children's intelligence

maybe we can use Dermatoglyphics multiple intelligence as an option. Primagama provide this kind of intelligence test at a cost of Rp1 million. This test scans the ten fingerprints and then matched it with their database and produce a report based on that. Lots of people say that this method is pretty accurate, including Tantowi Yahya. But, it is up to us to use it or not. And we can consult to a psychologist for the whole thing.

Hi indahfth, Personally the IQ testing will only tell you the level of intelligence your child is. It will not help to improve outside of telling you that he needs or does not need further help. The best way is to provide a lot of encouragement, boost his self esteem and continue to make him feel good about himself. If he can feel good that he is trying and that no matter what he will be loved. That if he fails at anything let it be because he tried and not because he did not care. Assist him to self motivate himself and I find that he will be willing to accept that he can learn at a slower pace but can succeed well at his pace. This will help him to understand that although he learns at a slower pace that he accept that he can do anything he puts his mind to.

I was never what you call an intelligent child but sometimes that is not everything, my parents taught me commonsense and to be a good person, be proud of your child no matter what... learning comes at different ages, I just could not learn when I was young, but in my twenties i had a yearning to learn and did adult classes, the time was right for me... teach your children to be good people and love them, please don't show you are disappointed in any way....just love them and maybe teach them a little at home as well..

I really don’t understand what exactly you mean by smart kids. Let me describe my son to you…he’s 11 yrs old, talk continuously on any and every topic, knows a lot more from TV and friends, is very computer savvy, loves the net and video games, enjoys going to school, is very responsive in class, most teachers think he’s an intelligent boy and I know that too BUT… ask him anything suddenly and he takes time to respond. Tell him to study with concentration and he just cant do it. He makes mistakes continuously and as a result, never have got good grades in class. He has friends who study a lot more and does much better results with good grades but I know that my son will never be able to do that…studying for long hours with unwavering concentration is not his cup of tea AND I don’t want to impose that on him. I take care that he doesn’t lag behind a lot or that his results are OK, average but have never pressurized him to do better. Maybe you son too is like my son… its now upto you whether you want to pressurize him to do better or just let him be with gentle guidance so that he doesn’t go astray.

Hello my friend, that's the common wish of any parents to their children. In your case try to find out where or what categories your child excel. Children has different talent that they can easily perform compare to others. Find out what is it that in your child that not on the other children, discover and support it. Best way to discover it and help her/him to excel during summer time. Enroll him/her at any summer school. Thanks my friend... Mobhomeir here..

One thing to do is never compare your children to other children because yours is as especial as mine and we are always proud of them. Every child has some talents and it is we at time who need to discover them. My hobby is do paintings and one day I found my boy stealing my colors in my painting room and a paper to draw. What I did next to to encourage him and hang his painting in the hall. He is so happy that he continue to draw. His father play guitar as a hobby when seeing that he wanted to play too so we bought him a violin to learn. So this is to tell you that we do not need to search for academic intelligence everytime in a child but he can have many other qualities too.

Everyone is different and everyone develops at different times. Not everyone was meant to be an Albert Einstein. I'm sure your son has his own talents you should look into developing what he does have instead of trying to make him something he can't be. Find out what his interests and likes are and focus on that.

indahfth do not tell your child how you feel about his or her intelligence as that will crush your child Just feed your l,ttle one a good diet with plenty of veggies a nd fruit and lean meat like chicken and fish. also nourish a love of reading as that is so important to nourish intellect and answer all your little one's questions. introduce your child to the public library and help him or her to look up answers to his or her questions. brightness is not something you can just give to a child in a pill or a liquid, it will come with your help by fostering his or her needs to know about all this new world around him or her. You can of c ourse get an IQ test but please you sound like you are disappointed in your child so for heavens sakes do not let your child know that at all. that will not help him or her to measure up to your desires. I know as my dad always made me feel like I was stupid and only when I was in senior high school did I discover I had a iQ of 140 which was actaully higher than my dad's. I never did really hear him say I am proud of you so I had to tell myself I was proud of me. my husband taught me that I was indeed very intelligent. so dont do that to your precious little one.

Yes, there are tests which supposedly determine a child's intelligence quotient (IQ). However, I wouldn't put much faith in them. There are too many factors that affects how a child tests, how the child feels that day, how he feels about the tests, his background, etc. Should you have him tested, what would you do with the information? Would it change your attitude toward him?

The difference between making your son to be like other kids and developing your child's intelligence are two very different things. Developing it is helping it to grow. Nurturing it and quizing it with normal day to day thing that will help his grow in confidence and intelligence. Trying to make him like other kids is sort of sad because your child is an idividual. He may not be as smart as these other kids. I used to get the little booklets they have in the stores with number exercises and things to help a child learn in their age group. They were very helpful. There are also some in the dollar stores and such that are thick puzzle books and they are helpful as well. If you have your child spell words appropriate for his age and do some short math problems. These both help.

I think its better if you take your child to psychologist to determine the problem and find what your kid really good at. I personally think every child is unique they have their own talent on certain subject. So don't worry to much. I think this day there are so many test to determine your kid interest and talent. Just don't compare your kids with others its will made him has low self confident. Don't made him like others kid but teach him show the best of him. I think you need to teach your child how to survive in this world. I think IQ test important but EQ also important. I think psychologist can explain it to you.

Conduct some professionals. Start with the class teacher. being less intelligent is not his fault. Be careful not to hurt his feelings. My daughter is basically intelligent. Suddenly she has started to take poor marks. I notice she always bring back the breakfast home, as she don't like it. so I have started to give money to buy her favorite breakfast. Now again she is getting good marks. try to find out the reason. If you feel that it is from birth please don't give much stress to him. we teachers never use the work less intelligent. We always say slow learners Give him enough time to solve a problem. and give him much easy interesting exercises. Practice is always good.

Sometimes children can show their intelligence at an early age, but some do not show until later. It depends on their social environment, if children are brought up in an environment where they can quickly make use of their inteliigence, they can, for instance, parents who provide toys, educational materials to their children etc can show their potential right there. Others who do not have access to such will eventually show when they are properly guided and exposed to such or are given opportunity to use their intelligence. We have to have patience in our children, and I believe you too can do that with your children.

Studies after studies are showing that learning music can make kids smart. When your child learns to play a musical instument, not only does he learn how to make tunes, but he also enhances other capabilities of his brain as well.

I always believe good food can boost the brain. Even if a kid is not that too brainy, with proper food and guidance I see no reason why a kid can't excel in school. Fish is good for the brain.

IQ test cant really measure true intelligence depending on your opinion of what intelligence is I dont really believe in those Test for many reasons I believe true intelligence cant be measured with a test of IQ I never took one of those test As a child I was not book smart or a perfect student, in fact school was very dificult for me I did not learn things as quickly as others, but I excelled in art and other artistic related things in fact I was in the paper for my creativity and I've often been told that when I speak in person that I'm articulate, speaker. I think a persons ability to make good life choices and become a contributing member of society is the mark of true intelligence I know of a few people who have had IQ test and had tested highly yet they cant make smart life choices and haven't been able to live a stable life they pest there IQ test with a high score but there lives are in shambles, my point is those IQ test are meaningless in my opnion, whats the point of having a big IQ on paper if you cant hevent pass the biggest test of all, the test of life.

do you know about the program in Frisian Flag? they have a program called hand written- not hand writing. they try to read the potential in every kids. maybe you can dig the information by its site.

ya.. me too. sometimes i feel that way too but i know that every children have their own potention. i just try to let my kids to find it and i just give the way.
