6 Things How Super Parents Raise And Unleash Smart, Healthy, Happy Baby
Genius
Here are six key concepts which can make a substantial impact on how you interact
with your child from the earliest moments of life.
Concept #1. Start Early
The infant brain develops rapidly from the earliest moments of life. Learning can and
does begin as early as prenatalwhile the child is still in the womb.
If you are pregnant, then start talking to your baby and play classical music and
foreign languages for him.
Concept #2. Make Connections
Brain circuitry develops and grows through connecting cells with information links.
The more information links, the more learning capacity.
During the first three years, the creative, highly photographic, sensitive brain is wide
open to impressions of all kinds. The brain quickly scans, catalogs and links all new
information to the stored images where an association can be found. Connections
(synapses) are formed at supersonic speed supplying and further fortifying wonder
and curiosity in the mind of a child.
Teach your child through as many senses as possible using flashcards, classical
music, world languages, sensorial toys and games.
Concept #3. Use Quality Stimulation Now (Flashcards, Music and Languages)
The rate of brain regeneration and growth decreases after an infant has reached about
12 months of age. Any cells that are not used will gradually, naturally die off. Overall
neurological capacity is determined at a very early stage in life.
University of Chicago neurobiologist Peter Huttenlocher discovered critical
information about brain growth. His research showed just how fast the early brain
grows. A 28-week-old fetal brain tissue sample showed 124 million brain
connections. A newborn brain tissue had 253 million connections, and an eightmonth-old infant had 572 million.
"But the growth of the number of connections, Huttenlocher soon learned, slowed
down by the end of the first year and stabilized at about 354 million per tissue sample.
He says, 'It was strange... The number of connections kept going up and up and then
they started to go down.'
"His research proved that the fetal brain overproduces cells and that unless they find a
connection or a 'job' to do in the body, they die off. He says that under stimulation and
lack of interaction with the outside world causes the cell death. The future number of
brain cells could vary by as much as 25% depending on the quality and quantity of
enrichment offered to the learner."

Concept #4. Teach Both Brains
The brain is divided laterally into two hemispheresand although they are designed
to work together, each has a vastly unique personality and abilities.
Drs. Robert Ornstein and Roger Sperrys split-brain research revealed that we have
two distinctly different brains: the right and the left. The left side of the brain
processes linear, concrete factual information and is key in language and logic. The
right side of the brain processes random, creative, intuitive, multi-sensorial images.
Each side of the brain exhibits certain characteristics:
Left Brain Characteristics Right Brain Characteristics
Conscious awareness Subconscious awareness
Logical thought Abstract thought
Short term memory Long term memory
Slow input Fast input
Linear, sequential, reason Creative, imaginative
Relies on physical senses Relies on intuition
sight, sound, taste, touch, smell resonance with frequencies
Subsequent studies have revealed that each hemisphere contains some of the abilities
of the other side. Modern education addresses left-brain development. Now we
know that when the right hemisphere is developed, the entire brain is activated and all
areas of mental performance improve.
Your child needs to effectively utilize and involve both hemispheres in learning
with fast, playful input (right brain) and logic (left brain).
Concept #5. : Maximize the Right Brain Window
The outer cortex of the brain develops from right to left, providing a window of time
where an infant is primarily functioning with the right hemisphere.
The brain, like every other organ in the human body, develops and grows at an
astounding rate from the moment of conception. The brain develops up from the stem
to midbrain to the outer cortex, or cerebrum. As the neocortex develops, the midbrain
links to the right hemisphere first and does not begin to link to left brain conscious
thought until the child is about age two. This period of development is what we refer
to as the Right Brain Windowthere is no left brain interference or filter of
incoming information. This means that the right brain is WIDE OPEN for learning
input.
After age three, children begin to actively shift to the logical left hemisphere of the
brain. At this point, if the right hemisphere is left unchallenged or unusedor if a
child is in a predominately left-brain learning environmentthen the left hemisphere

