Genes from the father dominates a child's brilliancy accounting for up to 70%. Truth is many fathers who are BLOCK HEADS didn't care to use their brains in their youthful age. So their children takes over and are lucky to use theirs. females contributes just 30% to a child's brilliancy. Do ur research and prove me wrong.

TO ALL WHO SUFFERS FROM MENTAL DEFICIENCY AND ARE UNDER-PERFORMING

With my Ample research and practice in cognitive science almost every cognitive capability of individuals rest on the amount of information ones get and how much he did process it. The sole device of cognition is brain and it capacity is mostly underutilized.
There is individual approach to cognition mostly individuals are on autopilot so they never knew why they are brilliant or less brilliant on not brilliant at all. for the parents/guidances/ Teachers, we should limit negative comments on the pupils, as it creates negative emotion in them which impede their academics cognitive performances.
THE GENETIC/INHERITANCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
Leave the genetic factor aside u have little contribution to that, but control the environmental factor whitc has to do with your ward's/child's life activities, in what modalities your ward/child learn best? e.g some are auditory learner, visual learner, kinesthetic learner, then after that kindly call me on this no 07067930931 for proper information. In fact this aspect of human ability (cognition) i love most and i am writing a book on it currently. among what i trained people for are attention, memory, space repetition, creativity. and Brain Simulation.
Good luck.

Please, I dislike that term" dull" and also " solving the dullness" in a child.
After all said and done, you get what you are given and as parents, your job isn't just to feed and clothe them, it's to support them and help them grow into valuable members of the society and instilling good values.
What is the point in labelling the poor mite? So the kid in question might not be academically good, I as a parent would accept that and help the child achieve, at the very least, minimum competency in literacy and arithmetic.
Second task is to expose the said child to as many varied activities as possible and observe which ones he/ she has a natural aptitude for. That is what I'd encourage alongside basic education. This would help build the child's esteem and lead to the realisation within that child that we all have different strengths and each one can be equally as valuable as the next.
After all, nobody knows whether Venus Williams is book smart and neither do we care because her father invested in her aptitude for tennis rather than comparing her to other kids and we know where she is.. Probably richer than the so- called smart ones she went to school with.
I heard that Beyoncé is not very clever and couldn't write properly until after she became famous but who cares, she's a talented singer and is laughing all the way to the bank with her millions.
Not everyone is built for a life of academia!
. An insightful post. You just provided actions to be taken and I agree with you.

If you want to improve the brilliance of a child or even adult.

Keep the childs brain activity with
- reading , reading and reading
fiction or non fiction

the brain is a muscle the more reading the more stronger it becomes like your pumping iron.

Buy books for your child and FORCE them to summarise every thing they read.

when i was in primary school we had this teacher who will give us a book to summarise ( mallam illa passport, drummer boy etc) do we even still have those kinds of novels

mathematics


computer programming


some times video games that are educational are very good for the brain


Dont forget to get your child fish oil this is very good for the brain

for me its a list of many things combine.
1. GOOD BREAST FEEDING.
2. GOOD BALANCED DIET WITH NEEDED NUTRIENTS , FOOD SUPPLEMENT AT CERTAIN AGE IS NEEDED. REMEMBER D CHILD MAY NOT GET IT FRESH AS IN NATURAL FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
3. GENETICS AND HEREDITARY. D MATTER THAT IT MUST BE D MOTHER WHO HAS HIGH IQ IS JUST THAT IT IS USUALLY D MOTHER WHO PUTS D CHILD THROUGH OR CONFUSE HIM OR HER WHILE LEARNING. CHECK IT OUT IT IS D MOTHER WHO USUALLY ASSIST IN ASSIGNMENTS .
4 . A SEASONED INTELLIGENT TEACHER.
5. A GOOD LEARNING ATMOSPHERE .
6. GOOD AND RIGHT MATERIAL
7. AFTER AND ABOVE , IF A CHILD INTELLIGENCE HAS BEEN ALTERED OR TAMPERED SPIRITUALLY BY EVIL THEN IT TAKES GOD TO CORRECT AND RESTORE TO THE ACTUAL STATE OR GLORY.

Other factors include nutrition in-vitro and after birth.

ayando: . If genetics is the major factor, then it is right to say other factors can't make significant improvement. Is it right also to fault the parents for this problem? And lastly, why do we have exceptional kids even when they are from poor parents or illiterate ones?

please i'd like to point out 1 thing, illiteracy and brilliancy are two diff things, one could be literate and not brilliant, while some illiterate pple as u wld call dem are exceptionally brilliant and would outperform so many literate people if given the right skill and chance...our forefather were illiterate according to our current standards but if they are given the necessary tools they would work magic wink

Go back and ask your biology teacher if genetics is defined as the number of brain cells.

less dan 5% hereditory, 95 environmental factors such as exposure, school u attend, kind of teachers u dat tot u i school, interest of ur parent in ur education, friends etc..........truth is, even if your parents are dull, you could be a genius if you find yourself in the right environment.

Being brilliant has nothing to do with genetics tho. Besides...it's very possible to have a dull fada/moda and be a brilliant child or vice versa

what is your definition of dull?I already explained that not attending a formal school does not mean the capacity is not there.If a man is defined as dull because he does not know things you will learn in a formal school does not mean he couldn't know if he had had the training.

Genetics has to do with a coding in your cells that determine what your body will express.We may have the same number of brain cells but do not have the same capacity of expression.

Get to understand what genetics is about.

Yes I am aware of that fact, doesn't change the fact the labelling bright, clever, dull, autistic etc. does not correctly account for individualism.
My point is that the op's classification is focusing on what the said child cannot do readily whilst not exploring other things that could be done by that child expertly.

This is the point I always make. Everyone learns differently. Your child might not be autistic but I still think you should see a behavioral specialist. He is obviously bright and can definitely learn. The average 2 year old really does not care what a hexagon is and your child knows this. You put him in the hands of the wrong person and they will label him. Please if you are in Nigeria protect him at all cost and watch his teachers closely so they do not break his spirit. He might just be a little cognitively delayed. The worst thing that could happen now is him feeling like there is something wrong with him for not following instructions.

The coding of the cells will be similar genetically fine. Accepted.........but it's up to the individual to utilize it. you can't blame a child's brilliance on his/her ancestors.

The genes are the primary factor.

gatiano: GOD first, Love for the child from conception, Total love for his mother gives him all the confident and assurance in life, respect for his father by his mother helps him with relationship with his surroundings, and finally, during his birth, ensure the least shock that he must experience. meaning that there must be very low and if possible no light the the labour room because the baby is coming forth out of the universal darkness (mother's worm), sudden light strikes shock into his brains and giving birth into the water and he also came forth from a liquid from the worm. and gradually expose him to mother earth with all the love, care and protection. This will win over a genetic code nonsense.

You made a good & i think valid point with ur view. I remember i snap my 7 hrs old baby with the flash on, the way he responded to the shock from his sleep made me realize i commited a great error. still 8 months though, am keenly watching his progress & doing all thats possible to give him a good lyf.
