what computergames make my child smart?

Question

she is 8 and her reading is ok but she is not very accurate (in sums specially)

Answer 1

'where in the world is carmen sandiego'. those were awesome learning games

Answer 2

There are tons of computer programs, games so on and so forth that you can use to enhance your daughter's learning, but NOTHING will take the place of the time you spend with her. Reading is tops, and if you are concerned about her math facts, then get (or make) some flash cards and work with her. Just a few minutes a day is all it takes. My 8 yr old son loves to do math drills in the car when we are running our countless errands. He also likes to work on them while I'm cooking, or stuff like that. Lots of reading, both reading to her and her reading on her own will definitely help.
Computers are great, but no substitute for good old fashioned time and work.
She'll get it, don't worry. Every child is different and every child learns at their own pace.Maybe you just need to find her learning style and cater to that.

Answer 3

No computer game can make your child smart. The brain develops during infancy and requires mommy's milk and frequent holding by mommy to grow optimally. Intelligence develops in the context of a healthy, happy one on one relationship. If you avoid day care, are an attentive, active parent, and nurse your child on demand, you'll lay down an excellent foundation for her brain. If not, computer games still won't make her smart.

Reading improves through practice. Practice occurs when a child is actually reading an enjoyable book. Geronimo Stilton books are wonderful for reluctant readers her age, because the books are filled with maps, lists, rebuses, and colorful illustrations. Having her write her own short books is helpful. If she likes music, karaoke might be fun for reading practice (I notice our cable tv has a karaoke channel which shows all the words to the songs; it's fun.)

Playing Monopoly and Yahtzee are great ways to practice sums, in a fun way. Play is the way. But not alone. You don't stick her alone in front of a computer to learn - you sit down with her and play those games, read those books together.

Computer games that focus on math are very much just practice oriented, not instruction oriented. However, "The Logical Journey of the Zoombinis" is a great game for practicing and developing logic.

Answer 4

Zoombini's is a good logic game.

Another one that is unbelievably good is

The incredible toon machine.

It develops logic, creativity, spatial relations...all in a Rube Goldberg meets Tom & Jerry set up.

But, like others said, there are many factors. Games can help some, computers make rote exercises more efficient...but sums may not be her thing.
And reading books is better than staring at a computer screen. (Easiesr on the eyes.)

Answer 5

There are some computer games that are designed to be educational, but I really wouldn't recomend them...computers really aren't good for anybody, especially kids, and if you really want your girl to be smart get her books, books, and more books. They will also build up her imagination, which in turn will help her imaging a math problem in her head without having to actually SEE it look some people do (I tend to be that way, I have a hard time figuring out what things are unless I see them)

Music lessons are a great way of expanding your mathimatics without you even realizing its doing it to you!!

Answer 6

Computer games will not make your child smart, but music lessons will! There are numerous studies done on the subject, and there is a skill learned with music. There is no skill increase with computer games, in fact, there is evidence that it could make your child lose intelligence.

Computer games have a certain addicting quality--you feel annoyed when you are done playing and want to keep on.

Music, and listening to the music of Bach, Mozart and other
Baroque/Classical composers is very good for you--
happy listening!

There have been studies that show that math abilities increase with the study of a musical instrument. (Which makes sense, since music and math are both very logical activities--they train the brain.)

(You can listen to these on your computer!)

Answer 7

The question to ask about Love is how a lot love is healthful? i have for my section considered childrens transforming into egocentric and spoilt (over-wise?) adults even as doting mothers and fathers bypass on showering them with 'unconditional' and 'uninterrupted' love. It does everybody in touch extra harm than sturdy and makes them depending (crippled) and annoying! even as taken in correct spirit, (some) hate can make someone aggressive and effectual. thoughts might want to be like poisons. mandatory for particular situations...

Answer 8

Jumpstart makes some good kid's games

Answer 9

None.

You should teach them, you wanted the job, you got it.

The worst thing you can do when homeschooling is to sit that kid in front of TV or computer to play games.

If you can't do the job, then the public schools will do it, and do it well.

Answer 10

game will never make your child smarter.you can use the programs those help your child to think and from those your child can get sth
