Hi,
Is it possible to raise your children's IQ? Sometimes back, there were a number of doubts expressed by researchers on this dicey issue. But, recent research findings suggest us that it is possible to raise children's IQ by using a number of methods and techniques. These techniques and methods are easy to follow and adapt within the cool ambience of your home. Parents and children are the partners in progress, with both cooperating with each other to gain a number of benefits and advantages. Raising IQ in your children means enhancing their mental faculties and abilities in terms of thought process, logic, reasoning, learning, creativity and concentration. Normally, people tend to mistake the overall concept of IQ and its applications with just making their children perform well in a traditional classroom. However, raising IQ is far beyond the traditional understanding of IQ; in fact, developing or enhancing IQ is a process of transforming a child into a highly successful individual, both in personal and professional domains.

In a traditional sense of understanding, raising IQ in children involves enhancing a series of abilities and capacities like promoting clear thinking, boosting creativity, stimulating learning and understanding, increasing mental energy and concentration, introduce positive mindsets, develop fine motor and cognitive skills and reduce the feelings of self-defeat and inferiority complex.

Of late, educational and child psychologists are propagating the idea and process of raising IQ by using a combination of methods and techniques. Most of these methods are simple to follow and practice; some of them are nutritional in nature, while a number of others involve working on basic attitude and mindset. Whatever the method you use as a concerned parent, your overall goal should focus on developing your child in three main areas of IQ- cognitive, thinking and evaluation.

Raising IQ is also possible when parents provide brain boosting foods to their children. With their mental fitness benefits and advantages, these super foods can really catalyze a series of changes that eventually lead to an enhanced IQ score. These foods may include citrus fruits, eggs, certain fishes like salmon and cod, green colored vegetables and fruits, lean meat portions, whole-grains and cereals. All the best!

Q1: I am really distraught about my daughter. She is 4 and a half years old.
She started talking at a very early age. She is very articulate and talks in complete sentences with vocabularies which you will hardly hear coming from a regular 4 year old. She is very observant and points out so many things which you would ordinarily miss/ not pay attention to. She makes up a lot of words and is very interested in arts, animals and dinosaurs. She argues and reasons out in a very advanced way. Her memory also amazes a lot of people around her. Presently, she can remember things which occurred to her ever before the age of 2! She does very well in her pre-school with regards to her academic skills like math and language and reading....

A: She does exhibit signs of being gifted with your description; but she also appears to present some of the concerns that are attached to some gifted children. What needs to be understood here is that the reason she may be having difficulties with peers is possibly due to the uneven development (that you very clearly understood!).

Q2: I am hoping that you can give me a little bit of direction regarding my daughter, who recently turned 5. She was given the WPPSI in January and the K-BIT 2 in February. I was very concerned when I reviewed the assessments and followed up with the administrators. Apparently, my daughter disengaged during the testing and "opted out." I am no longer concerned with whether she is gifted, but rather whether there is a more global issue at hand....

A: I can only speculate the reason your daughter tested as was reviewed (WPPSI - Weschlers Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence and K-BIT 2 - Kaufman Brief Intelligence Scale). It is rather strange that she disengaged during the test and opted out but yet managed to do well in general. I am sure you decided to get her tested, as she appeared ready ...
