10 Easy Ways To Make Children Smarter

10 Easy Ways To Make Children Smarter [smarter bad credit]

Scientific research shows that intelligence is both genetic and environmental. Intelligence is also not fixed but can be increased because the brain develops new neurons and interconnections with stimulation.

A supportive environment fosters numerous aspects of intelligence. The following 10 easy ways to stimulate intelligence in children will provide an "enriched environment" for brain growth.

One: Love and Self-Esteem Improve Academic Performance

In a long series of experiments, Prescott Lecky, an American educational researcher, found a high correlation between low self-esteem and learning problems in children. [smarter bad credit]

He correctly theorized that by raising a child's self-esteem, learning performance would also improve.

His success stories include a poor speller who averaged 55% in spelling improved to 91% in six months, a Latin student who went from 30% to 84% after three encouraging conversations with a teacher, and a student considered to have no aptitude for English who improved over a semester to win the school's literary prize.

Two: Breast Fed Babies Are Smarter

Danish researchers found that mother's milk contained essential micronutrients for brain development. In fact, the longer the child was breast fed, the more the brain was nourished. For example, infants breast fed for 9 months were smarter than infants only breast-fed for two months.

Three: Proper Nutrition Improve Health And Nerve Conduction

Diets high in sugar, Trans fatty acids, and salt decreased health in children. Junk food failed to provide sufficient iron for healthy brain development, resulting in poor nerve impulses. Children with nutritional deficiency also missed school more often because of illness and fell behind their peers.

Four: Proper Breakfast Improves Attention At School [smarter bad credit]

Thirty years of research has shown a strong correlation between breakfast and mental alertness. Children who had nutritious breakfasts had better memory. They also concentrated better and absorbed more information during class. Those who had no breakfast or poor breakfast were more irritable and distracted during class.

Five: Exercise Benefits Intelligence And Personality

Research conducted by the University of Illinois showed that fitter children performed better academically. Besides the obvious physiological benefits of improved oxygen intake, blood flow, immune stimulation, and neural transmission, there was also a psychological and sociological component, too. Psychologically, fitter children showed higher self-esteem. Sociologically, those who participated in organized sports displayed more confidence, more cooperation, and spontaneous leadership.

Six: Musical Training Improves IQ Into Adulthood

Long-term research by the University of Toronto showed that organized music lessons benefited children all the way into adulthood. The longer the child studied music, the higher their IQs as adults. Music students also displayed better grades throughout their schooling.

Seven: Some Video Games Enhance Mental Acuity

Research by the University of Rochester found that certain video games improved sensory perception, strategic thinking, and planning ahead of time. The video games that created positive mental improvements had an educational element that improved motor skills and enhanced memory.

Eight: Mind Games Do More Than Entertain

Board games like chess, checkers, creative games like Lego and jigsaw puzzles, and brainteaser games like crosswords, cryptograms, riddles, and Sudoku improved intelligence. Specifically, they stimulated better decision-making, smarter analytical thinking, and more accurate problem solving.

Nine: Reading Improves Both Creativity And Logic

Whether a child was read to at bedtime, or actively read their own books, silently or aloud, they displayed increased left and right brain intellectual growth. Both fiction and non-fiction books improved creative imagination and logical, sequential thinking.

Ten: Nurturing Curiosity Creates An Open, Absorbent Mind

Curiosity, the urge to seek knowledge, is essential to improving intelligence in children. Conducting educational outings, teaching new skills, and supporting hobbies encouraged the development of curiosity.

These 10 ways of raising intelligence in children are easy to apply, practical, and within the reach of parents and teachers. Research has shown that they are highly effective in creating the environmental support children need to develop their intelligence.

Diabetes: Two Steps You Must Take to Avoid Vision Loss

Diabetes: Two Steps You Must Take to Avoid Vision Loss [avoid bad credit]

Back in the 1950's and 60's most people didn't rate diabetes as a major problem. Back then, all the focus was on dealing with more prominent diseases such as polio and tuberculosis. If diabetes was thought about, it was more in the context of cutting out sugar in your coffee, rather than as a serious threat to your eyesight or your life.

That's all changing. It's not too much to say that diabetes is now reaching epidemic levels in most of the western world. According to the American Diabetes Association there are over 20 million diabetics in the United States alone, with a staggering one third undiagnosed. It's also going to get a lot worse with another 41 million Americans already showing pre-diabetic signs. [avoid bad credit]

Diabetes is a disease that mostly affects blood vessels and in it's extreme forms can lead to serious heart disease, stroke and kidney damage. Clearly these life threatening diabetic vascular diseases deserve priority attention, but high on the critical list for diabetics is the risk of serious eye disease and loss of vision.

