I read a lots of article about child geniuses… The fact is most of children are geniuses when born. I strongly believe this when I start to observe how my children developed since zero days old. I have also read many books about how to train and teach or perhaps enhance they genius ability during early childhood stage. I can conclude that all our children are geniuses!

Here, I share my 7 Tips:

Tips #1 Antenatal and postnatal counselling or training.

Parents should attend postnatal classes during pregnancy of 5 months above. This is good for both baby and parents to prepare for arrival of the new baby. At the same time, mommy can learn and understand earlier about pregnancy to reduce the discomforts feeling during pregnancy.

Tips #2 Sign up for postnatal exercise, such as pregnancy yoga.

Find professional exercise coaching by a Physiotherapist. Learn do to safe exercises during pregnancy can help your body balance and calm your baby mind in your womb. An aternative way is to buy pregnancy yoga book from a book store at your neighborhood.

Tips #3 ****** Feeding your child at least 100 days upon birth.

Breast milk is the best for baby. Lots of article mentioned about the nutrition from ****** milk, it’s natural and it’s the most basic food for all new born babies.

Tips #4 Basic nutrition for baby starting with solid food.

Pick nutritional food that is easy to digest such as carrot, potato. It helps your baby to have healthy teeth and skin, plus increase your child analytical skills. Apple or grapes juice can be as supplement drinks besides ****** milk.

Tips #5 Display colorful toys or pictures in baby room wall

Display many colorful toys or pictures to develop your baby’s eye focus and mind concentration. You have to change the position once a while to catch your baby attention and thinking.

Tips #6 Play a variety of foreign languages songs CD

During nap time, play a series of different languages music. When your baby is grown, they will be able to learn foreign languages without any difficulty, possible will be very good in speech and self expressing.

Tips #7 Right brain kids education

Parents if you have planned for your child education financial budget, try to enroll your child n enrichment course for right brain kids education. From the course you can learn more on how to train your toddler at home. Some methods from Montessori also very good in helping parent to teach at home.

Hope above tips are useful especially for 1st time parents!

Here are six key concepts which can make a substantial impact on how you interact with your child from the earliest moments of life.

Concept #1. Start Early

The infant brain develops rapidly from the earliest moments of life. Learning can and does begin as early as prenatal-while the child is still in the womb.

- If you are pregnant, then start talking to your baby and play classical music and foreign languages for him.

Concept #2. Make Connections

Brain circuitry develops and grows through connecting cells with information links. The more information links, the more learning capacity.

During the first three years, the creative, highly photographic, sensitive brain is wide open to impressions of all kinds. The brain quickly scans, catalogs and links all new information to the stored images where an association can be found. Connections (synapses) are formed at supersonic speed supplying and further fortifying wonder and curiosity in the mind of a child.

- Teach your child through as many senses as possible using flashcards, classical music, world languages, sensorial toys and games.

Concept #3. Use Quality Stimulation Now (Flashcards, Music and Languages)

The rate of brain regeneration and growth decreases after an infant has reached about 12 months of age. Any cells that are not used will gradually, naturally die off. Overall neurological capacity is determined at a very early stage in life.

University of Chicago neurobiologist Peter Huttenlocher discovered critical information about brain growth. His research showed just how fast the early brain grows. A 28-week-old fetal brain tissue sample showed 124 million brain connections. A newborn brain tissue had 253 million connections, and an eight-month-old infant had 572 million.

“But the growth of the number of connections, Huttenlocher soon learned, slowed down by the end of the first year and stabilized at about 354 million per tissue sample. He says, ‘It was strange… The number of connections kept going up and up and then they started to go down.’

“His research proved that the fetal brain overproduces cells and that unless they find a connection or a ‘job’ to do in the body, they die off. He says that under stimulation and lack of interaction with the outside world causes the cell death. The future number of brain cells could vary by as much as 25% depending on the quality and quantity of enrichment offered to the learner.”

- Maximize the precious first three to six years of your child’s life with a high-quality educational program and loving bonding time.

Concept #4. Teach Both Brains

The brain is divided laterally into two hemispheres-and although they are designed to work together, each has a vastly unique personality and abilities.

