10 keys to Developing Your Childs Genius
Would you like your child to be the best that he can be - toachieve his maximum potential? Imagine how successful yourchild can be with a brilliant mind, lightening fast learningskills, an accurate, lasting memory, creativity and problemsolving skills of a genius. Here are 10 keys to developing yourchild's genius. 1. When Should I Start? Start immediately. Do you have a newborn? Excellent time tostart. Do you have a teenager? It is not too late! There aremany things you can teach your teenager, that will increase hischances of success in life, as well as improve your relationshipwith him. Many of these things are never taught in school! 2. Make it Fun Learning is fun! If you observe little children at play, youwill notice that by playing, they are actually performingresearch of the toy they are playing with. When they feel thatthey have learned all that they can learn from the toy, theytoss it aside and look for a new one. If you make learning fun ,your child will develop the love of learning. 3. You Are Your Child's Natural Teacher As a parent, you are your child's natural teacher. No matter howmany teachers your child has in school or outside of school, youare his first and most important teacher. Your child learns fromyou the most important things in life. Make sure to takeadvantage of this fact to teach your child important lessons. 4. Don't Keep Your Child Behind We all underestimate the ability of children to learn. A newborncannot speak yet, so we don't know how much and how fast he canlearn. Young children are dependant on us to provide thelearning materials to them. It is important to realize, that achild learns a language in his first year of life! This is ahuge achievement, as everyone who has tried to learn a secondlanguage knows. At the time a child starts speaking, single words at first andthen whole sentences, he already understands a vast majority ofthings that are said to him. His mastery of the language isalready much better than he can demonstrate by talking. At the core of this incredible ability to learn a language, isthe skill of pattern recognition. This skill is also importantin reading, music and many other areas.It is wise to takeadvantage of this incredible skill to teach the young child asmuch as we can. 5. Let Your Child Lead the Way Children are interested in different subjects at differentperiods of time. Expose your child to many subjects, and letyour child show you what he enjoys most, what he is interestedin most. Then you can explore and research that particularsubject. It is much easier to teach your child a subject that heis interested in, that one that he is not. When you are "working" with your child on the subject of hischoice, you can relate many other subjects to it. For examply,if your child is interested in trains, you can study about thehistory of trains, about the physics of trains and how theyfunction, geography - study a map and look at train tracks indifferent geographical areas, Mathematics - related to trains,and much more. 6. Children Hate to be Tested When you explore and research with your child, or teach him asubject, never test him to find out if he learned. Trust that heis learning, and keep going. You don't have to worry whether yourchild is learning or not, the only thing you have to worry aboutis whether you are able to keep his interest. As long as he isinterested - he is learning! 7. Children Learn Fast Children learn so much faster than we think. If you don't movefast enough, you lose your child's interest. Teaching too slowlyand repetition create bordom, and bordom is the enemy oflearning. Again - let your child lead the way. If your child is ready tomove to a new subject or a new concept - follow his lead. 8. Confidence and Self Esteem Confidence and self esteem are most important to your child'ssuccess. As you know, even the most talented, intelligentperson, if he doesn't believe in himself, will never attempt totake on a challenging assignment or a challenging position. Thiscan be hazardous to his career and success. Praise your child often. Honest and sincere praise will dowonders for your child's confidence. Never criticize. Make it ahabit at the end of the day, before your child goes to bed, toreview his achievements and successes. Notice even the smallestthings! 9. Goal Setting Teach your child to set goals early on. No matter what yourchild's age, you can start the day talking about the plan forthe day, and the goals you would like to achieve that day. Whenyour child is ready, you can start setting weekly goals, monthlygoals and yearly goals. Make a plan to achieve these goals, andmake sure your child knows that the plan is flexible and canchange. 10. It's OK to Make Mistakes Make sure your child knows that it's OK to make mistakes.Mistakes are learning opportunities, they are feedback aboutwhat works and what doesn't. You will never make mistakes if younever attempt to try and achieve anything. This realization leadsto a stronger confidence. As a parent, you have the ability to contribute to your child'sfuture, to help your child achieve his maximum potential. Butdon't wait! The earlier you start - the better your child'schance to achieve brilliance and explosive success.
