IQ Children is about opening mental doors.

Hello and welcome,

Nature, God, biology, karma, or whatever cause you select to blame or praise for your own, or your child's mental condition is irrelevant. The fact is we are all born with abilities and disabilities.

Here we want to talk about developing natural talent to greater heights and minimizing the effect of difficulties with young children.

Stimulating latent talents basically comes down to exposure to stimulation. That sounds self-evident but when you consider the realm of music for instance; most children hear pop music. That's it. Mozart, operetta, blues, varieties of Jazz never get a chance.

With art, do they know that it's not just aesthetic pictures? Why does a painting or photo pull the response it does? What is the artist telling us?

Alphabet curtains and blocks familiarize the child with words and encourage verbal expression. Listening to us speak teaches how to communicate. What is the predominate mood in your household?

A child can grow up in a two or three language environment and understand not only what is being said, but differentiate between the use of each language. It will grow up knowing each language without being taught.

The child's mind is a sponge. Expose it to stimuli and it will grow without effort on its part. So what do we need to equip our children for clear mental functioning in life?

The child learns by doing, finding out first hand is play and learning combined. If we want to teach we must do it the way the child naturally learns. They find that sugar tastes sweet by tasting it, not by being told. We can associate the sensation of sweetness with a word; "sugar" in this case.

Say the word "lemon" and give the child a lemon wedge. It will go straight into their mouth. You know what's next so make that facial expression and say "lemon" again. The child has learned by doing and association.

What we want to do with IQ Children is promote learning and the pleasure it gives, so that they enter teen years with the attitude of discovery toward learning. We also want a well adjusted child emotionally; one who is adaptable to life's challenges.

Your children will see more changes than ever before in history. It is our job to set a firm foundation to support whatever path they choose. I don't agree that we should set their path . We should present all the facts.

Your input is important. Your thoughts count, so be a part of this new experience.

In regard to your comments, we will only publish those that deal with the topic not the person who you may dissagree with. This is in keeping with how we should treat our children. It's not "You are wrong." it's "That is wrong." and support it by fact. This may be difficult at times but raising children has the effect of raising ourselves too.

A lot of things are planned so watch the next few weeks.