Drs. Robert Ornstein and Roger Sperry’s “split-brain” research revealed that we have two distinctly different brains: the right and the left. The left side of the brain processes linear, concrete factual information and is key in language and logic. The right side of the brain processes random, creative, intuitive, multi-sensorial images.

Each side of the brain exhibits certain characteristics:

Left Brain Characteristics Right Brain Characteristics

Conscious awareness Subconscious awareness

Logical thought Abstract thought

Short term memory Long term memory

Slow input Fast input

Linear, sequential, reason Creative, imaginative

Relies on physical senses Relies on intuition

sight, sound, taste, touch, smell resonance with frequencies

Subsequent studies have revealed that each hemisphere contains some of the abilities of the “other side.” Modern education addresses left-brain development. Now we know that when the right hemisphere is developed, the entire brain is activated and all areas of mental performance improve.

-Your child needs to effectively utilize and involve both hemispheres in learning with fast, playful input (right brain) and logic (left brain).

Concept #5. : Maximize the Right Brain Window

The outer cortex of the brain develops from right to left, providing a window of time where an infant is primarily functioning with the right hemisphere.

The brain, like every other organ in the human body, develops and grows at an astounding rate from the moment of conception. The brain develops up from the stem to midbrain to the outer cortex, or cerebrum. As the neocortex develops, the midbrain links to the right hemisphere first and does not begin to link to left brain conscious thought until the child is about age two. This period of development is what we refer to as the “Right Brain Window”-there is no left brain interference or filter of incoming information. This means that the right brain is WIDE OPEN for learning input.

After age three, children begin to actively shift to the logical left hemisphere of the brain. At this point, if the right hemisphere is left unchallenged or unused-or if a child is in a predominately left-brain learning environment-then the left hemisphere will dominate.

- Give your child as many flashcards and other types of high-quality input as possible during the 0-3 year period. Afterwards, keep the right brain open with playful right brain games.

Concept #6. : Be Happy!

The brain is sensitive to subtle frequencies: light waves, sound, thought and emotion.

The left brain works with tangible facts taken in through the outer senses-sight, sound, taste, touch and smell. The right brain recognizes the subtle wave frequencies of light, sound, thought, emotion and magnetism that is not always apparent to the outer senses. The abilities of the right brain are fully explainable when understood within the context of frequency. Light, sound, emotion and thought all travel in waves. These frequencies are utilized in right brain education.

- Teach to all of your child’s senses, including through emotion and thought. Learn how to center your emotional states to reflect peace, calm and love toward the children in your care.

Right Brain education potentially unlock your child potential to have photographic memory, speed reading, multiple language acquisition, computer like math calculation, perfect pitch music, intuition, creativity, invention and advance 3D visualization. Every child born with genius

Two year age is a vital period for toddlers. Things that they learn at this stage of life often stay in their memories throughout their lifetime. Learning alphabets and numbers start during this year. Since a child will naturally spend a lot of time with toys, these can play a significant role in the learning process. As such, their toys must also be carefully chosen so that these provide educational entertainment to the children for hours.

There are several good choices for a two-year old child’s toy box, but some are better than others. We provide you here with a list of ideal toys for 2-year old kids. Have a look.



Pull-along toys – These are absolutely great for toddlers of 2-years age. Researches have shown that any kind of pull-along toys are great for emotional development of little kids. Animal dolls with wheels under them are the best, as these also promote learning about the animal world.

Toy cars – These are great for this age as well. Kids are often able to draw parallels between the cars they play with and those they see on the road. This can aid their learning process. Besides, they have loads of fun playing with these anyway.

Building blocks – This is the time to introduce the child to the fascinating world of building blocks. Once the child learns how to build things by joining blocks, from houses to bridges, it is difficult to move them away from these toys. Besides, this greatly enhances their learning process. However, small sized blocks should be avoided at this stage, to prevent accidental choking of the child from swallowing small parts.

Puzzle sets – This is the time to introduce the child to the world of puzzle solving. Kids of this age can have hours of fun solving puzzles. Besides, they also learn a lot from these games. With someone to guide them through the initial levels, kids can grow into expert problem solvers that can accelerate learning process in later years.

