CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Your IQ is not as fixed as you may think. Just like genes only influence a part of who we are, the intelligence level we are born with does not dictate our intelligence for life. Our environmental circumstances–like family circumstances, level of school, work environment, and health access–also matter.

Detailed explanation-2: -Current neuroscience research suggests that most newborn infants are born with the potential to achieve in many cognitive areas. There will be some genetic predispositions, but the child’s brain is extraordinarily malleable and “teachable”.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to many recent studies, genetics plays a bigger role in making someone smart or not than what was initially expected or hoped for. Several studies with twins2 and studies with fraternal siblings have identified intelligence as one of the highest heritable traits.

Detailed explanation-4: -While it is true that most of us have roughly the same brain structure, there is a whole lotta difference at the finer level of neural connections and neural density. We, individuals, have many differences. 80 billion neurons – each with 100s of 1000s of connections to other neurons.
