1.Eat a good breakfast
早餐要吃好
A child's brain needs a proper balance of nutrients suchas glucose, iron, vitamin A, vitamin B, zinc, and folic acid.Kids who eat breakfast have better memory and longer attention spans.Whole grain cereals and oatmeal have been found to be a better start to the day than sugary cereals like Cap'n Crunch.With toddlers, breastfeeding has been shown to improve health and intelligence.
小孩的腦部發(fā)育需要許多營養(yǎng)物質(zhì)，比如葡萄糖、鐵、維他命A、B、鋅、葉酸(維生素B)。吃早餐的孩子記憶力好，注意力集中程度也較高。早餐最好是全谷類食品和燕麥片，而不是像Cap'n Crunch這樣含糖的谷類食品。有證據(jù)證明，母乳喂養(yǎng)有助于提高孩子的抵抗力和智商。
2.Engage in music-making
音樂熏陶
Give your kids lessons in piano, guitar and violin; music helps your children develop higher IQs.On average, music students perform better on standardized tests and have higher over all GPAs.In one experiment, it was found that taking piano lessons even helped raised IQ significantly.
讓您的孩子學(xué)習(xí)鋼琴，吉他和小提琴；音樂有助于培養(yǎng)孩子的高智商。在標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化考試中，學(xué)習(xí)音樂的學(xué)生比其他學(xué)生表現(xiàn)的更好，平均分也更高。標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化考試中，學(xué)習(xí)音樂的學(xué)生比其他學(xué)生表現(xiàn)的更好，平均分也更高。
3.Play Games
游戲也能增長智力
Studies show that video games can improve many skills.According to the UC Berkeley study, video games can improve:hand-eye coordination,problem solving ability,reasoning,pattern recognition,accuracy of estimations,hypothesis testing,resourcemanagement,quickthinking and reacting,memory,spatial perception,judgment calls.
電子游戲有助于改善多種技能。根據(jù)根據(jù)加州大學(xué)伯克利分校的一份研究顯示電子游戲能夠改善手眼協(xié)調(diào)能力、解決問題的能力、推理能力、圖像識別能力、判斷能力、假設(shè)檢驗?zāi)芰?、資源管理能力、快速思考和反應(yīng)的能力、記憶力、空間感知能力和決策能力。
Pretending type of games and playtime can help your develop intellectually, especially if your child is between ages 1 and 3.It also helps children remember and recall events with least hassles.
偽裝類型的游戲和娛樂時間可以幫助你的孩子開發(fā)智力，特別是如果您的孩子是1到3歲之間。它也幫助孩子記憶，不去想那些少有的麻煩事。
4.Limit television time
限制孩子看電視的時間
Of course, too much of anything can still be badthing.Kids still need time away from the TV to develop social skills and do homework.Control TV time as uncontrolled TV can hinder your child's ability to concentrate and focus on studies.
當(dāng)然，太多的干某件事情會適得其反。孩子們?nèi)匀恍枰鳒p一些看電視的時間來發(fā)展他們的社交能力或者做作業(yè)?？刂瓶措娨暤臅r間，因為長時間看電視會影響你的孩子對學(xué)習(xí)的專注能力和很難專心學(xué)習(xí)。
5.Unstructured play time should be mandatary
必須讓孩子自由玩耍
Unstructured playtime has always been an importantpart of "being a kid," but it is also crucial to a child's development.Hovering and over-parenting is linked with psychological problems."Free play" not only helps kids develop cognitive and social skills, it also helps them develop into happy, healthy adults in the future.
對于小孩來說，自由玩耍是非常重要的一部分，同時也對他們的成長至關(guān)重要。如果父母老是在一旁或者管的太多，容易使孩子產(chǎn)生心理問題。自由玩耍不僅能幫助孩子發(fā)展認(rèn)知能力和社交能力，還能讓他們成長為快樂健康的成年人。
6.20 minutes of exercise helps kids too
20分鐘的體育鍛煉
A Swedish study of over a million 18-year-olds showed that fitness does relate to a person's IQ.The specifics of how exercise affects brain growth and development is unclear, but studies show that for 9 and 10-year-olds, 20minutes of exercise before a test significantly improves test scores.
瑞典一項基于100萬18周歲人群的研究顯示，健康和一個人的智商息息相關(guān)。人們現(xiàn)在還不清楚體育鍛煉是怎樣影響大腦發(fā)育的，但是研究顯示，如果9至10歲在接受測驗前進(jìn)行過20分鐘的體育鍛煉，測驗分?jǐn)?shù)有顯著提高。
7.Reading with your kids
和孩子一起閱讀
Reading has long been known as away to improve children's intelligence.Kids who are read to frequently develop earlier writing and number skills as well.For parents who don't have as much time, just surrounding your kids with books goes a long way too.
人們很早就知道閱讀有助于提高兒童的智商。經(jīng)常閱讀的孩子的寫作和算術(shù)能力比其他孩子發(fā)展的要早。如果父母沒有那么多的時間，那么拿著書和孩子們呆在一起也會大有幫助。
8.Put kids to bed early
讓孩子早點睡覺
Studies from a California-based group called SRII nternational show that kids with regular bedtimes are better at languages,math, and reading.Preschool children should get at least eleven hours of sleep, and kids upto age 12 should try to get at least ten hours of sleep.
總部設(shè)在加州的斯坦福研究院的研究顯示，作息時間規(guī)律的小孩在語言、數(shù)學(xué)和閱讀等方面表現(xiàn)的比其他孩子要好。學(xué)齡前的兒童至少應(yīng)該保證11個小時的睡眠，12歲的小孩也應(yīng)該至少保證10個小時的睡眠。
9.Praise good effort, not intelligence
鼓勵孩子多嘗試，不要只注重結(jié)果
Your kids may be smart, but you should focus your praise on the effort they put into succeeding at tasks.Kids who are praised on intelligence often feel it is a fixed trait, and mistakes or failures severely hurt their self-confidence.Kids who are praised on effort often focus more on learning, and are not afraid of a challenge, or to fail and try again.
孩子們可能很聰明，但是父母更應(yīng)該注重對孩子們完成任務(wù)時所作出的努力給與鼓勵。如果父母總是在孩子們獲得成功時才給與鼓勵的話，孩子們會認(rèn)為這是一種固定的模式，任何錯誤或者失敗都會打擊到他們的自信心。被父母鼓勵多嘗試的孩子更多地注重學(xué)習(xí)，也不怕挑戰(zhàn)和失敗，他們會一次次的嘗試。
10.Learn a second language
學(xué)習(xí)一門外語
Early studies in this field have preliminarily shown that bilingual kids can focus better under pressure and focus better on relevant information.Research is being done still, but many argue that the peak of language learning ability ends before puberty.It has been shown that young children can learn new languages with nearly perfect fluency and pronunciation.
這一領(lǐng)域先前的研究表明，會說兩門語言的孩子在壓力環(huán)境下更能集中精神，對于相關(guān)信息的專注度也更高。相關(guān)方面的研究還在繼續(xù)，但是許多人認(rèn)為，語言學(xué)習(xí)能力在青春期前達(dá)到頂峰，而后就保持在固定的水平。還有證據(jù)表明，孩子學(xué)習(xí)起新語言來會非常流暢，發(fā)音也更為準(zhǔn)確。（瀘江英語）
