According to a study from Genetics Home Reference, only 50% of a childโs intelligence is passed down from the parents, while the remaining 50% can be attributed to a childโs environment, availability of learning resources, nutrition, parenting, and education.
A study by psychologist Robert Sternberg concluded that the childโs skills and knowledge are usually the result of oneโs family. However, it is not just genetic relation, but rather, an educational one. He further explained that children inherit practical intelligence from their parents which is the knowledge that comes from the way your parents communicate with their kids.
Most parents are probably wondering that if IQ is not just purely genetics, how do you help your childโs IQ development? The process could actually start while the child is in the motherโs womb.

There were also several studies linking breastfeeding with brain development. A recent study shows that a longer duration of breastfeeding is linked to smarter adults and higher chances of earning more during adulthood. Dr Bernardo Lessa Horta, the lead author of the said study explained that, โThe effects of breastfeeding on brain development and child intelligence is well established. Our study provides the first evidence that prolonged breastfeeding not only increases intelligence until at least the age of 30 years, but also has an impact both at an individual and societal level by improving educational attainment and earning abilityโ.

Also, by enrolling your child to any of the creative arts activities such as painting, playing an instrument, or singing, based on the childโs early interests, it helps nurture his/her ability in that area.

While itโs understandable that most parents may be worried that children may fall into addictive activities such as excessive use of the computer or the Internet, a study at Queen Mary University of London and University College School shows that certain types of video games can actually help improve the childโs strategic thinking and help train the brain to become more alert.

Elisabeth McClure, researcher from Georgetown University explained that, โBabies who are pretty young are able to pick up, in particular, whether or not an adult is actually responding to them in real time. Video conferencing can be used in various ways to help engage a child, while making sure that you are also giving them an opportunity to learn. Playing guessing games, or reading stories on video calls, or play drawing games are some activities you can encourage.

Research shows that school children can increase their grades if they do breathing exercises prior to tests or assignments.

When the brain is supplied with freshly oxygenated blood, concentration, thinking speed, and complex reasoning are all enhanced. These activities promote clear thinking, stimulate the brainโs learning capabilities, increase energy and concentration.

The human brain is not static. Several studies show that while some of your childโs mental abilities may be influenced by genetics, the ability to learn and improve can be trained.
