do you think all babies (minus those with disability) are born equalin intelligence terms?have same potential?

Answer 1

no, dont beleive that, I'm sure that genetics/DNA plays a part in a child's intelligence.

Answer 2

Tough question. If we are all born equal, why do some of us end up as Mensa geniuses and others in remedial reading all through school? Maybe we are all born equal but how we are nurtured by our parents and teachers cause the ultimate outcome. I don't know. Maybe our personalities make more of a difference. If you are willing to work to learn how to spell or do calculus you have a higher potential than someone who doesn't want to try. You can be very intelligent and be horrible in school, and you can be great in school and horrible at life skills. I guess it all comes down to the fact that no two people are the same.

Answer 3

Genetics does partially determine intelligence, but environmental effects have a large part to play as well.
Everyone (minus some disabilities, but not all) is born with the potential to get to A level and get good grades. The main reason why they don't is lack of motivation and social pressure - motivation meaning they don't know why they are there learning, social pressure being it isn't 'cool' to like/do well at school.

Answer 4

No, not every child has the same potential, genetics, upbringing and experience play a role in forming intelligence and developing potential.

Disability can be irrelevant, I have Asperger's Syndrome and an IQ of 127, or relevant e.g. Down's Syndrome

Answer 5

No, I've read enough research that shows that intellience is a function of both nature and nurture. Genetics gives some children a leg up from birth, but the right environment can make the most of a baby's potential.

Answer 6

I think all babies including those with disabilities have potential.
Just because you are born with all of your wits about you doesnt mean that you will use them or gain all the potenial in life that they were blessed with if they just used it.
Many children with disabilities have very much potential and grow up to do a great many things.

Answer 7

Yes, I do believe that all babies are born with the same amount of intelligence. I think what makes some children smarter then others are two things--the rate in which they process and learn imformation and the amount of time their parent/s put into their development.

Answer 8

No. Genetically some people are more likely to be academic than others. Also upbringing can make a difference and natural temperament. For instance my brother and I had the same upbringing. He is much less academic than I am. He can however fix a car and build a brick wall.

Answer 9

It is never a good idea to knowingly marry a thick person if you care about your children and their future. Intelligence if a product of hereditory factors plus the level of stimuli the child gets from the onset.

Answer 10

i think your question is quite cruel, i think all babies are different in intellegence but how can you put in brackets except disabilitied have you ever sat down with sum1 with autism or downs etcc the majority are more clever than those without disabilities and insteda of living in a perfect world i think that people should look beneath the serface at the amazingly clever people behind the dissabilities

Answer 11

this was the wrong question to ask...!
every child has a potential to increase their i.q. and creativity quotient by parental input. Consequently, the 'question' should be, 'what must a parent do to maximise their child's potential.' And quite a simple answer too....lots of reading to them, lots of prime time spent with them, colouring, painting, talking to them, a wide range of meanful activities.
