How to Stimulate Intelligence of Kids

Stimulating intelligence of children during early childhood is essential as most of the brain development takes place during this phase. Here is how you can stimulate the intelligence of your child.

Stimulating intelligence in kids is very essential. Generally, children prefer to do those works which attract them. They have fascination and liking only to those games which their peer group takes pride in playing. Though, it is a very good developmental sign in a child, parents need to stimulate and create enthusiasm in various other skill developing games and activities. Kids should be encouraged to learn fine arts, sports and few indoor games. This will surely stimulate intelligence of a kid. They will learn to organise themselves, use their time effectively and adjust in every situation in life.
Smart parents need not search games to make their kids play. Instead they can closely observe the games which their child is more interested. With minor changes in the games which the kids play, they can convert the games into more intelligent and innovative methods. For example,
  1. If the child likes to play with building blocks, a parent can focus on colours, counting, and shapes.
  2. If the child likes drawing or painting, a parent can focus on spellings, storytelling and sounds.
  3. If the child likes reading teach him, expressions, pronunciation, voice modulations and style.
  4. If the child likes to play indoor games, teach him how to enhance his attention skills by being silent and focused.
  5. If the child likes to play outdoor games, teach him how to behave, appreciate others and win with dignity.

Tips for Stimulating Intelligence of Kids

  1. Teach them the importance of something they do not like.
  2. Explain them why, how and what is interactive learning.
  3. Guide them to understand what knowledge is and how it can lead them towards excellence.
  4. Inspire them with moral stories, good TV shows, text books and lessons.
  5. Correlate daily situations with stories from epics, setting an example.
  6. Teach them to share and care. Let them know that sharing will help them to grow wisely.
  7. Teach proverbs and their essence.
  8. Give them sufficient freedom to do and enjoy everything. Freedom to understand, decide what is right and what is wrong.
  9. Encourage them to indulge in puzzles, Sudoku games, chess and the like.
  10. Allow them to challenge their memory power by playing more of memory games.
Intelligence in a child can be stimulated by playing physical, mental or cognitive games. Memory games challenge their cognitive skills. Appreciate the child in the area they are confident and encourage them to play other games they do not like. He should be encouraged to interact and also help others while playing. This will give him confidence and develop living skills. A child feels inferior if he is unable to remember all the objects displayed while playing memory game. So he starts remembering more objects as he keeps playing again and again. Sudoku helps him to arrange numbers and take proper alternative arrangements. This is very essential in life to think and plan out of the box situations.
It is also very essential that children play with the kids who are below and above their age group. Interacting with their peer group, siblings and also with little older kids gives them a nice way of brain exercise. They learn to give challenges, take challenges and also understand adjustment with others.
New gadgets like high end mobile phones, I pads, tablets are very attractive. A child should be allowed to use these gadgets, but at the same time there is a need to set certain limits. Over use of these gadgets can adversely affect the child.
At times, they should be allowed to stay and live with their aunts and uncles or with the relations and friends as this will surely develop living skills. A child has to get street smart. This is possible only when they interact, play and gradually gain confidence at every stage and with every situation they come across in life.
