How to Increase Infant Intelligence

Introduction

Most parents are willing to do whatever it takes to further their infant's development. Though part of intelligence will always be genetic, certain activities and exposure can advance a child when it comes to learning and develop.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Steps

1

Step One

Understand that doing something early does not mean it is better. If a child walks or talks earlier than most, it is not accurate to state this early development equates to added intelligence.
2

Step Two

Give your baby opportunities to learn through new activities and experiences. For babies, play is the most valuable work there is. Blowing bubbles, banging on a pan with a wooden spoon, making a bell ring and pushing elevator buttons all are important as they teach cause and effect.

Step Three

Let baby fully explore surroundings, with your involvement. Splashing in bath water, touching flowers, rolling in the grass or squishing bare feet in mud are physical properties the child can learn from.

Step Four

Teach language through frequent communication. In addition to everyday chatter, sing, babble and read to your baby, allowing him to experience the fun of language. While changing a diaper or swinging in the rocker, make sounds to create a "conversation" even before your baby can form words.

Step Five

Help your child learn by allowing him or her to experience mastery of interaction with others. Respond immediately when he cries, laugh when he laughs, and stop play when he doesn't respond or seems warn out. The child learns he has the power to affect his environment.
