The advantages of having smart kids

The common mistaken goals of having smart kinds are as opportunities to show off or as investment/retirement plan for the parents. But actually there are more advantages of having smart kids:

• Better emotional control, kids with better cognitive brain tends to have better emotional brain also (since both functions operate in the same hardware). Kids with better emotional control cost less energy to manage. A smart kid also tends to have better empathy and self-control/self-discipline.

• Better reasoning. For example  if your child is nagging about getting candies, he will lessen his nagging as you explain to him that too much sweet is not healthy.

• Jokes. Smart kids are capable to make jokes (that demand higher abstract thinking and language skills), bring more fun to the family.

• A smart kid can express his feelings in words better. It brings happiness to the parents to hear  lovely comments express beautifully by their sweetheart.

• Early family fun, for example how earlier your child can skiing or playing music, how earlier you can enjoy family fun together (e.g. skiing together, family music band etc.)

• Some smart kids are more calm (e.g. prefer reading books or practicing piano for hours thus giving more rest time for their parents). Bur some kids can be very wild with active imaginations and demand his parents to assist/teach him frequently (e.g. lego, crafts projects, sport practices).

• Better safety. For example some babies can differentiate the small stuffs that he found on the floor with food, reducing choking risk. Nevertheless be careful that a smart kind can still have unreliable self-control, so having a smart kid doesn't mean that you don't need to baby proof your home nor watch him while crossing the streets, playing nearby water, skiing alone, etc. Smart kids know also how to call emergency numbers and to communicate the necessary information to the operator.

• Helper for parents. A smart kid can help with chores (e.g. do the dishes, clean the garden) earlier than other child. A kid with observation & memory skills can help his parents to find things at home. A smart kid can be handy as a human calculator for example to compare prices during shopping... lol
