The key to raising a smart child is helping him or her reach their full potential. The brain of your child does not automatically develop with age. It is derived from experience and mental exercise. The senses of sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell stimulate the brain's synapses, which multiply into trillions. Your child will be smarter if these connections are complex.
You can hasten the brain development of your child by giving him early stimulation and a variety of experiences. The brain development of your child is also dynamic. It doesn't remain motionless. Either it's developing or it's degenerating. Brain development advances when a child's skills and talents are being utilized. When they are not being used, the neural connections are lost, and brain growth regresses. An "unstimulated" gifted child has more to lose in this regard.
How your child interacts with others, how he manages his emotions, how well he performs in school, the kinds of relationships he forges, and even the kind of parent he will become are all shaped by his early experiences. Because of this, how you support your child's intellectual growth will have an impact on him as an adult.