Vision is one of our most critical senses and in this "need for speed" information era, over 70% of our sensory information comes through our eyes. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, diabetics are 25 times more likely to lose vision than those who are not diabetic. With diabetes already being the number one cause of blindness in the United States, it's no wonder eye care professionals are predicting a devastating increase in vision loss as the diabetic epidemic grows alarmingly. [avoid bad credit]

Newly diagnosed diabetics often have nothing more than minor vision fluctuations which settle when blood sugar levels improve with treatment. Early on it's easy to believe everything is fine. After some years though, continuing high blood sugar can gradually damage the blood vessels at the back of the eye in the retina. This causes a problem called diabetic retinopathy and the longer you have diabetes the more likely you are to have retinopathy. The risk increases further when there is poor control of blood sugar levels. More than 70% of diabetics develop some changes in their eyes within 15 years of diagnosis.

Retinopathy is graded as Non-proliferative or Proliferative. Non-proliferative retinopathy is the common milder form, where small retinal blood vessels break and leak. There may be some mild retinal swelling but it rarely requires treatment unless it causes hazy central vision or straight lines appear bent.

Proliferative retinopathy is the less common, but more serious form where new blood vessels grow abnormally within the retina. If these vessel scar or bleed they can lead to potentially serious vision loss including blindness. Early laser treatment can seal leaking vessels and slow the progress of diabetic retinopathy, but can't reverse existing vision loss.

For now, there is no "magic pill" to eliminate the risk of diabetic eye damage, but you can do two important things to help prevent the more serious complications. Poor blood sugar control is one of the main causes of serious diabetic retinopathy. The critical first step is making sure you stabilize and control your blood sugar with a healthy diet and regular exercise. The second step is to make sure you have a yearly diabetic eye examination. An experienced eye care professional can pick up subtle diabetic eye changes long before you notice any vision change, and more importantly, early enough to do some good.

If you, or your family are affected by this rising tidal wave of diabetes: take action now to reduce your risk of vision loss. Don't be a victim!

Why You Should Have A Passion For Residual Income

Why You Should Have A Passion For Residual Income [income credit poor]

You really truly should have a burning passion to build a lasting residual income. What does income mean to you now? It means having the money to eat, have shelter, pay living expenses. You need a constant income to meet your needs and be comfortable.

Mostly people's income is obtained from the work they do, the hours they put in to a job. That situation poses problems. There is a real danger, which is also a common harsh reality many people have found themselves having to unexpectedly go through. Perhaps you right now are in the condition of being in between jobs.

Many have faced the tribulation of lost income. It is a dire situation that happens through being let go by your employer for any number of reasons or no reason at all. [income credit poor]

Downsizing, cutbacks, firings, weeding outs, whatever. Maybe you did something wrong. Maybe you did not. Maybe you got too close to retirement age. Maybe you got too worn out to keep up with production - getting overworked takes its toll. Maybe you've gotten ill, injured, or otherwise disabled.

In any case, having to work for a living means you are expendable and can be let go at any time. After all, there is an abundance of the unemployed looking for work. There is also an abundance of people who cannot make ends meet having just one job and need to get a second or even a third one.

Having reliable income is a very scarce and volatile thing. Many are struggling just to make it from paycheck to paycheck. But even the biweekly paycheck can be here today and gone tomorrow with little or no compensation available for the loss. What to do then?

What you have to do is not wait for then. Make things happen and grow rather than just maintaining yourself in a dead end job. The economic stability you get from working for others is transient. The reward and stability you get from working for yourself creating residual income can be great and lasting. It will also eliminate any worry about retirement finances. [income credit poor]

Network Marketing your own Independent MLM Home Business can give you the security we just cannot get from regular jobs anymore, let alone the abundance and prosperity we have never been able to get from regular jobs. It allows you to build residual income, override royalty income that will keep coming in even when you quit working.

There are plenty of legitimate MLM Business opportunities for you provided by companies who see Network Marketing as an ideal distribution system for their products and services. Investigate them. Do your due diligence and see if you can find one you can get impassioned about. Then share that passion with others and be set for life.

