It is the dream of every parent to be able to raise a smart kid. Smart kids are the pride of parents. Do you know that as a parent, you can help your child become the achiever that you want him to be?
Science has taught us that genetically children get their characteristics from their parents. Those characteristics include not only a child s physical outlook but his inner attributes as well, such as intelligence, mannerisms, and other aspects which constitute the overall personality of the child. If those attributes are genetically passed from person to person, then how could a child born from parents with average intelligence become an achiever? Does this mean that only those children who have genius parents are the only ones who can become achievers?
The answer is a definite NO. Although children may get the genetic characteristics of their parents, they may or may not possess the same level of intelligence their parents have. Some children may even surpass the intelligence level of their parents or any one in their genetic line.
Parents play a great role in their child s development. At 0 year onwards, it is imperative that parents actively participate in facilitating their child s progress. One way to help accelerate your child s progress is to give him educational toys.
