Parents are obsessed with their children and when given the chance they can go on and on what Tommy is good at and how perfect he is blablabla. If you meet crazy moms, prepare for photos, videos, and demonstrations. Before jumping right into it, it is important to note that all children are special in their own way and no comparison should be done. Nurture each child differently according to their strengths and interests. That said, it always helps when you’re raising a child who is mentally and emotionally smart. While different parameters can be used to measure their intelligence, it is not always about education. With some observation, you should be able to pick some of these signs that are associated with children considered to be above average.
