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.
