Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature didn’t finish your child’s brain at birth. It’s up to you to maximize your child’s mental skills without causing additional stress. Acclaimed neurologist and bestselling author of Grain Brain, David Perlmutter, MD, offers these valuable tools: Simple games to reinforce memory pathways in the brain Information on common household products and children’s toys that contain brain-damaging neurotoxins The right foods and supplements to boost intelligence and turn on your child’s smart genes How to turn the television, the computer, and video games into educational tools Proven ways to reduce the risk of your child developing ADD and ADHD Between birth and age five, your child has up to thirty IQ points at stake. Scientists now know that the human brain is undergoing a constant and dramatic transformation in the first years of life. During this peak time of development, every activity and experience leaves an indelible mark on your baby’s brain, for better or worse. The right kind of stimulation and nutrition will create connections in the brain that promote intelligence and raise IQ. The wrong kinds of activities and foods can stifle intellectual development, destroy brain cells, and leave your child more vulnerable to learning or behavior problems down the road. So, what can you do during the first five years to ensure that your child is primed to excel? The good news is that raising a smarter child is easier than you think. It doesn’t require making an investment in expensive equipment or high priced tutors. It’s as simple as playing the right games, serving the right foods, and maintaining a brain-enhancing environment in your home by eliminating common household toxins. In Raise a Smarter Child by Kindergarten by Dr. David Perlmutter, you’ll learn easy and highly effective strategies that can vastly improve your child’s brain power and reduce his or her chances of developing ADD and ADHD. For example, you can: Stimulate Memory: Changing a component on the over-the-crib mobile every week makes the baby compare what was there before to what’s there now, reinforcing memory pathways in the brain that are critical for learning. Spread out those shots: Schedule more frequent trips to the pediatrician for vaccinations, so that fewer shots are administered at once. Flooding the immune system with a cocktail of different vaccines can damage the nervous system. Get rid of toxins: Protecting a child from neurotoxins found in foods, toys and even baby bottles can help preserve precious IQ points. Inside, Dr. Perlmutter provides a scientifically backed food and supplement plan for children and nursing mothers and details the many brain-building activities that you can do with your child. In addition, he reveals the numerous toys and household products that contain harmful, brain-damaging toxins and shows how to identify and combat common childhood problems like ADD and food allergies that may affect your child’s development. Your job over the first five years is to help your child build the best brain possible. With Dr. Perlmutter’s help, you can mine the countless opportunities you have each day to make your child smarter, happier and better prepared to excel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps the most challenging and important role that adults play in society is that of raising children. Every parent and teacher hopes to help children develop into healthy, caring, and intelligent adults. Keeping Kids Safe, Healthy, and Smart is designed for all adults who interact with kids-whether they be parents, teachers, or other caregivers-and provides specific suggestions for keeping children safe from hidden and open dangers wherever they spend time. This book is organized around three different themes of major threats and hidden dangers to children in our country: threats in school spaces (e.g., in classrooms, on buses, on playgrounds, and on sports teams); threats in cyberspace (bullying or harassment and child predators or child pornography), threats in other spaces where children work and play (intrapersonal and interpersonal violence including a wide range of threats such as self-mutilation, accidents, abuse, environmental threats, drugs, and mental illness).
Download or read book Eat Yourself Smarter written by Michelle Stacey and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eat Yourself Smarter offers techniques to sharpen your memory, improve your focus, boost your energy, make you feel happier, and help you loive longer. We’ve all heard “you are what you eat,” and science now has the receipts on how profoundly foods affect the human brain. From an evolutionary standpoint, our brains were formed to thrive on certain nutrients—and our current diet is often deficient in many of them. East Yourself Smater offers readers a guide to eating in a way that boosts their cognitive function, improves their mood, and lowers their risk of developing dementia or other degenerative neurological conditions. We start with a detailed explanation of exactly how hungry the brain is (the answer: very), and how nutrients do their job to not only feed it well but repair brain-cell membranes, enable synapses to communicate, and prompt chemical “cascades” that keep memory centers functioning at top efficiency. Next, we present a comprehensive diet plan of the very best “brain foods,” from fruits and vegetables to nuts, seeds, healthy fats, and proteins, along with explanations of what makes them brain “superfoods”—along with an “out list” of foods that actively damage brain cells. BONUS: Includes 20+ pages of delicious, brain-boosting recipes to get started on a new, smarter eating program.
