 I think that parents should use only natural ways to boost intelligence of a child as mentioned in the article. Putting too much pressure on children is bad for their development.

 The article is very nice. I have learnt that an environment in which children are raised can definitely help in improving child's intelligence.

 After reading this article I realised that it is important for parent to get involved and parents can do a lot to improve child's intelligence.

 sorry for my bad language i will try to avoid big gramatical mistakes :)) Ok i have forgat "nature vs. nurture" has many things...that is why movement and correct nutrition can increase intelligence, nature (meaning respect the body and the body will respect you, means that with movement -> sport a person can increase intelligence, that is why yoga has haves and is the king of mind development "movement designed for the nervous system, and nurture what we eat, we are...i don't need to explain this do i?...C.

 In my opinion those researches are not even slightly empirical, sorry there is a lot of error in it (only subjective study not scientific for me)... there are evidence that average I.Q. persons with Deliberate Practice(the newest discovery) have increased on a nearly genius level (genius level is a handicap like retardation because over 4% of the brain is used in intelligece in contrast to it's 96% that is critical for body function). Yes there a few intellectuals in the world but believe me those people are not even close to good I.Q. (except for some that can do benefits by chance), inventing something doesen't need a genius mind but a dream....Sorry Guys but for me Psychology may be used only in social, personality,cognition (function only) -> Behaviour on an NON-Empirical Level (because psychology is subjective not an exact science)... for cognition and human perfomance -> only neurology (biolgoy tries to approach the study of the human mind by exact explanations), including all studies from embriology to all histological deveopment. Best Regards and good luck on your researches...To be honest we do not need intelligence the average I.Q. is enough to be in top shape in all areas including being good in math, biology, languages etc...time management is secret, and thoase that move from a sayng (move slow and think fast) excell in almost everything in the world...C.

 i wanted to read your artical for all the do's and don'ts for parents towards a growing child, now that is fine but it seems you never suggested the solution in the end , but end up the artical very adruptly, write some more words.

 i totally disagree with the author in her contention that intelligence is something fixed and can't be changed at all. first of all there is nothing called one "intelligence". it is now clear that there are multiple "intelligences" and it highly dependent upon the culture in which a person grows up as to which one or many of those intelligences show up more prominently. secondly, brain is not something that comes totally preprogrammed at birth. a whole lot of learning takes place which is very fundamental in nature, which lays the foundation for all future learning, between the ages of -1 (prenatally) and 3 years. if appropriate stimulation is provided at this stage, there is really no limit to which a child can grow. my own son (now 19 months) can already speak in full sentences, can draw rudimentary pictures, sings simple tunes and so on.

 your artical is better. but problem is there were no separet to age group. because it was be different to age to age. eg. when we get yrs 1-5 age group & 5-10 age group. it was to be a different 1 by 1. because there memory capasity is different. inthat, when we improve there intelligencey.but how ever bacically your ideas better as commenly. i will hope better articals in yours' website in the future. we will improve our children's intelligency, since there baby time.

 i believe it is necessary to give much time to your children. but giving so much time is sometimes impossible. today, one needs to make money in order to live and the only way to do so is to work, away from your children. however, since my husband has a fine job, i am an at-home mom. still, though, i find it difficult to spend much time with my children, as i must scrub dishes and clean floors on my hands and feet. i must shop, cook meals, and i love to read. time is of the essence. where does it all go?
Name: maya
Country: india
 i do agree that children will learn a lot if we spent more time with them and give them good guidance. though mom likes to spent more time with the child she cannot do all the time as she has some other work to do. as mom is spending more time with the child, the child always wants her mom to sit besides her and play with her. to get the attention of her mom she starts crying or pretends as if she is crying or the child will do something to grab the attention of her mom and it is difficult for her to carry the child always. in this case what do you suggest?

 my son nine years old and my daughter five years old are very different.though both when small i gave same learning and guidance.but both intelligent in their own way.my son loves math and reading,while my daugther seems more artistic.but i and my husband think my son is more intelligent because he is always first in his school and has good memory.but still i think for my dauther it is too early to judge.

 the article was nice but no solutions were offered. in today's world it is not easy to spend so much time with our children. the kids start expecting us to sit with them all the time and will not take initiative and learn to play on their own. they should be left alone, even with the lego toys, for them to use their imagination.

 i have found your article very helpful and knowledgable. parents play a vital role in the upbringing of their children. parents arae the best teachers.
Name: deeni
Country: israel
 it is a very good article, but it should not be called "intelligence - can it be improved". i am doing a paper on the relative importance of hereditary and environment on personal and social intellectual growth, and i found your title misleading. your article should rather be called "the role of play in intellectual development" which is one of the many ways play plays an important role in the development of a child.
Name: NIPA PATEL

 i agree with the article. i have two kids and i try to spend as much time as i can. i can see difference between my kids and others. in kids development parents play majore role. this article is good for those parents who are running behind materialistic life.

 thank you for taking the time to write this article, it is very refreshing to hear views like my own. concentration and a have a go approach are so important in children,s attitudes. how else will they learn these attitudes unless they are modelled by a caring adult. (it doesn't neccessariyl need to be a teacher, just someone who cares enough)

 interesting article.good thoughts.intelligent cannot be changed is a dobutful statement.
Name: mother
Country: india
 the article reinforces my belief that though the scope for improvement in intellegence is limited , appropriate parental guidance definitely increases the efficiency in usage of this limited attribute i.e intelligence on the child's part . another important fact which we - the parents are afraid to admit is that over expectation from our chidren may ruin their happyness of life . the tragedy is that most of us( parents) have inner feeling that we have been unsuccessful in life and try to compensate this lacking through our children and and take an approach "they must excel" . so, let us deeply read the article and start looking at our children on that light and let us not impose everything on them that we could not do .

 the article is good. the importance of parents spending time with children to play is absolutely correct. but somewhere, there is a slight emphasis on school performance. why? a child who scores first in the class or for that matter in science or math alone is not intelligent. each is special in his/her own way. after all we do have ph.ds in social sciences or arts as much as we do in physics and maths - if that is the "intelligence" that most parents are running after. just my opinion. no offence meant.

 the article was rich in content , but i beg to differ on the issue that intelligence cannot be changed . it is a well established fact that the brain grows at a tremendous rate till 5 years . the growth is also directly proportional to the stimulus given to it through the environment . a rich stimulating and definitely a loving environment will make the intelligence of a child grow in leaps and bounds . so, parent s, make the best use of the first 5 years . it is during this time th e child uses every second of his life to learn all life skills like walking , speaking , reading and social skills

 the article made an interesting reading. but i would like to know how the older generation of people grew up without any parents guidance, books or journals to help them. were they also not intelligent? infact there were more nobel prize winners in india in the early days and not now a days.
