Here Is How You Can Raise Smart Kids Using 7 Powerful Actions

Raising kids is not an easy job. There are a lot of things you must keep in mind while raising children.

We cannot afford to deny- there are many things that today’s parents are either clueless or ignorant about when it comes to raising their children in the right way.

From constant comparison to enforcing values, parents go for several wrong acts on a daily basis.

There are a few things you must remember while raising kids, here are some important things you should not miss out on if you want to raise smart kids:

1) Comparison:

Constant comparison can destroy your kid’s self-esteem and confidence. Comparing your kids with other kids can not only be mentally destructive but also can lead to adults that are insecure and aggressive.

So don’t compare your kids with others.

2) Enforcing values:

You cannot enforce moral values on your kids. Forcing your children to follow or obey a certain set of moral values makes them a little more rebellious than usual. Instead, show them or teach them moral values by your actions.

3) Avoiding them from following their hobbies:

You cannot force your children to follow a certain hobby or avoid them following the hobbies they love. A simple key to your children’s happiness is letting them follow and practice their hobbies.

You must let them follow their passion irrespectively.

Apart from these, here are a few tips that will help you in raising your kids smarter than usual- that are backed by science:

1) BOOKS:

Consider arranging bookshelves for your children rather than giving them mobile phones at an early age. Reading can really change how your kid thinks and even help in developing their brain.

Use books that have a lot of pictures and animated stuff that will keep your children hooked onto the same books for longer periods of time.

2) Communicate:

Communication is the primary solution to almost every problem. Talk to your children from an early age. This will develop good communication between you and your kids as it fills the generation gap along.

Talk to your kids from the crib and continue talking or communicating them with an open mind even in their teenage.

3) Practice gratitude:

Practice gratitude. Teach your kids to be grateful. Teach them so with your actions. Children follow their parents, so the following gratitude will lead to better yet grateful children.

4) Considering them to be ‘dumb’:

Some people call their kids dumb just because they spend more time on the field rather than in libraries. Let me tell you, it is a myth. There is no specific way of declaring someone dumb or even smart.

Encourage your children and let them do what they love irrespective of situations.

5) Sleep deprivation:

Asking your kids to sleep less and focus more on studies will not do any good to them. Not being able to sleep well can make your kid’s brain to be undeveloped. Let your kids sleep for 10-12 hours/ day.

6) IQ is nothing without self-discipline:

There is no need to focus or brag about your kid’s IQ if they lack basic values of self-discipline. Teach your children self-discipline and you must do this by practicing it by yourself first.

7) Treat them:

Make it a habit to give them a few treats or even simple chocolates whenever they do a good thing or obey you.

This will encourage them to practice a little more and continue to obey for longer periods of time.

These are a few ways that help you raise smarter and wise kids.