Stacking toys – Be it a stack of rings to put on a stick or a set of blocks to be strung on a straight wire, stacking toys are great for a kid to learn about the order of arranging things. A grown up will initially have to teach the child how to arrange the things in ascending and descending orders. But as the initial stage ends, the child will have hours of fun imitating the process. Not only that, this improves the child’s motor functions, hand-eye co-ordination and helps him/her make tactile discoveries.



These learning toys are great for the second year of a toddler. These can help him/her learn something new through hours of fun.

MySpace leads Facebook in revenue earned form advertisements. But recently, Facebook has surpassed MySpace in unique visitors. This is an astounding accomplishment being that MySpace had a three year lead and enjoys immense popularity. Users are leaving MySpace for Facebook in droves and it is speculated that this transition may be a result of class rather than trend.

Following the creation of Friendstar, a number of eUniverse employees saw its potential and used its more popular features to create a social networking website with a wider base. MySpace was launched in August 2003 and with resources including technicians, bandwidth and server capacity already in place users increased at an astounding rate.

MySpace operates from advertising revenue alone. There is absolutely no cost to the end user. MySpace is capable of using behavioral targeting to customize the ads that each user sees. Only Yahoo! has been able to collect more data about it’s users in order to customize advertising. The success of MySpace has trickled down to many young entrepreneurs who provide widgets or accessories that add to the functionality of the networking powerhouse.

MySpace encourages users to customize their profile pages by entering HTML. In addition musicians are allowed to upload and share up to 6 MP3 songs provided it is their own work or they have permission to use the songs. Over eight million artists owe their discovery to MySpace so far! Political organizations and politicians themselves have created MySpace pages to expand their membership and to get more young viewers involved in campaigning. MySpace offers many engaging features including Bulletins, Groups, MySpace IM, MySpace TV, Applications, MySpace Mobile, MySpace News, MySpace Classifieds, MySpace Karaoke and MySpace polls.

MySpace networking has many positive aspects, unfortunately, they are matched in number by negative aspects. MySpace does not have a customer service number readily available. Most problems are solved via networking with other MySpace users. HTML code is rarely met because those using the code are not experienced. This can lead to accessibility problems and freeze up web browsers.

Security is another major problem. Advertisements are abundant and some provide links to fake login screens that trick a user into entering their MySpace user name and password. Spam bulletins and infections are prime examples of security breaches. Social issues arise such as teens inadvertently inviting a large number of people to parties. People are also more likely to present themselves in ways that they would not in person which undercuts the purposeful design of MySpace which is to bring people together. Stalkers also are able to gather a large amount of information about an individual via MySpace.

Facebook is also a social networking website. Unlike MySpace its origin is not corporate but academic! Membership was initially offered to only Harvard College students. Shortly after in March of 2004 membership was expanded to include Stanford, Columbia and Yale. In September of 2005 Facebook welcomed high school students by invitation only then employees of Apple Inc. and Microsoft. Finally, Facebook expanded its membership to include everyone over the age of 13 with a valid email address in September 2006. Facebook members join networks which are organized by city, school, workplace and region.

Facebook remains privately owned by Facebook Inc. but has investors who are major players including PayPal co-founder Peter Theil, Accel Partners, Greylock Partners and Microsoft.

Facebook offers many of the same features as MySpace like banner ads, creating customized profiles, and the viewing of the profile data being restricted to users from the network or confirmed friends. Facebook’s features include the Wall, Pokes, Photos, News Feed, Facebook Notes, Chat and Gifts.

The most significant difference between the two websites is the level of customization. Facebook only allows plain text as opposed to HTML and Cascading Style Sheets. But despite its 3 year head start in the general public, MySpace fell behind Facebook in May of 2008 with a total of 123.9 million unique Facebook visitors. According to Alexa, Facebook’s ranking among all websites went from 60th to 7th from September 2006 to September 2007. It is currently 5th.

Currently young people are leaving MySpace in droves for Facebook. Some speculate that it is typical teens moving on from one trend to the next. Others speculate that Facebook attracts more affluent users. Facebook originated with Ivy League students who then attracted high school kids who were eager to become part of the culture in their upcoming college experience. Danah Boyd, a researcher for the University of California, Berkley, claims that the “goody-two-shoes, jocks, athletes, and other ‘good’ kids” are going to Facebook. These ‘good’ kids are attracted first to the Facebook’s origin and they are also eager to stay away from the controversy that surrounds MySpace. Therefore there is evidence of a class divide rather than a change in trend for all young users. It will be interesting to see if Facebook becomes similarly polluted.

