Making Kids Smarter is a guide
for parents to understand how to increase the potential and learning capacity for
children. Included are various techniques, tips and pointers for turning everyday life
into a classroom, and making the learning experience enjoyable and memorable for kids. In
the process, parents gain the knowledge that they play an integral part in shaping their
children's intellectual capacity and the way they experience the world. |
Children are natural learners,
and by opening up the world of learning potential, parents can make it possible for their
children to increase their intelligence. It is important to stress that any parent can
help their child, there are numerous ways to make it possible for kids at any age.
| The notion of "IQ" is an outmoded and incomplete assessment
method for measuring "intelligence" and has very little to do with the real
world of everyday experiences a child learns and absorbs information from. Parents can
provide their child with a learning progressive environment, and children naturally will
generalize what they have learned from one experience to expand their view of the world,
and its potential. |

|
The basis of intelligence is the capacity to generalize, and build
upon what has already been learned.
