Parents who want to encourage the intellectual development of their children should implement five habits

Parents can nurture and encourage their children's intelligence in several ways.
As 2024 draws to a close, some parents may already be thinking about how they can help and motivate their children to make even more intellectual progress at the start of the new year.
Parenting experts believe that providing intellectual stimulation along with sufficient play time and ensuring adequate sleep contribute significantly to a child's cognitive development and future success, reports The Times of India. By introducing certain habits into their lives, parents can positively influence the development of their children. Below we find out what those habits are.
Motivate them to independently complete the tasks that bother them
After a certain age, many parents instinctively encourage their children to excel at what they are good at and put aside what they are not good at. However, intelligent children, especially those who are not only academically gifted but also strong in other areas, such as music or sports, need activities that allow them to fail and feel less pressure to achieve. .
Be there for them when they trust you and don't judge them
Parents are their children's protectors and in many situations they will confide in them when they have problems. According to experts, parents should think about how they will act in such situations because children will often copy their behavior. If parents approach problems calmly and rationally, children will grow mentally and emotionally in such a scenario, which means they will eventually adopt a pragmatic perspective on life.
They will approach circumstances with a problem-solving attitude. Parents will be able to see how the child solves problems in his life with simple but clever solutions, while other children his age may find it difficult to expand his horizons. Yes, you should always be there for them and support them, but also allow them to be confident and humble, which is the key to their future success.
Read to them often
As reported, many studies have shown the benefits of reading to children from a young age. Young children benefit from reading because it increases vocabulary, encourages creativity, improves cognitive skills, and helps them develop language and listening skills.
Children who read become smarter. As the child grows, let him read to you, even though you will read to him when he is very young. In addition to being a great bonding opportunity, this habit helps deepen their understanding of language and storytelling. To keep children interested in reading, visit your local library regularly and let them choose the books they want.
Give them some intellectual challenges
Don't forget to find time to play. One way you can help is to give children intellectual challenges that they will have to work hard to solve. Do not deprive children of free time so that they do not enjoy learning. It is difficult to determine where to draw the line between learning and fun, but it is essential to ensure that children can learn when they choose to do so, and not only when you force them to do so with the activities you have planned for them.
Make sure they have a healthy sleep schedule
A child's cognitive development is significantly affected by adequate sleep. According to research, sleep and IQ are directly related. When it comes to tests, children who get enough sleep often do well.
Ensuring children get the recommended amount of sleep is critical when trying to raise intelligent and successful children. According to the usual standards, preschool children should sleep from 10 to 13 hours, elementary school-aged children from 9 to 12 hours, and high school students from 8 to 10 hours.
