How is your reflection on children smart and genius? Do you think the kids were already genetically weak-brained and need not be taught anymore?

Superior generation did not grow by itself. The rate of growth and development and a child’s intelligence level was not influenced by heredity alone. There are three factors that influence each other, that is genetic or heredity, environmental factors, and nutritional factors. Genetic factors, although we can not change, only contribute about 30 percent. The rest, nutrition and environmental factors (nurture and stimulation), can be stimulated before and after child birth.

The experts found that 20 percent level of intelligence was formed in the womb. Fetal brain cells are formed since the age of three months in the womb and continue until the child is three to five years. The number grew to billions of brain cells, but no connection between cells. The quality and complexity of brain cells connection circuits was determined by environmental stimulation. Stimulation should be administered in an atmosphere of fun and loving.

If you, fathers, feel to have low commitment to children’s education process so that the relationship between father and son became less close, throw away the idea of “too late” off your mind! Prof. Rob Palkovitz, counselor and author of books about the involvement of fathers, warned, “Stop thinking about the past and focus your attention on where you want to go!” Here are some suggestions Palkovitz based on his research results, his interaction with his four children, and his experience in helping children whose fathers are absent from their side:

1. Focus on things that are true and positive for you and your child. For example, say to yourself, “What a proud dad worked hard to support a family,” without anything extra, and how different if there are additional, “But, how much better if my father was at home more often.” Instead, talk to your child, “How proud I am for being your father, son,” without ever adding the phrase, “But it would be more proud if you could clean your room.” If you can understand both cases, it means that you have gone through two steps in building a good relationship.

2. It took years to build relationships. Therefore understand where you are at this point and where do you want to be.

3. Life is built by the millions of “right now”. If you want to build good relationships with the children, start now.

4. Think about what you want children to say when they leave home: “My father always …” The words that you want the children to complete the sentence, then that’s the way to start changing your own attitudes. Want to be a good father?
