#13 - Nurture Your Child's Intelligence

Assalaamualaikum & Greetings! Welcome to Cool Mum Super Dad, your companion on this rollercoaster ride called parenthood. I'm your host, Jamilah Samian, a parenting author and speaker. In this episode, I explore the concept of intelligence by focusing on practical, everyday aspects which are things your children would encounter in their daily lives. "Intelligence is the ability to learn from experiences, solve problems, understand complex ideas, and adapt to new situations." Whether you’re an extrovert or an introvert, the most important thing is connecting with your child in a way that feels natural to you while also meeting their needs. Learn how you can raise a smart, intelligent child through real, face-to-face, human interactions. Real, face-to-face human interactions in the form of words, gestures and touch ensure that your son or daughter is getting the daily dose of connection they need to grow into intelligent adults. Whatever good is in this work is from Allah; any shortcomings are mine alone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MORE RESOURCES: Hop over to my website, www.coolmumsuperdad.com BOOK ORDERS: To order my books, click the link: Cool Mum Super Dad Book Order.