MySpace leads Facebook in revenue earned form advertisements. But recently, Facebook has surpassed MySpace in unique visitors. This is an astounding accomplishment being that MySpace had a three year lead and enjoys immense popularity. Users are leaving MySpace for Facebook in droves and it is speculated that this transition may be a result of class rather than trend.

Alice Seba asked:


Here’s something that most online business owners struggle with - Working too hard for not enough return. Eve when the return’s are good, the hours can be grueling.

As an Internet marketing mother, I can’t afford to be sitting at my computer 24/7. I chose to run an online business because I want to be home with my kids, but at home glued to a computer screen isn’t like being at home.

Even if you don’t have a kid or a spouse, a business should not become your entire life.

It’s a recipe for burn out and a dismal life that revolves around a computer. At first, building your business and working really may seem exciting, but then you look up and realize there’s nothing else in your life.

So, how do you work smarter and not harder? In other words, how do you make more money with less personal time invested in your business.

To me, in comes down to 4 key points:

• Value your time

• Leverage the strengths and time of others

• Implement Passive Income Models into your Business

• Don’t be afraid of technology

Here’s some more thoughts on each of those:

1. Value Your Time:

You need to set and limit your working hours. You probably run your business, so you can stay home with your family&/or have more freedom. Well, being a prisoner to your computer doesn’t do either of those things for you.

In addition, when you limit your work time, you are more productive. If you have only 3 hours to get work done, you’re more likely to stay focused and do what you need to do. If you have set aside the whole day to work, you’ll probably slack off and hang out at forums, check your stats endlessly or find other distractions. Sorry to say – that’s NOT working.

2. Leverage The Strength & Time of Others:

Don’t think of yourself as a solo entrepreneur…think of yourself as a team. You can leverage the strength and time of others by:

- Outsourcing: Never try to do it all yourself!

- Partnering with others reaching the same target market as you: Your competition doesn’t need to be your enemy. Make them your partners instead!

- Recruiting and training an affiliate force: Just setting up the script for your affiliate program isn’t enough…set up a stellar program instead.

- Being part of mastermind group that shares business strategies and experiences.

3. Implement Passive Income Models Into Your Business:

Outsourcing and having your own well-managed affiliate program are ways to generate passive income. Other ways to add more passive income to your online business are:

- Join affiliate programs: You don’t have to fulfill all the orders and provide customer support.

- Learn search engine optimization (SEO): Search engine optimization is an excellent source of highly-targeted traffic for your website. Just think, people enter a keyword phrase for something they want and voila, they find you.

- Implement pay-per-click strategies: Just like with search engines, you can get highly-targeted traffic to your website, but you have to pay for it. But setting up a cost-effective and profitable campaign can do wonders for your business. Try Adwords of Yahoo Search Marketing.

- Use autoresponders: Effectively automate your follow-up process with our prospect and customers.

- Backend Sales & Upsells: When someone is already going to buy from you once, they’re more likely to buy more. Make sure you make extra offers.

4. Embracing Technology:

This one might be tough for some non-technical people. Honestly, I’m not very technical and I get intimidated by technology…but I do know that if I can automate something in my business, it saves me time and money. That’s why I have a programmer on hand to help me with stuff like this. I don’t have to implement the technology myself. I just use it to my advantage in my business.

Some uses of technology can include…but the possibilities are ENDLESS

* Autoresponders

* Shopping carts

* Membership sites

* Automating content addition to your sites

* Making customer/prospect management easier and more profitable

* Customer feedback, comments, reviews

* Affiliate program

* Tracking advertising and split testing

So please, stop doing so much work! Your business, family and friends will thank you for it!

Malcolm Blake asked:


Children do not go to school to learn games, but a game may help them to some valuable acquirement. The occasional introduction of such exercises as are suggested here will relieve the monotony of the schoolroom, will rest the pupils, brighten their wits, concentrate their attention, and give them a fresh impetus for more serious work.

