Activities for Boosting Child's Intelligence Quotient (IQ)


Involving kids in various brain boosting activities can help to improve their intelligence quotient (IQ). Let us take a look at some activities that help to improve the IQ of children.
Intelligence Quotient (IQ) compares intelligence among humans. If your kids have high IQ, it surely makes it easier for your kids in getting admissions in reputed schools – it also affects educational advancement and job performance in future. Previously, experts believed that IQ is fixed during birth, but recent evidence shows that you can raise your children’s intelligence. Here are few ways that can help you.

Mental Gymnastics Is a Must

Encourage your kids to play mind-stimulating games that make use of strategies, such as chess, crossword puzzles, scrabble, mathematical puzzles, cryptograms, checkers, Sudoku, word jumbles, etc. Start playing these with your kids at their early age. These games improve power of concentration, and boosts reasoning and perception. These will also help in building up memory skills. They also increase verbal skills. These brain-boosting games can have a serious impact in your kids’ development, and hence will affect their IQ.

Active Body Leads to Active Mind

It is proven that physically active students do better in schools. Involve your kids in various physical activities, such as playing different sports like football, basketball, etc., and regular yoga and breathing exercises, and it would be great if you can spend some time in teaching your kids to meditate regularly at least for some time. These increase their energy and boost blood flow to all parts of the body. Concentration, reasoning and thinking are enhanced when fresh oxygenated blood reaches brain. Yoga, breathing exercises and meditation reduce stress, lighten their moods, boost creativity, promote clear thinking, improve concentration, and increase their problem-solving abilities.

Enhanced Reading Helps a Lot

Reading can improve your kids’ IQ. Reading helps your kids in learning new vocabulary, stimulates thought, enhances memory, helps them make connection between certain events and thus boosts their brains, improved attention span, challenges their brain, and hence there is a high probability that reading raises IQ in kids. You can also read out newspapers or magazines or age-appropriate stories to them, or take your kids to library at least once a week and allow them to read what they want.

Create a Positive Environment

Surroundings matter. It is very important to provide your kids a stimulating environment. Teach them positive words, use expressive facial gestures, boost their confidence with praises, take them to plays and concerts, travel with kids to new places, introduce music and rhythm into your kids’ lives as music also provides mental gymnastics, engage your kids in conversations that help develop their vocabulary and language skills, etc. Raise your kids with positivity – it will surely enhance their IQ level.

A Healthy Diet Is Important

Nourish the young minds with a balanced diet that is rich in different vitamins and minerals, which are directly linked to enhancement of your kids’ mental abilities. Serve your kids wholesome foods and cut down processed and sugary foods. Studies show that kids who eat lots of fruits and vegetables and other non-processed organic foods show higher IQ than kids whose diet include lots of meats, fats and processed foods. Many think that fish and meat are healthy for brain, but in reality, it is the vegetable that actually acts as brain food.
If you really want to enhance your children’s IQ, you have to dedicate yourself and thus involve yourself in various activities with your kids as it is not an overnight process. It needs time, patience, knowledge, and will power. You should also be careful – do not rely completely on your kids’ IQ, make sure your kids get stronger in their life skills and emotional front as well. Being a better human being is more important than anything else in this life.
