A Two-Year-Old Genius
Recently, I watched a two-year-old genius solve incredible mathematics problems on TikTok. The kid is so good that he has millions of followers, and some of his posts have millions of views and thousands of comments. I checked the comments, and one that caught my attention was a lady asking how to train her kid to be as good as the two-year-old genius.
Can any kid be Trained to Become a Genius?
Absolutely. Research in parenting and early child development shows that every child is born with the potential to be a genius. While some children may have a head start due to their genetic makeup, the right mental development can unlock the genius in every child.
Unfortunately, many kids do not gain enough intellectual development to become geniuses. Parents play a crucial role in this journey. By understanding and implementing the right tips, parents can empower their children to become brilliant both in childhood and adulthood.
Vital Parenting Tips to Trigger Your Kid’s Brain Development
- Parents should start reading children’s books to their kids daily before they turn one. When kids turn three, they should be encouraged to read a simple children’s book daily and progress to more challenging ones as they grow and read better. This early engagement is a proactive step that can significantly impact a child’s intellectual development, sparking their creativity and imagination and fostering a love for reading, making it easier for them to learn other subjects.
- Engaging kids in dialogue from the moment they are born and making efforts to understand them triggers ample intellectual development in them. When kids know their parents make efforts to understand them, they speak clearly. Such kids also develop language skills and have more significant brain activity and verbal attitudes.
- Teaching children mathematics in their early years helps develop their cognitive abilities in problem-solving, creative reasoning, deductive reasoning, and inductive thinking. It also guarantees their future success in mathematics and, in some cases, reading (Duncan et al., 2007).
- Attending a music lesson or listening to music frequently helps kids boost their concentration, memory, and learning ability and experience faster brain development.
- Feeding a kid enough animal protein, such as meat, fish, and eggs, helps improve their reasoning and concentration. Further, carbohydrate diets like whole grains help energise a child’s reasoning.
Every parent should take parenting seriously. How a child is trained in their early years determines what they can be in the future (Proverbs 22:6) and affects whether their relationships and marriages will be blissful.