will dominate.
Give your child as many flashcards and other types of high-quality input as
possible during the 0-3 year period. Afterwards, keep the right brain open with playful
right brain games.
Concept #6. : Be Happy!
The brain is sensitive to subtle frequencies: light waves, sound, thought and emotion.
The left brain works with tangible facts taken in through the outer sensessight,
sound, taste, touch and smell. The right brain recognizes the subtle wave frequencies
of light, sound, thought, emotion and magnetism that is not always apparent to the
outer senses. The abilities of the right brain are fully explainable when understood
within the context of frequency. Light, sound, emotion and thought all travel in
waves. These frequencies are utilized in right brain education.
Teach to all of your childs senses, including through emotion and thought. Learn
how to center your emotional states to reflect peace, calm and love toward the
children in your care.
Right Brain education potentially unlock your child potential to have photographic
memory, speed reading, multiple language acquisition, computer like math
calculation, perfect pitch music, intuition, creativity, invention and advance 3D
visualization. Every child born with genius
Rules Enforcement at Home - The United Parental Front
Though Children may gripe and complain and get upset when you become the
enforcer, they realize deep down that this shows you love them enough to care about
their behavior. Believe it or not, you and your mate are their role models, not the
latest music or movie star. The rules of conduct you set and enforce, if reasonable,
make your child feel loved, safe, and secure.
Its never easy developing and introducing rules. Many busy parents avoid setting
rules because they already have enough stress at work and they just cannot handle
more at home. Confrontation and unpleasantness bring additional stress which can
make for screaming matches, not only between parent and child but also between
parents who are not in agreement about child discipline.
Take heart. The uncomfortable stuff isn't necessarily a reflection on your relationship
with your child, it's just the nature of adolescence breaking rules and pushing
limits is a part of growing up. Make no mistake, you cannot be your childs best
friend because, when you are laying down the law, it's an impossible position to be in.
Friends don't ordinarily discipline friends, do they? No, your primary role is to
protect, nurture and provide for your children and this includes you and your mate
standing tough together.
Children will try to divide and conquer to avoid punishment. They will try to
manipulate one parent against another, even resorting to lies and exaggeration. You

and your mate need to agree in front of your children even if you disagree in private.
Your children cannot know where you are vulnerable. They will play to your
weakness.
When your kids break the rules, be careful to not overreact with harsh,
disproportionate and unenforceable punishment, which undermines the effectiveness
of setting rules. Instead, when you first tell your child about a new rule, discuss the
consequences of breaking that rule what the punishment will be and how it will be
carried out.
Consequences must go hand in hand with limits so that your child knows what the
cost of breaking the rules will be. The punishment you set should be reasonable and
equal to the violation. For example, if you catch your son and his friends smoking,
you might "ground" him by restricting his social activities for two weeks. It's also
extremely important that you consistently enforce the rules you have laid down. You
cannot allow any infraction to pass unpunished.
When we have our grand kids for the day, they know our rules and the result of
breaking them. They know that "good girls get to do fun things and bad girls go right
home to their parents.
Once, they were arguing in the back seat as we were headed to the Zoo for the day. I
simply said - "Girls, apologize to each other or I'm taking you right home." They
refused and I turned the car around and headed for their home. They whined, crossed
arms in protest, yet, another mile down the road they apologized to each other. They
knew that grandpa and grandma were not going to tolerate bad behavior. I turned the
car around and we had a great time for the rest of the day at the Zoo. It does work.
My wife thought I was being a bit too tough but she supported me 100% and we got
the expected good results. We had two happy and well-behaved girls for the rest of
the day.
I could have still taken them home. They broke a rule. But, rewards for good behavior
must also be a part of your rules. When they are good, give them something good.
Don't have the attitude that good behavior is something that is expected and does not
deserve some kind of tangible benefit. That is unreasonable. The girls learned that by
quickly apologizing they were rewarded.
Punishments should only involve penalties you discussed with your children in
advance. Never make empty threats. Always carry out the punishment that fits the
infraction.
It's understandable that you'll be angry when house rules are broken, and sharing your
feelings of anger, disappointment, or sadness can have a powerfully motivating effect
on your child. Anger, however, is a negative motivation and is not good parenting.
Since we're all more inclined to say things we don't mean when we're upset, its
sometimes best to give ourselves a time-out period to cool off before we say
something we dont mean. Children are quick to adopt our behavior so hold your
temper. Have a firm, calm, demeanor as you enforce the rules. Above all, keep to the

rules-punishment-reward equation. Never allow them to escape whatever punishment

that fits the infraction and reward them when they do something right that they used
to do wrong.
To make the ground rules crystal clear to your child, discuss them in some detail as if
you were talking to another adult. Kids aren't stupid. They have a greater level of
understanding than you might believe.
While its imperative that you are consistent and follow through with a defined
disciplinary action after each infraction, it's equally important that your child
thoroughly understands the reasons why. This understanding comes from taking the
time to explain everything in detail. Saying - "Because I said so!" just doesn't cut it.
Your kids need more from you than that. That's simply lazy parenting. They need
more from you than dictatorial statements.
If you and your mate are not presenting a United Parental Front, I guarantee your
children will become more and more uncontrollable. The earlier you can nip bad
behavior in the bud, the better for every member of the family unit, especially, you!
Become Listening Parents
Life can be bitter-sweet. One moment I am grieving the loss of a loved one and the
next minute I am praising God for the loved ones in my life; especially my
childrenwhich had me wondering how I could make sure my children knew just
how much I loved them and treasured our times together.
Get too mushy and your teen will head for the door. Stay standoffish and hell never
get the message. There has to be a happy medium, I thought to myself. But what
could it be? Then God smacked me right in the face. The answer was easy. Be a
good listener!
Its ironic how God knows just what you need to hear, when you need to hear it.
Sitting in Bible study this past Sunday, our class discussed how our parents
communicated with us as children and how it impacted our lives. While there was a
vast difference in communication styles, it came down to two things: parents who
didnt engage in verbal communication left their children feeling less important than
their adult counterparts, and parents who did engage in verbal communication left
their children feeling important, valued, and worthy of their parents time.
But what was good communication and how do we, as parents, achieve that role?
We start by opening our hearts to the Lord and allow His presence to fill us as we
put aside daily distractions and enthusiastically engage in real conversations with
our children.
But engaging in conversation means we have to really listen to what the other
person has to say. In this case, we have to let down some of our parental walls and
give our children a chance to open up.
And we can do this by:
1. reminding ourselves that our children are not an extension of ourselves;

