/she goes to has a good solid program and good teachers. You can set the example by reading during free time, watch Discovery Channel together, do puzzles, go to museums and ask him/her to tell you what he/she thinks about things and discuss them. These are the kinds of things the parents of my friends and my parents did for us and we were all well-rounded individuals in high potential classes and all of us went on to university. You don't have to put them in special after school courses - it is the time and involvement of the parent combined with the opportunity to learn -mostly books- that gave each of us the perspective of learning and the motivation to do well.

Answer 6

Apparently...
-classical music increse your child's IQ...according to Discovery Channel.
- Good Food. Nutrients are relally important...go to the foodpyramid website.
- Enough Sleep. Or else he/she wont have enough energy.
- Balance. You can't just let him/her study 24/7...u gotta give em time to play and stuff.
-Positive reinforcement. U have to be enthusiastic about his learning.
- Read Books. Most of your learnt vocabulary are grasped by doing so.
- So to museums, parks, etc. Sightseeing can boost his/her knowledge of the world around him/her.

JUST HAVE FUN AND DONT PUSH HIM/HER TOO HARD!!

hope ive helped!

Answer 7

Let them watch sesame street.

My son learnt a ton when he was little, things we didn't know he knew.
The only thing he is crap at is the times tables. He just would never learn, yet he's great at the other math stuff, algebra and the likes.

Answer 8

Don't worry too much about that stuff. Be a good parent is all. Maybe give him/her puzzles to do and other things that involve a little simple brain work.

Answer 9

Spend a lot of time teaching and bonding with him or her. Play classical music in the background. It works!

Answer 10

Read to him. Take him to museums, concerts, libraries. Have lots of books around.

Answer 11

Give good food and practise i.e practise to read, buy book, make book as his/her close friend.
