A Nutty Mom

No parent wants their child to fail. You see everywhere: overzealous father barking their support at a Little League game, tired mothers working two jobs to put three kids through college, stickers proudly stating that – yes – my daughter is a student Honor Roll! But many parents, whether they are new to parenting or a seasoned veteran, remains almost clueless about simple steps that can be done to raise a child are basically intelligent.

Did you know you can start to improve a little go-getter even before he was born? pregnant women to increase their child’s brain size to avoid teratogens (tobacco, alcohol, etc.), folic acid supplements, maintaining a healthy diet, and reduce stress. Then after the baby is born, the mother can dramatically promote his / her brain development and further intelligence with breastfeeding. Only about 13% of mothers breast-feed in America, but the other 87% is lost in giving their child the best gift one could ever possibly offer – natural breast milk, which contains nutrients and antibodies you can not really do not find elsewhere. Research supports this benefit.

As your baby reaches childhood, you can promote intelligence by providing a stimulating intellectual environment. This includes books have in your home, read to your child regularly, and talk to him constantly. This conversation should be cooked along with the child, and once they reach adolescence, began to openly discuss the issues more deeply and encourage them to assess their views on civil rights, politics, media, etc. In terms of nutrition, you should moderate your child’s intake of sugar and high fructose corn syrup, and alert to the school cafeteria food, which is often less than ideal. High protein breakfast before going to class is a must.

And perhaps the best thing you can do as parents is to stay actively involved in your child’s intellectual growth – to compete with what they learned and how they are doing. This shows them that you not only care, but you’re very concerned with education!