2. not minimizing their feelings about a situation;

3. remaining non-judgmental;
4. being slow to respond and really hearing the whole story;.
5. not interrogating our children; and
6. not reading too much into what is being said.
Listening takes effort. It also takes energy, flexibility, and time. Arent our children
worth far more than an hour in front of the television?
I challenge each of us to step out of our comfort zones, and learn to be effective
listeners and communicators with our children.
Children and the Potential Harmful Effects of Television
Since the dawn of television, children have found this an enjoyable and interactive
pastime. Visual stimulation is preferred by children in comparison to any other media,
and current figures report than children watch an average of four hours of television a
day. These figures are much larger than they were almost half a century ago, but
changes in lifestyle and technological advances make this inevitable. However, many
people question how television is affecting the lives of modern children.
Children`s television programmes began in the 1950s. By 1951 television showed up
to 27 hours per week of television programmes aimed at children. The usual time slot
was late afternoon and evening with programmes aimed at shorter viewing periods. In
the mid 50s the Saturday morning television programme slot was discovered, and
since then has long since been kept for children`s viewing. The 1960s saw a switch to
animation based television programmes which were cheaper to produce. The lower
the cost; the more could be produce and children`s television gained more viewing
slots. In the 1970s programmes were made longer to increase viewing figures and in
the 80s cable television arrived. This enriched and widened the scope for the
provision for children and dedicated television channels were aired.
As the industry grew, so did the concern for the effects of watching television on
children. The children`s television act arrived in the 1990s, requiring high levels of
research and monitoring in that area. The main concerns centred around health,
academic progress and the effects of violence on television. The first testimonial
involving the effects of violence on television on juvenile behaviour was brought
about in the US as early as 1952. The effects of violence on television have been
studied since 1964 when it was officially ruled that television was a factor in
children`s behaviour. The main concerns were that levels of violence would increase
through copied behaviour, with children becoming desensitised.
So, what has been determined through research with regards to children and television
violence? Two outcomes were discovered; catharsis and stimulation which are still
the leading theories in this area. Catharsis was found to remove negativity, whereas
the stimulation effect increased violent emotions with the latter showing to be the
most likely outcome. There is a proven small and consistent link between viewing
violence and increased aggression. However, the results were highest amongst
children witnessing violence at home rather than non television.

Other studies showed that there are definite cognitive effects when children watch
television as they are stimulated by visual movement. This includes the movement of
colour, camera angles, and panoramic views. Television aimed at children takes this
into account and this is why children seem transfixed. Research shows, however, that
attention to the television is in fact fragmentary before the age of two, but it steadily
increases until attention peaks at the age of 12 years. The understanding of many
concepts is lost until aged 10 in the average child as there is too much information to
comprehend and so concentration depends upon pure enjoyment.
In terms of health, the main problem is obesity through a lack of exercise, and so
television has been blamed for this in part. This is because watching television
distracts the receptors in the brain which let the child know when they are full.
However, there is no research to state that this has any more effect than general family
eating habits. Television is like any other factor in life; it can have positive effects in
moderation. There are no suggested guidelines for television viewing, and so it is
down to personal and family choice.
If you have concerns about the effects upon your child, the best advice is to look at
family attitudes towards television. This includes the amount of time spent watching
television, the type of programmes viewed and even comments made. It is possible to
limit the type of programmes viewed, and to reduce the time spent watching by
offering it as a reward system. To improve educational elements, discuss issues raised
with honesty and interest and your child will be encouraged towards this type of
programme.

