Raise Smart Kid

• This is the golden age of exploration for your child. Your role at this stage is to be a participant or observer, a provider of toys, and a provider of praise for your child's good performance.
• Play reinforces the mind-body connection. Baby brain cells continue to multiply when your child runs, climbs, touches, feels, manipulates, throws, and experiments with objects.
• Teach your child to try harder - like making a harder climb, walking farther, trying out the slide or the swing in the playground. These build your child's spirit and strengthen his confidence. In the future, he will know how to have the courage to read a more difficult book, perform in front of people, and do physical feats.
• Your child wants to explore the world, and he can move surprisingly quickly and disappear out of sight.  So it is important to child-proof your home.  You or someone else should always watch your toddler - and limit the possibility of him getting into trouble.
• One of the important lesson you can teach your toddler is independence and resilience. When your toddler falls, let him pick himself up by himself. As early as possible, teach him to feed himself and put himself to sleep at night.
• Learning a second language is found to boost a toddler's brain function. Consider having a bilingual caregiver, an immersion preschool or a child-appropriate foreign language program.
• Do not allow your toddler to watch too much TV. Studies indicate that young children who watch a lot of television were more likely to experience a range of problems by the fourth grade, including lower grades, poorer health and more problems with school bullies.
