A Few Simple And Effective Ways To Boost Your Baby's Intelligence

It's never too early to help your bundle of joy become an intellectual person. In fact, experts believe that the first years of a baby's life are the best time to start learning. And here are the best ways you can do to raise a happy, smart kid.

Bond with your child.

According to Tracy Cutchlow, editor of the book "Brain Rules for Baby," babies won't learn anything if they don't feel safe. Hence, it is very important to establish their sense of security. You can do this by making face time and skin-to-skin contact.

While looking and playing with your baby, stick out your tongue or make any facial expressions. Experts said infants as young as 2 days can imitate simple facial movements and while they are mimicking, it's a clear indication that they are problem-solving.

Go gaga with your child.

Make funny faces, crack a joke and laugh a lot with your baby. Let you child pull your ear and make funny faces when he does. Doing this all the time with your child can help develop his sense of humor.

Boost your child's motor skills.

Build an obstacle course for your child like place pillows, toys or boxes on the floor and let your child crawl over the items or around it. You can also lie down the floor and let your child crawl over you. Doing this every day can rapidly develop your baby's coordination and problem-solving skills.

Explore with your baby.

Walk with your child outside or bring him to the supermarket. As you walk around, narrate everything you see like "that's a blue car" or "yes, that's a fish." According to experts the more parents expose babies to new vocabularies, the easier language learning becomes.

Just follow these simple steps and you can definitely nurture your child's intelligence without adding any pressure to your child and to yourself!
