Words of encouragement for parents feeling like they fall short of meeting the often unattainable expectations set forth in some of those parenting guides out there. This excerpt in my favorite. We actually have a friend who is an absolute genius, but God bless him, cannot hold down a job or maintain relationships to save his life. Ultimately, a parent’s goal should not be to skyrocket a child’s IQ, BUT TO PREPARE HIM FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE, Kennedy-Moore says. “Our intention in reading to our kids or having conversations with them isn’t all about trying to make them smarter. These things are deeply important for the right here, right now relationship,” she says. “A parent’s job is to help kids learn the skills they’ll need throughout life – being able to learn, handle frustration, build relationships, and figure out what matters to them.” https://yahoo/parenting/can-parents-make-kids-smarter-101876063162.html