The games can be used sometimes in opening exercises, or for ” busy work ” between recitations, or occasionally in place of a recess. In district schools where children living far from the school bring their lunches, these plays will make the noon-hour pass quickly and pleasantly.

Geography and History Helps.

Capping Names: This game is played by each scholar in order naming some place or person, each to begin with the final letter of the one previously given. Starting with London, the next might be Newport, the next Troy, and so on.

This game may give choice of geographical names generally, or be limited to names of cities, historical characters, etc. When used as a geography exercise, it is well to have the places located; and in the history class dates and brief descriptions may be given; as, Alexander, king of Greece, fourth century B.C. ; Eaphael, one of the “old masters”, lived in Italy; Longfellow, American poet, nineteenth century; Washington, “the father of his country”.

Piece-Work: Two pupils choose sides. No. 1 names a city, county, or river previously studied by the class, about which No.1 of the opposite side must state a fact. No.2 another, and so on down the line. The head scholar who has already recited then proposes a city for the other side, which is taken in the same manner. If any one hesitates he returns to his seat. If the sentences do not hold out the length of the line, and any one below the last who recites thinks of another acceptable sentence, the intervening scholars take their seats.

If those left in line can think of nothing further, and one on the opposite side recites a fact which the entire class is supposed to know, the remainder of the line pass to their seats; but if this does not occur, a new city is given. If thought best, some scholar may sum up the facts after they have been separately given.

Alphabetical Game: The group is divided by choosing sides. The leader begins by naming a place beginning with the letter A, and then slowly counts up to ten. If some one on the opposite side during this time can give some geographical name beginning with the same letter he does so, and in turn counts ten, giving the other side a chance to name a place. This goes on back and forth until there is a failure to give a place during the counting.

The side which last gave a name is awarded a credit, and the game is begun anew with the letter B. All the letters of the alphabet are thus taken, and the side which has the largest number of credits wins.

Historical Pictures: As a review exercise in a History class pupils may be required to bring in a written description of some person or event wliich they may select, leaving the subject to be found out by the other pupils when the exercises are read. A skillful teacher may also use these pictures with good effect in bringing historical scenes vividly before her pupils.

The following are illustrations:

1. On a plain stand two armies, only waiting for the signal to commence fighting, when an old man comes between them and proposes that instead of a battle it shall be a single combat. Three men are chosen out of each army. Two of the three are killed, but the third, in feigning flight, cleverly kills his three opponents.

2. A venerable man, dressed in a costume of ancient times, holds in his hand a bowl of some liquid which he is about to drink. As he raises the bowl to his lips a smile lights up his face; but the persons gathered about him are shedding tears.

3. A man, moved by some deep feeling, is leaning upon a cross-bow, while a boy runs to him holding an apple cut in pieces as if an arrow had passed through it.

4. A glade in the forest. Natives of the land are gathered about a group of three persons; one of these kneels, his hands bound; another is in the act of throwing herself upon him ; the third has swung up above the two a heavy club, which is about to fall.

5. A king of ancient times, unable to untie a very complicated knot, cut it through with a blow of his sword. This he did that he might fulfil a certain prophecy.

6. The scene is a park, before a large and magnificent palace. Standing about it are many courtiers, and amongst them is their king. They are all looking anxiously at a noble and spirited horse, who is prancing about in the midst of the assembly, and who will not allow any one to mount him.

All at once a youth springs forward, and, taking the bridle, caresses the horse and endeavors to quiet him; then, taking off a kind of cloak which he is wearing, he springs lightly on his back, and in a little time the animal flies across the plains at the top of his speed, to the pleasure and admiration of the spectators. Then, having satisfied himself with running, he returns to the assembly, who load the youth with praise, and congratulate him on his good success.

1. The fight between the Horatii and the Curiatii.

2. Socrates drinking the fatal hemlock.

3. William Tell, after shooting the apple from his son’s head.

4. Pocahontas saving John Smith.

5. Alexander cutting the Gordian knot.

6. Alexander mounting Bucephalus.

Review: As a review exercise, let one of the pupils stand in front of the class, and the others in turn ask her questions. In case of failure, the one who has asked the last question is to exchange places with the pupil on the floor.
