How to Stimulate your Child’s Intelligence

Posted By: vie on January 20, 2010 at 2:21 am

The answer is Learning. Learning is the most effective way to stimulate child’s intelligence. The best period to stimulate child’s intelligence is during their childhood. Early stimulation starts from babies for their benefits of physical and mental development. Simple play or interaction with your baby not only develop a bonding between parents and baby but encourage a baby to explore, discover and learn.

The first 7 years of child’s life is crucial and this is the reason why preschool makes Learning Fun for children.  It is also a note for parents to choose kindergarten which integrates learning through play and not mainly focus on academic skills for preparation to primary school.

The environment and the emotional need of a child also determine if the child is willing to learn. A child raised in a happy family is learning more actively and takes initiatives compared to a child in orphanage which has less stimulation from the caregivers. Praise and encouragement will push your child to bring out his best ability and build their self-esteem.

Is reading early a sign of superior intelligence? Yes, it could be. Reading is very complex process. It involves a series of skills and abilities such as intellectual skill, linguistic abilities and perception.

There is a relation about Puzzles and Intelligence. Puzzles are viewed as brain teaser or problem solving games for children to stimulate their intelligence. Puzzles can come in different forms: wooden puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, maze, crossword, sudoku, memory game and many others. Let’s take a look what the expert says about jigsawpuzzles:

Doing jigsaw puzzles develops several functions of the brain at once. Reasoning, deduction, analysis and logical thought are exercised in the completion of jigsaw puzzles, as well as physical hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness and visual perception. Jigsaw puzzles are also a fun problem to solve and kids can learn about persistence and strategy while working on the jigsaw puzzles.

Generally, a child will develop his potential if he is happy to learn. Fulfill his emotional need, provide a fun learning environment and lots of encouragement words will pave his way to be intelligent.

Thanks Shane for the comment. You’re very true that learning is the key and we have to carry on for lifetime if we want to keep our mind active.

I am very particular about the habit of the child typically from the age of 3 to 6. If the child is conditioned to “learning”, then he will continue to do that alone and gets even better at primary school for the rest of his/her life.

One good habit for them is to play child puzzles at the young age, and providing more educational books (letters, numbers, name of animals, things, etc that appears fun to learn at the same time).

I even teach chess to some child at around 5, it makes them happy to relate it to games but they are actually using their ‘head’ in the process.

One thing I should avoid is for children to be addicted to television, it is because it is too visual with no useful content and learning to convey (especially too much animation, etc), unless it well guided by parents.
