10 Ways to Make Your Kid Smarter

I agree with elpintor.  You are being racist and close minded.  Race has nothing to do with it.  I am hispanic.  All my siblings are educated, and so are plenty of my friends.  If you invest time in your childs education and extracurricular activities, then your child will succeed.  Once the child leaves the school, its your responsibility to keep your child on the right path. 

I also have friends who's parents were not there.  Despite many obstacles, they have succeeded.  They wanted more out of life, so the struggled to move forward.  Children need someone to encourage and believe in them.  It's always best if its the parent, but in can be anyone.  It can be a  teacher, a neighbor, or a pastor. 

I agree with all the tips given.  Your mind needs to be stimulated.  These tips are not only great for your kids but for the parent as well.  Especially the reading part, genoagirl.  Open your mind.  Don't judge a whole race by an experience you had.  If you have a problem at your childs school, say something.  Your child can be moved to a class that is more advanced. 

In regards to Genoagirl AND berrbiss, let me guess....your child that you speak of is....gifted, right?  of course! gifted and deserves so much more.    I am a Hispanic parent and I care deeply about my childs education, as I am always right there to reinforce and help- and no, I have no thoughts of my son becoming a million dollar athlete (Genoagirl, you should be ashamed of yourself for such a racial remark)    And for all those moms out there who think their child is so much more special and brighter than the next kid, some of you are teaching your caucasian children that they're superior- then they go to school and become little playground racists.   I hear it all the time from my 6th grader. Then when his classmate make a racist joke then finds out he is half hispanic, these little racists, say "oh, your hispanic?  no, this joke was not meant for you".  Great parental education, huh?  Not everyone is going to be a million dollar CEO.

Oh yes, back to the subject.  I also believe in Dr. Blaylock's findings.  And how nutrition has lots to do with brain development.     And lots of reading!  I had my son on my lap reading to him long before he could speak.  And now his reading memory is 100% always on his A.R. (he just might be a million dollar CEO one day):)

p.s. sorry to sound so racists myself, but, I had to get my point across somehow. my apologies to all well meaning caucasians.  Lets get together and educate our children on "kindness" and "respect" to all, not who's child is better than the other.  And then just maybe the playground will be filled with better educated children.

As longer the "blame game" will continue to be used as the best way of excusing our inabi-

lity to act properly, NOTHING will change. We all have a responsibility, want it or not. Our constitutional rights come with strings attached for EVERYBODY. Blaming at the parents had

always been the easy way out: they have NO way to control the problem that started inside

the very organizations that took over the public education. They justify their extremist new

theories by looking at the wrongs of past education traditions and ignoring the ethics in-

volved. It is obvious that their agenda is far from making a smart future generation. I feel

sorry that our American appointed Leaders had become submissive to a foreign control, al-

lowing confusion to take over our future generation, the easiest way to totalitarian control.
