Boosting IQ in Your Children - Simple Tips and Practical Suggestions

By subscription only! You are receiving this newsletter because you requested a subscription.

Hi,
Many parents commit this unpardonable mistake by benchmarking their children with others. In fact, it is a regressive activity that does not serve any purpose. It does not help you and your children either. However, comparing your children with others is a negative parenting strategy and it can harm both of you – you and your children. The way in which children grow – both mental and physical, varies markedly among all children. In fact, you can never compare one with the other.

You may want to concentrate and focus on your child's strengths and positive characters and create a system that assesses their own progress rather than creating a new and thoughtless comparing mechanism. Measure your children's progress over a period and assess their growth, so that you can improve and fine-tune their performance over time, in case there is any visible lacunae and weakness. All the best!

Thought for today:
"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says, 'I'll try again tomorrow." - Mary Anne Radmacher
