A New Year is here for parents to become smarter in order to raise smarter kids. At the risk of repeating what I have written in previous years, I am again suggesting the following ideas for you to use to make your kids smarter.
1. Ensure they get plenty of sleep. 2. Exercise with them--walk, run, bend, stretch. 3. Avoid processed food. 4. SHOW AND TELL your children you love them. 5. Talk to your children. Ask and answer questions or help them find answers. 6. Encourage their handwriting skills. Cursive is still needed in the computer age. 7. Play video and computer games with them so you are familiar with content. 8. Play WITH your kids. Pretend, imagine, wonder. Sing songs together. 9. Read to your children of all ages every day, even five minutes. 10. Explore with your children--places, things, cultures, food. REMEMBER FAMILIES ARE NATURE'S MASTERPIECES; PARENTS ARE THE PAINTERS. BRINGING UP A FAMILY SHOULD BE AN ADVENTURE--WITH LOVE.
