According to psychologist John Protzko, kids that get early exposure to educational resources will gain a higher level of IQ and give them a leg up on their peers. The idea is to have early exposure to maths and make learning fun and memorable. Having a good maths program can engage children with dialogue, probing questions, props, games and a healthy dose of encouragement.
We all are created intelligent, practice makes our mind sharper.
Research shows it is possible to create a highly conducive environment for cognitive and emotional growth.
When I was young my father used to ask me some smart questions like; I have 100 rupees but I want to give you 175 rupees so that you can buy your favorite candy how much rupees should you take from your mother? and then I used to answer my father.
When I turned 16 my mother used to play online games with me to increase my IQ. In 12th grade, I applied to PAF for entry test, around 120 people were there almost everyone got failed an IQ test but I cleared with flying colors. Because I was given such an environment at home.
A child surrounded by books and educational toys will leave a positive imprint on their brain, which will follow through into their late teens.
Demonstrate concepts of numbers as I already discussed, “You have three candies, I’ll give you two more, now you’ll have five” or “Dinner will be ready in five minutes”. Not only does this train their cognitive skills, but it also builds your child’s problem-solving and language skills.
Color is something that gets through this filter especially well. Have your children use colored pens color code notes or words to emphasize high importance. You can have a picture of a traffic light on the wall and he can use green, orange, and red in order of importance – like the traffic light.
And always remember to appreciate your children on little things!
