　　20分鐘的體育鍛煉

　　A Swedish study of over a million 18-year-olds showed that fitness does relate to a person's IQ.The specifics of how exercise affects brain growth and development is unclear, but studies show that for 9 and 10-year-olds, 20minutes of exercise before a test significantly improves test scores.

　　瑞典一項基于100萬18周歲人群的研究顯示，健康和一個人的智商息息相關。人們現在還不清楚體育鍛煉是怎樣影響大腦發育的，但是研究顯示，如果9至10歲在接受測驗前進行過20分鐘的體育鍛煉，測驗分數有顯著提高。

　　Studies from a California-based group called SRII nternational show that kids with regular bedtimes are better at languages,math, and reading.Preschool children should get at least eleven hours of sleep, and kids upto age 12 should try to get at least ten hours of sleep.

　　總部設在加州的斯坦福研究院的研究顯示，作息時間規律的小孩在語言、數學和閱讀等方面表現的比其他孩子要好。學齡前的兒童至少應該保證11個小時的睡眠，12歲的小孩也應該至少保證10個小時的睡眠。

　　Praise good effort, not intelligence

　　鼓勵孩子多嘗試，不要只注重結果

　　Your kids may be smart, but you should focus your praise on the effort they put into succeeding at tasks.Kids who are praised on intelligence often feel it is a fixed trait, and mistakes or failures severely hurt their self-confidence.Kids who are praised on effort often focus more on learning, and are not afraid of a challenge, or to fail and try again.

　　孩子們可能很聰明，但是父母更應該注重對孩子們完成任務時所作出的努力給與鼓勵。如果父母總是在孩子們獲得成功時才給與鼓勵的話，孩子們會認為這是一種固定的模式，任何錯誤或者失敗都會打擊到他們的自信心。被父母鼓勵多嘗試的孩子更多地注重學習，也不怕挑戰和失敗，他們會一次次的嘗試。

　　Learn a second language

　　學習一門外語

　　Early studies in this field have preliminarily shown that bilingual kids can focus better under pressure and focus better on relevant information.Research is being done still, but many argue that the peak of language learning ability ends before puberty.It has been shown that young children can learn new languages with nearly perfect fluency and pronunciation.

　　這一領域先前的研究表明，會說兩門語言的孩子在壓力環境下更能集中精神，對于相關信息的專注度也更高。相關方面的研究還在繼續，但是許多人認為，語言學習能力在青春期前達到頂峰，而后就保持在固定的水平。還有證據表明，孩子學習起新語言來會非常流暢，發音也更為準確
