How to raise a genius: lessons from a 45-year study of super-smart children

Do you want to know how to raise a genius?

According to a paper in Nature, "How to raise a genius: lessons from a 45-year study of super-smart children", you may be able to raise your child to genius level.

● Expose children to diverse experiences. 
● When a child exhibits strong interests or talents, provide opportunities to develop them.
● Support both intellectual and emotional needs.
● Help children to develop a ‘growth mindset’ by praising effort and improvement, not ability.
● Encourage children to take intellectual risks and to be open to failures that help them learn.
● Beware of labels: being identified as gifted can be an emotional burden.
● Work with teachers to meet your child’s needs. Smart students often need more- challenging material, extra support or the freedom to learn at their own pace.
● Have your child’s abilities tested. This can support a parent’s arguments for more-advanced work, and can reveal issues such as dyslexia, attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder, or social and emotional challenges.

Ex-Giants Punter Credits Chiropractic for Long NFL Career

Below is a picture of me with Steve Weatherford, the New York Giants ex -punter. I met him at the Association of New Jersey Chiropractors Conference in October, 2016. He let me try on his Superbowl ring (it is quite heavy)!

Steve credits his ongoing Chiropractic care since his teens with his long NFL career, and with not missing a game due to injury. He spoke to the doctors at the conference and told them that there is a reason why professional sports teams have team Chiropractors. They help keep the injury rates down, speed the athlete's recovery when injured, and increase the player's performance.

Chiropractic Adjustments Improve Breathing

A recent study has demonstrated that people receiving spinal manipulation of the mid-back (Thoracic spine) have improved breathing afterwards. Respiratory function tests, including forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume were all improved after the procedure as compared to a control group that did not receive the adjustment.

This confirms what I have witnessed and what patients with respiratory and breathing conditions have reported and experienced. They are helped with regular adjustments.
