YOGYAKARTA - Having children with a high IQ is certainly the dream of many parents. High intellectual intelligence (IQ) in children is often associated with a brighter future and a better chance of life. How to increase children's IQ can be learned by parents.

Children who have a high IQ are usually easier to solve problems, understand complex concepts, and make decisions well. This can help them in better education, get better jobs, and even have superior social skills.

Therefore, it is important for parents to know effective ways to increase the child's IQ from an early age.

Here are some ways to improve children's IQ that parents can apply to their children:

Good nutrition plays an important role in the development of children's brains. Providing foods rich in omega-3, such as salmon, sardines, or eggs, can help improve brain function.

In addition, foods rich in antioxidants, such as fruits and vegetables, are also important to protect brain cells from damage. Make sure your child gets balanced nutrition, including protein, carbohydrates, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals, because all these nutrients support optimal brain development.

Mental stimulation is very important for the development of the child's brain. You can invite children to play games that stimulate the brain such as puzzles, memory games, sudoku, or word games.

These activities can help improve the ability to think logically, memory, and the ability to solve problems. In addition, teach children to read from an early age. Reading helps children develop extensive vocabulary, language skills, and better understanding of the world around them.

Enough sleep is an important factor to increase the child's IQ. When children sleep, their brains process the information they have learned during that day, strengthen memories, and repair damaged brain tissue.

Children who are sleep deprived tend to have lower concentration and memory skills, which in the end can affect their IQ development. Make sure your child gets quality sleep with a fairly long duration according to his age.

Regular physical activity can increase blood flow to the brain, thus helping the brain get more oxygen and nutrients needed to function properly. Exercise can also stimulate good production of endorphins hormones for the mood, as well as increase the focus and learning ability of children.

Invite children to play outside the home, cycle, swim, or just run around the park to help improve their physical and mental health.

Art activities such as drawing, painting, or playing music can stimulate the development of the child's brain. Playing musical instruments, in particular, has been proven to help improve analytical thinking skills, creativity, and other cognitive skills.

Inviting children to engage in artistic activities can train their brains to think more flexibly and develop skills in various ways.

Children who get good emotional support from their parents tend to be more confident in facing new challenges. When children feel supported, they are more open to learning and trying new things.

Providing positive encouragement, praise, and appreciation for their efforts can increase children's motivation to learn and develop new skills. Positive mindset will help children overcome the fear of failure, so they are more daring to take risks and think more critically.

Excessive stress can inhibit the development of the child's brain. Therefore, it is important to teach children how to manage stress well. Invite them to talk about their feelings, teach relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, or do fun activities to reduce the pressure they feel.

Children who are able to manage stress well tend to have better cognitive abilities and are better prepared to face the challenges of life.

Children who are actively exploring the environment around them tend to have faster brain development. Encourage children to ask questions, find out, and try new things that attract them.

High curiosity will help children develop the ability to think critically, solve problems, and see things from various perspectives.

Those are some ways to increase the IQ of children that every parent needs to understand. A well-developed intelligence will be an important asset for children in achieving a better future. Also read the explanation of whether IQ is genetic.