"Network marketing has proven itself to be a viable and rewarding source of income, and the challenges could be just right for you. There have been some remarkable examples of success, and those successes have been earned through diligence, enthusiasm and the right product combined with timing." -Donald Trump, famous real estate developer, star and co-producer of the hit television show The Apprentice

"I am often asked if network marketing is a pyramid scheme. My reply is that corporations are really pyramid schemes. A corporation has only one person at the top, generally the CEO, and everyone else below. A true network marketing business is the exact opposite of a traditional business model. The network marketing business is designed to bring you to the top not keep you at the bottom. A true network marketing business does not succeed unless it brings people to the top." -Robert Kiyosaki, author of the New York Times and international best-seller listed book Rich Dad Poor Dad

Those two quotes from the "Your Business" volume 2 issue 2 article called, "Why We Recommend Network Marketing" by Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump shows that MLM has really come of age and is worthy of serious consideration. They also provide ammunition to prevent naysayers from dampening your enthusiasm.

So what do you want to do? Stay poor and keep getting poorer working for someone else? Or get RICH in Network Marketing!

What Does Your Handwriting Reveal About You?

What Does Your Handwriting Reveal About You? [bad credit loan]

Did you know it’s possible to learn more about the character and personality of someone just by looking at their handwriting? So if you ever wondered why you and your brother always fought or why you and your significant other seem so “perfect” for each other, a quick look at their handwriting may hold some fascinating insights! Grab a piece of unlined paper and write a few short sentences about today’s weather. Then, follow the steps below to see how your handwriting measures up!

1. First, look at the overall size of your handwriting. Is it large and overwhelming, or small and unobtrusive? The size of your writing reflects your self-esteem and ego. The larger it is, the greater self-confidence and self-worth you have. Smaller handwriting may reveal that you’re not entirely comfortable or confident in yourself and you may feel as if you’re not deserving of attention or affection.

2. Second, look at the spacing between your words. Are there clear, even spaces, or are your words jumbled together? The distance between your words shows how close you like to be to others. If you space your words unusually far apart, it may be an indicator of loneliness. If all of the words flow together in one large heap – you may need to ease off and give those around you some space – literally! [bad credit loan]

3. Look at the strength and pressure of what you’ve written. Are the strokes of your letters dark and bold, or light and airy? Heavy, thick lines may denote aggression or frustration. Light, wispy pressure may indicate sadness or overall displeasure with life. An even, flowing pressure shows overall contentedness and flexibility to adjust to just about anything life throws at you.

4. Notice how you dot your i’s and cross your t’s. Adding embellishments such as circles and hearts indicate your desire to be different and stand out. You’ll often see this style find its way into the handwriting of teenage girls, but eventually fade out as they grow more comfortable of their own individuality. Continuing to write i’s with flourishes and designs after the teenage years have passed can indicate childishness or a lack of maturity. The thickness and length of the cross of your t’s reveals your self-image. Crossing the t high on the bar indicates that you have a lofty opinion of yourself. Crossing them low indicates that you may have a poor self-image, and crossing them in the middle shows that you’re fairly contented with the way you are.

5. Notice how you write your g’s, j’s and y’s as these are indicators of social skills. Do you loop them with a large flourish? This shows that you’re comfortable around people and perhaps a bit of a social butterfly. Straight, angular marks (without loops) reveal that you may not be at ease with the opposite sex, or may have recently gone through a breakup or a painful relationship.

6. Look at the spacing between your sentences. Even spacing shows that you’re organized (well, more than most people!) and that you manage your time well. If your words seem to get tangled up into the line above or below, it reveals that your ideas or goals have a tendency to fall through due to a lack of planning or outright confusion. [bad credit loan]

7. Find out how well you communicate with others by looking at the loops and closings of your a’s and o’s. If your writing is wide open, you have a tendency to be open and expressive as well. If your writing is narrow and closed, you’d rather keep to yourself and aren’t very comfortable in a crowd. A large loop inside of the a or around the top of the o may reveal a shady character who tends to hide the truth. Be careful!

There are a lot of other nuances and details to analyzing your handwriting, but these are just a few that give insight into your character. There are also sites online where you can view handwriting samples from everyone from modern superstars to military leaders and notorious criminals. One of the best is http://www.myhandwriting.com/celebs/ . Study the handwriting of those around you and compare it to your own and see what it reveals about you. You may just find out that you’ve been made of the “write stuff” all along!

How to Boost Your Traffic and Profits with Content!

How to Boost Your Traffic and Profits with Content! [traffic profit credit]

Are you aware of how vitally important and valuable CONTENT is to your online business? In fact, content can do more to build your business and profits than just about any other resource or service available.

Following is a list of 5 key ways that content can help build your traffic, subscribers, and customers starting today!...

1. Boost your search engine ranking and daily visitor count by posting keyword rich articles and content on your web-site. For example, if your business involves offering products and services related to fitness, posting fitness related articles and content will attract unlimited prospective customers on a regular basis! [traffic profit credit]

2. Generate double or even triple the number of newsletter subscribers you do currently, simply by offering content in the form of "special reports" or manuals as bonuses for subscribing to your publication. People love freebies, so give them what they want and watch as your results increase!

