Isn’t this quite a challenge? Don’t we all want to have a smart kid? Oh, yes, we do! But how easy it is or, more precisely, what does it actually mean? Well, it is more complicated that we may think, but not at all impossible.
When we are talking about having a smart kid, we don’t usually refer to his IQ or to his level of knowledge. These aspects are rather used linked to grown-ups. When it comes to a child, everything is a matter of intuition. And this intuition is the child’s ability to surprise us in different situations, when we are puzzled by his rapid, new and smart reaction for a certain fact, or when we are bewildered by his fresh answer to a question, or by his simple and curious advice which seemed impossible for us to reach.
In order to have a smarter child, we have to stimulate his interest for everything in this world. He is always eager to find out new things. And we have to make sure that we don’t inhibit this childish and precious quality!
So what can we do? Well, we can excite his capacity of thinking, of filtering the reality or of analyzing facts and people. We must listen to our children. We must question and explain them all sorts of things. We must give them the correct answers when necessary. We must teach our children to speak properly, to be polite with every person they encounter and to be friendly and generous with other kids. These are common sense aspects, we all know them! That’s for sure!
