Publisher's Synopsis
Raising a bright child is all about maximizing his or her potential. Lisa Barrett, a neuroscientist-psychologist, believes that the intelligence of a child is largely determined by the parents, rather than the child themselves. Barrett says that your child's brain development is dynamic and not a stationary object. When raising a child at this competitive age, parents are frequently anxious about whether or not their child is intelligent enough. Researchers have shown that when it comes to intelligence, nature, and nurture are roughly equal. Instead of applauding a child's intrinsic wit or talent, parents should emphasize activities that promote the development of the mind and intellect.
