| To score high on all 9 intelligence's in your child. A Genius Geniuses are people who see opportunities in 'no win' situations. Geniuses are people who can make a world of connections between two seemingly unrelated pieces of information. Assuming that all human beings are born with more or less similar mental capabilities, how is it that only a few of us are considered geniuses? and some of us are considered as poor performers? The Human Brain Our brain consists of two hemispheres - the left and the right, each with their individual set of attributes. For instance, the ability to form words lie primarily in the left hemisphere, whereas the right hemisphere controls many abstract reasoning skills. These two hemispheres communicate by connections between neurons. All sensations, thoughts, movements, memories, and feelings are a result of signals that pass through these neurons. It is the interconnections between these neurons that determine the intelligence of a child. The brain of a genius shows more interconnections between neurons. These connections between neurons can be developed using stimulating thinking exercises. 9 SMART is a program that has been designed, to exercise the brains of young children to ensure, an increase in the number of connections between the neurons. Once neurons initiate these new connections - there is no limit to which the brain can tap the various intelligence's. Multiple Intelligence's Theory In the early 1980's, Howard Gardner - a professor at the Harvard University and author of many books and articles came up with the theory of multiple intelligence's. Through his studies - nine different types of intelligence's were identified in children. They are:

What to Eat to Improve Bad Memory
By Melvin Richardson, eHow Contributor
·
If you have a bad memory, it's a good idea to think about improving your diet. There are a number of foods you can eat that will help improve your memory. You have to stick to a healthier lifestyle, and eat foods that improve your memory. A healthy diet will also help you wipe out health conditions that contribute to a memory loss and age-related symptoms.
1. Antioxidants
o If you want to improve your memory, then you need to consume foods that contain large amounts of antioxidants. When antioxidants are in your system, they help more oxygen circulate throughout the body which, in turn, stimulates brain activity. Antioxidants also help the body destroy free radicals, which are responsible for a number of diseases and illnesses. Foods that contain antioxidants are broccoli, red kidney beans, blueberries, strawberries, tomatoes, red grapes and garlic. Antioxidants help the flow of oxygen to the brain. Foods which contain Vitamin C, Vitamin E and beta carotene are considered to be antioxidants.
Vitamin C
o There are a number of other foods to help improve your memory. They include asparagus, kale, sweet potatoes and cantaloupe. Other foods that boost memory by improving your blood circulation are cantaloupe, radishes, red cabbage, watermelon and cherries. All these foods have large portions of Vitamin C which keeps your immune system functioning at an optimal level. These foods also help you to stave off depression which contributes to decreased mental capacity and loss of memory.
Diabetes
o Diabetes is a disease that actually robs your memory. If you want to improve your memory and stop the onset of diabetes, consume large amounts of whole grains, vegetables, nuts and fruits on a regular basis. These foods allow you to get to the root of the problem concerning memory loss. These foods are also rich in fiber which allows them to help you fight diabetes.
Fish
o To improve your memory, you may want to incorporate some fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines into your diet. When you consume fish products, you are taking in polyunsaturated fats and omega-3s, which are important for memory enhancement. A large part of the brain is made up from fats, so the fish oils help improve your mental capacity and memory. Your brain needs these key ingredients to keep functioning at a high level.
Sweet Potatoes
o Another food that helps to improve memory and brain function is the sweet potato. This food has an abundant supply of Vitamin B6, along with ample amounts of carbohydrates and antioxidants. Your brain needs Vitamin B6 to manufacture neurotransmitters, which allows communication to take place within certain parts of the brain. Carbohydrates are also important to the brain because this is the only source of fuel that the brain will use.