3. Create an automated cashflow by using content to formulate multi-part email training courses with related web-site or affiliate links "sprinkled" throughout each course. Use an autoresponder service to automate the delivery of your training course (such as a 5 part training course delivered over a 5 day period).

Training courses can also serve as excellent bonus offers for your prospective newsletter subscribers.

4. One of the most important keys to a successful online business is not JUST having a list of mailing list or newsletter subscribers... It's about building a trusting relationship with your subscribers (ie, "cultivating" your list)...

By sending informative articles (content) to your list on a regular basis you will establish yourself as an expert on your topic of business, as well as gain the trust of your subscribers over time. As a result, your subscribers will be EAGER to take advantage of your "paid" product and service offers. (Just make sure that you NEVER take advantage of the relationship you develop with your list by offering products or services of poor quality just to make a quick buck!) [traffic profit credit]

If there is one "constant" in Internet marketing, it's this: A cultivated list of subscribers is as good as money in the bank. Write that down and never forget it!

5. Another excellent way to generate no cost traffic is by submitting ready-made articles to "content hungry" web-site and newsletter publishers with your "resource box" attached. A resource box is nothing more than a little 3-6 line "bio" about you and/or your web-site - including a link to your site (or even instructions on how to subscribe to your newsletter)...

When submitting or offering your article(s) for reprint purposes, just make sure to specify that each article is to be reprinted "as is" with your resource box attached.

...Even one article can go a LONG way towards generating no cost traffic and visitors for you. Just imagine your article being sent out to a newsletter subscriber base of 100,000 individuals - many of whom will be reading YOUR included resource box and clicking on your URL to learn more about what you have to offer!

Well there you have it, 5 sure ways to build your online business exponentially with the help of articles and content...

With the declining effectiveness of many of the online advertising methods that we've relied on in past years, content is only strengthening its position as the ultimate KEY to generating unlimited traffic, subscribers, and customers!

GPS Child Tracking Barriers Falling

GPS Child Tracking Barriers Falling [gps child poor]

GPS technology has been available for some time. The array of satellites originally designed for government and security use now provide consumers with a great deal of desired information. Demand for GPS products has exploded, as drivers rely on GPS-based systems for travel directions, and sportsmen and adventurers use GPS technology for their safety.

Tracking the whereabouts of children is an intuitive use for GPS, but until recently, there were not many products available in the marketplace.

GPS systems were not shelved due to fears of inadequate consumer demand. Partents are very attracted to the idea of GPS tracking and have already started purchasing GPS child tracking systems in earnest. Demand for these products was correctly assumed to be very high from the beginning. Concerns reguarding potential liability and public relations issues associated with product failure, however, did slow the development of child tracking GPS technologies. Recently, however, a spate of new GPS products designed to help track children demonstrate that these worries are disappearing. [gps child poor]

Manufacturers have been considering child tracking GPS systems for some time. However, there were significant liability concerns that stood in the way of widespread release. If a product were designed and advertised as a mechanism to provide a greater degree of child safety, any system failure could have disastrous consequences. It is not hard to imagine a parent pursuing civil legal action against a manufacturer in the event a GPS system failed to provide accurate information in the case of a missing child, for instance. A consideration of the potential damages in a case of this sort, and the expenses inherent in defending against it, served as a strong disincentive for those contemplating the sale of GPS child tracking systems.

Regardless of the outcome of any court activity, manufacturers were also keenly aware that any product failure could represent a serious public relations problem. Missing child cases, for instance, are often highly publicized. Should a child who was using malfunctioning GPS tracking technology "disappear", providers realized they would receive a surplus of very negative publicity, as the media would undoubtedly point out the product failure again and again. If one considers a high-profile child abduction case and the attendant media coverage, they can begin to understand the possible negative ramifications to a GPS tracking system producer.

Today, however, GPS tracking systems are being made available to the public. The introduction of these child safety tools are a direct outgrowth of product imporvement and increased reliablity. Child tracking system providers are comfortable that their products will function effectively and "as advertised". The high level of reliance found in current GPS child tracking offerings has overcome two of the formerly experienced barriers to product introduction. [gps child poor]

It may be too soon to aruge that child tracking via GPS is "foolproof" or one hundred percent reliable. However, the influx of new products clearly illustrates that producers are convinced their products will perform correctly. Considering the potential downside of a poor performing GPS tracking device or system, manufacturers would not release these new products without a solid belief in their functionality.
