Raising Smarter Children

In the nature vs. nurture debate, we think doing activities with your child will help you raise a smarter child in every way.

The next few posts are devoted to things you can easily do with your child…

If you want to teach your child about how to ask great quality questions, here’s one way:

Get a tape recorder, paper and pencil and ask your child to interview you, or another adult about their favorite year.

Make sure the questions include  who, what, where, when, and why, just as you see in every good newspaper article.

Once the interview is over, help your child create a book of his or her favorite memories by having you ask the same type of questions.

That way, your child gets a lifelong keepsake, and learns about quality questions during a fun process!

Remember, every child is smart in their own way,

Warmly,

Pat Wyman and Erin Mavredakis M.D.