Let the Teens Manage Their Money

One of the reasons why teens love to work is that they want to have their own
income. Teens want to have discretionary funds they can use without their parents
poking at them and auditing all their cents. If the parents would let their teenagers
manage their own money, they should be ready to give them advises on money
management such as budgeting and fund management. In this way, they can be sure
that their teens will not just squander their money on less important things.
The following may help the teens manage their money:
Teach the teens to save
Encourage the teens to open a savings account to deposit their earnings. Even just a
few dollars a week will be good enough. If their parents are giving them allowances,
they can talk to them and ask them to set aside some dollars in the bank. When the
time comes that they need to withdraw, they will be amazed to see how much
money they have saved.
Teens must spend wisely
The biggest nightmare among the teens is to wake up with nothing to spend, yet the
next allowance is still a few days away. They will be forced to borrow and this will
only add more problems. Spending wisely is a must especially to those with tight
budget. If the school is just a walking distance, they should be happy to take a walk
and enjoy that needed exercise. Need to go dating? Why not ask their crushes to

have a chat with them in the park, this way they dont need to spend much. A can of
soda could do the trick.
Introduce the teens to fund management
There are many plans of fund management that are available to teens. With a few
dollars, the teens can have the opportunity to increase their money under the
watchful eyes of money experts. This will also add pride to the teens for having
invested money like what the grownups did. In addition, requiring them to pay taxes
out of their investment will make the teens contributors to the national coffers.
Get a checking account
Getting a checking account will teach the teens some financial responsibility. Just
imagine the teens issuing some checks for their purchases and or services they
acquired. Knowing that a bouncing check would have legal repercussions, the teens
will be extra careful in handling their finances.
Let them get credit cards
The feel in getting credit cards nowadays is greatly different as compared many
years ago. Before, a person is jubilant when his application is approved because it
proves that he is credit worthy. Today, credit card offers are numerous that it will
make the eyes bulge. The teens must be extra cautious on the type of cards they will
apply. The benefits are vaguely explained in the ads or in the emails when credit
card companies promote these cards. Most often, actual charges and interest rates
are hidden, only to make the teens sorry for just freely making purchases. Credit
cards are there to allow the teens to purchase, but they have to purchase only those
things that are needed. They must avoid being compulsive buyers.
Parents have a lot to explain to their teens about money management. No matter
what the teens want, the parents are in the best position to tell what is best for their
teenagers. Just remember that the parents could contribute much to the success or
failure of their teens. Let the teens manage their money and make them real money
managers.
Are You Giving Your Child The Edge At School?
Today the pressure to succeed at school begins even earlier than ever. Children in
kindergarten and first grade are held to a standard of success that their parents never
had to worry about. While in the past those first few years of schooling were pressure
free and simply intended to introduce children to formal education, today children are
tested on their knowledge and ability within the first weeks of kindergarten and that
testing continues throughout the rest of their public school education. This places an
enormous pressure on young children and yet many parents are not doing everything
they can to give their child the edge and help them succeed at school. Giving your
child the edge does not mean hiring a tutor, buying an expensive educational program,
or spending hours every day drilling your child. There are several simple steps every
parent can take to give their child the edge at school.
First, make sure your child has enough sleep the night before. Many parents do not
send their children to bed until they themselves go to bed. Growing children need
between 10-12 hours of sleep a night. While there are a few children who seem to

require less, the majority of children need at least this much. If your child appears
tired, is difficult to wake in the morning, or has circles under her eyes then you should
move her bedtime up until you find the magic number that gives her the rest she
needs. If she is tired and lacking energy then it is much more difficult for her to learn
and pay attention at school.
Second, make sure your child has a good breakfast and is provided with a good lunch
and snack. Growing children need to eat frequently. They should never be sent to
school on any empty stomach and they should not be expected to succeed at school
for an entire day without regular meals and snacks. If you are concerned about your
child's weight simply cutting back on the amount of meals and food is not a good
choice. Instead, try to provide healthy snacks. That should be your goal even if weight
is not a concern. Sugary snacks and empty calories are not much more helpful than no
food at all when it comes to helping a child keep focused and energized throughout
the day.
Fourth, make sure your child is appropriately dressed for the day and their school
environment. When the weather is hot make sure they are dressed in cool clothing,
when the weather is cold make sure they are dressed in warm clothing. When the
weather or school environment is changeable then provide layers so the child can
adjust accordingly. Also make sure the clothing is something the child can manage
themselves. Many bathroom accidents occur among young children who have trouble
with their clothing and the worry about this can provide a further distraction.
Fifth, project the right attitude toward school and your child's education. If you send
the message that school is not important, that the teacher is not worthy of respect, and
that your child's learning is not essential then your child will receive that message
loud and clear. As early as kindergarten and first grade some children decide to give
up on school. Make sure that does not happen to your child by projecting a positive
attitude toward school and education.
Sixth, get involved. Know your child's teachers and school administration. Be familiar
with their classroom, routine, special events, and assignments. The more you know
about your child's school life then the more proactive you can be to head off potential
problems and help them succeed in school.
If you make sure your child has adequate sleep, sufficient food, and appropriate
clothing while you project the right attitude and get involved in their education then
you have done everything you can to give your child an edge on success.
