Can you train your child to be a genius or does it already have to be a part of their genes? Everyone to be successful needs practice and training.Genius are no different. To fully become the genius of their potential, extremely smart people have to receive proper support and training. They have to have a supportive family to help them without it or a good support system all but the most creative geniuses will fall by the wayside.

i believe that being a genius definitely depends on your genealogy. this is from my life experience in that some people show a lot of effort but the outcome of their effort is mediocre while others show the least bit of effort but they come up with brilliant outcomes that are not directly proportional to the effort that they put in. yes you can increase the chance of your child at being smart, but you cannot make your kid a genius if it is not in their blood .

Being a genius depends on timing and balance. You have to live in a proper time and have the proper environment to flourish. But a true genius can help create that. But you cant spend so much on your genius passion that you dont have a well rounded life also. Well rounded geniuses accomplish the most like MLK, bILL GATES, ETC. They all families and a support system.

I dont have a kid yet. People who are genious comes from different sources.. He/she maybe have a high iq, maybe he inherit from her parents or relatives or maybe he's really studying hard thats why he's so smart.. Parents can be a guide for their children. Just a step-by-step process, the child will do his part and he will be genius..

There is no set race or ethniticity that we can point to that produces geniuses. They seem to be born across national borders. Circumstances and environments certainly have as much to do with producing geniuses and does genetics. But I would not say it is an easy job for any parent to guarantee producing a genius. There are too many variables. What peer pressures will they encounter? If he started being raised in a two parent home what will happen if the parents divorce? All we can do is the best we can as parents and hope and pray that enough to raise them healthy and relatively stable and the rest is up to God.

Even in old age, to focus and learn makes us all smarter. Start to teach children to reason at a young age. They might not be a genius but they will be smarter.
