lovely parents

Every parent I have met wants a brilliant
child and I have also met some that
would get enraged if a child comes back
with a subpar report card and even go as
far as beating a child that isn’t doing
fantastic in class.

I always wonder why they do that
because the truth is there are a lot of
factors that make a child brilliant and
very few of them depends on the child.
In fact I can say the only factor that
depends on the child is concentration
and seriousness.

Every other thing including the ability to
think, assimilate, read, memorize,
prepare and a host of others fall under
the purview of the parents whether
consciously or unconsciously.

WITH THAT SAID WE WILL LOOK AT
THE LONG HELD NATURE VERSUS
NURTURE DEBATE.
The Nature debate says a child that has
the genes of parents who were average
students will most likely be an average
student.
The Nature debate backed by in fact a lot
of scientific debate says that a child picks
a huge chunk of his brain power from
the mother.

Another thing a child picks from the
parents is the memory power.
So if you were forgetful as a child, there
is a big probability that your child would
be due a gene scientists refer to as the
brain-derived neurotrophic factor.
The gene comes in two forms and if
parents pass the weak version of this cell
to their child the child might be forgetful
and read only to forget quickly.
Thankfully there is the nurture part of
the argument that says a child’s
brilliance can still shine forth despite
what nature bestowed the child if the
parents use some special skills to raise
the child.

These skills have been used repeatedly in
developed countries and are open for
parents that are willing to learn and put
the knowledge to practice.
These skills aren’t just gimmicks that
your child can use in school because let’s
face it; school is just a tiny part of the
huge part to success.
You will learn lessons here that your
child will need for a lot of other spheres
of life.

These skills are what I will be teaching
you in this group, here are a few of them
broken down into simple concepts.

ENCOURAGE AN EARLY THIRST FOR
KNOWLEDGE
Steve Jobs step dad taught him about
electronics when he was a toddler, Oprah
Winfrey’s grandmother taught her how
to read when she was three.
Tiger Woods was playing golf when he
was two and this early introduction to
knowledge is what I rarely see in Nigeria.
When a child is a toddler here he is
either in front of a TV all day which isn’t
great for his brain’s development or is in
a day care sleeping all day.
Here is the advantage some successful
people have; they were raised to start
incorporating information pertinent to
their lives early so they grew up loving
knowledge and that has helped them a
great deal.
The truth is a child you read story books
with as a toddler will love to read more
as a grown up than a child that watched
African Magic all day as a child.

ENCOURAGE QUESTIONS.
There is a phase in a child’s life that is
characterized by a lot of questions and
that phase is a very important part of
your child’s life.
Your child’s brain is at the opinion phase
where it is forming opinion about a lot of
things it can’t explain.
It is also a time when your child’s mind
is stretching and sadly a time some
parents kill their child’s mind.
You see parent frustrated by the
questions a child asks explode and say
don’t disturb me!
When you do that you just killed the
flame of curiosity that leads to brilliance
and Albert Einstein once said ‘’Never lose
a holy curiosity’’
Answer their questions no matter how
much and use the opportunity to give
them brain twisters.
For instance a child might say Daddy or
Mummy why don’t you go to my school?
You might answer and say I am too old
for your school but do you know there is
a type of school I can still go to? Think of
the answer and tell me later.
You are forcing your child to think and
that believe me is the greatest skill on
earth, the ability to think!
Thinking is the currency of the brilliant
and successful and that is why Henry
Ford said 'Thinking is the hardest work
there is, which is probably the reason so
few engage in it.

TALK
Many times we just assume talking is
that thing we do to communicate.
It is so much than that; it is a tool to
transfer brilliance especially to little
children.
The next time you are with a little child,
tell the child that is the television it is
spelt T E L E V I S I ON and that is the car
it is spelt CAR.
Tell the child those are four books 2+2 is
four and 2x2 is four.
Do this repeatedly and I promise you
your child is on his way to brilliance

NEVER MAKE LEARNING SEEM LIKE A
CHORE
The reason many children hate reading is
because they have come to see it like it is
work.
There are games like Scrabble, Ludo,
Whot and Monopoly that are good for
learning early Math and English that you
should play with your kids.
These will put it in their minds that
learning is fun and they will grow to see
the importance.

SLEEP
A sleep deprived child will never be
brilliant because his or her brain isn’t
getting enough rest.
This will lead to weak memory and short
attention span which equals scoring zero
in class.
HERE IS THE SLEEP CHART SCIENCE
AGREES WITH
Newborn to 3 months old 14 - 17 hrs
4 to 11 months old 12 - 15 hrs
1 to 2 years old 11 - 14 hrs
3 to 5 years old 10 - 13 hrs
6 to 13 years old 9 - 11 hrs
