How To Increase Infant Intelligence
How To Increase Infant Intelligence
Most parents are willing to do whatever it takes to further their infant's development. Though part of intelligence is genetic, certain activities and exposure can advance a child when it comes to learning and development.
Instructions
- Understand that early development doesn't mean added intelligence. If a child walks or talks late, it doesn't mean he's lacking in intelligence.
- Give your infant opportunities to learn through new activities and experiences. For babies, play is the most valuable work there is. Blowing bubbles, banging on pots and pans, ringing a bell and pushing elevator buttons all are important as they teach cause and effect.
- Let your infant fully explore surroundings, with your supervision. Splashing in bath water, touching flowers, squishing bare feet in mud and rolling in the grass are tactile experiences the child can learn from.
- Teach language through frequent communication. In addition to everyday chatter, sing, babble and read to your baby to allow him to experience the sound of language. While you change diapers or swing in the rocker, make sounds to help develop language and communication skills even before your baby can speak.
- Help your infant learn by allowing her to experience interaction with others. Respond immediately when she cries, laugh when she laughs and stop play when she doesn't respond or seems worn out. The infant learns she's able to affect her environment.
