=Diet, Parental Behavior and Preschool Can Boost Children's IQ =   Early Childhood: Measuring Intelligence  The measurement of a child’s intelligence depends on their capabilities in attentiveness, communication of the information they absorb, along with how well they perform mentally. Factors of intelligence include problem solving, memory, and etcetera. A collaboration of doctoral students and professors, using a technique called meta-analysis were able to determine that diet and environment during childhood can play a role in the child’s IQ. Certain vitamins and foods given to pregnant women were proven to aid in the increase of a child’s IQ. Early education for a child who is of lower economic standard has also been proven by this study to improve the IQ. The study suggests that because these environments would be more stimulating for the child, the IQ will develop higher. In children under 4, the meta-analysis technique showed a significantly higher IQ in children whose parents were taught to read interactively with them and engage the child while reading. Another important factor in intelligence the study revealed was attending pre school; especially those that had focus on language development. Not only would pre school enhance language skills, it would also afford the brain more cognitive stimulation than that of a child who had not attended.   @http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/01/130125111339.htm
