I have been receiving an editor’s article for brainyzine from time to time… It’s quite a good read. So I’m sharing this with you:
Hi Janet,
Traditional parenting techniques always relied on teaching children how to study for school, study hard and get very good grades. Scholastic and academic achievement were two of the most important yardsticks that were used to measure the individual’s intelligence and skills. However, well-known academicians and education experts now believe that scholastic and academic skills are not only the parameters needed to ensure your child’s success. Your children need more sophisticated and polished brain building abilities and capacities that can provide a forward momentum to build their future life from scratches.
Smart play is a technique of using highly productive, interactive and beneficial playtime specially designed and created for your growing children. Smart play is also a playtime that can help your child learn how senses work and in what way they can help them to develop their intellect. Smart play is a new and modern term that helps your child develop basic brain based skills and talent that go far beyond the conventional type of intelligence that is restricted mainly to academic performance.
Active and smart play provides your child an exciting time of learning and mastering unique life skills that will go a long way in ensuring both professional and personal success. There are a number of skills and processes that your children simply cannot learn and master, unless they apply the basic principles of smart play. Brain building through smart play is a continuous process that helps you build your child’s brain by empowering to critically think, seriously probe and evaluate complex things that occur around them.
There are several ways and methods that help parents develop their children’s brain. While unconventional methods help you to create your own smart play episodes inside your house, corporate toy manufacturers design and create some of the most thoughtful and ingenious smart playthings and toys that can help your child develop a number of important skills like cognitive, fine motor, social, mechanical and critical thinking skills. All the best!
