It is an almost universal dream of parents to have smart, lovely and genius kids. But the problem is, majority have little or no clue at all on ways to achieve this. Many thoughts this 'genius or smart' trait, gifted children are by chance rather than by choice. Is it true?
First of all, we do have SOME degree of control on the outcome of our children. And it all starts even before conception (ie before our 'egg' meets our spouse's 'egg').
To have a gifted/ genius/ smart kids, it has prerequisite. Our child must be a normal, healthy child. If the child have major brain abnormality, do you think he/ she can be genius?
So, what you need to do is/ are: (well before marriage/ even while planning to have babies)
1. Live a healthy life (well, this is a reminder to me as well). Healthy lifestyle, means especially a NO-NO to SMOKING and ALCOHOL. Various studies have shown the detrimental effects of these two culprits on the baby's health. So, if you are a smoker/ consume alcohol, and at the same time you want to have a normal, healthy baby, please find ways to stop smoking, and also become a tee-totaller.
2. Take folic acid 1 tab per day even before having sex/ getting pregnant (in medical term, it's called periconceptional). Studies have shown that folate can reduce the risk of neural tube defects (brain malformation) by up to 75%.
So, go and get your pills.
3. cant think anymore.. too sleepy, not having enough sleep last night. Ward was full, and my senior was so damn lousy.. such a bi*ch..
more tips will follow..
