Want your kids to be happy and successful? Well, then couples should spend less time striving to be perfect parents - and instead try to be perfect spouses.

The advice comes from family therapist and Wall Street Journal writer David Code in a new book entitled To Raise Happy Kids, Put Your Marriage First .

He said that kids become demanding and dissatisfied if they receive too much attention from over-anxious ‘helicopter parents’ who hover over them constantly.

Instead, parents should leave their children to forge their own path and instead focus on having a fulfilled marriage to provide them with a stable backdrop, Code suggested.

His book argues that parents who channel all their energy into their children are not only doing themselves a disservice but their offspring too.

“Today’s number one myth about parenting is that the more attention we give our kids, the better they’ll turn out,” the Telegraph quoted Code as telling The Observer.

“But families centred on children create anxious, exhausted parents and demanding, entitled children. We parents today are too quick to sacrifice our lives and our marriages for our kids. Most of us have created child-centred families, where our children hold priority over our time, energy and attention.

“But as we break our backs for our kids, our marriage and self-fulfilment go out the window while our kids become more demanding and dissatisfied,” he added.

Code said that the ”greatest gift” parents can give their children is to set them an example with a healthy, happy marriage.

There are smart people and backward people in this world. Why is it? Whether a person is smart or not depends on whether he uses his right brain. Blakeslee claims that the use of the right brain is the answer to the enhancement of creativity; a smart person uses his right brain which is in charge of his creativity.
Why were the geniuses in history as they were? There is much evidence to show that all geniuses used their right brain extensively. Pierre Clement, the author of Hypnosis and Power Learning, noticed when he was researching their biographies, that there are some common elements in great people’s lives. They often referred to a special condition of consciousness, described variously as ‘enraptured’, ‘daydreaming’, ‘selflessness’ or ‘extraordinariness’.

These states are the Altered States of Consciousness (ASC).

All geniuses had the habit of slipping into the ASC. That was the difference between them and the ordinary people.

In the past there was no known means to reach ASC or to use the right brain effectively. As research on the brain advanced, these means also became clear to us.

If you understand the way to use the right brain, you can turn anyone into someone intelligent and creative. I can assure you that if anyone comes to learn how to use his right brain, he will uncover the hidden abilities that exist in all of us.

In the past education was done mainly through language. We relied heavily on the study method that taught the left brain through language. Acquiring knowledge was expected to activate the work of the brain.

Today, it is safe to say that everyone keenly realizes that this educational method is not effective. Teaching pieces of knowledge is the educaton of the past. Many people have come to realise that creativity, the catchword of the day, has a relationship to right brain functions.

How can we draw out the power of the right brain in which the non verbal mind works? To do so, we should enhance the imaging ability in the brain. The right brain is called the image brain. Therefore, right brain education is through imagery, not through language. The principles and methods of right – brain education are totally different from those of left – brain education, which has been continuing of r hundred years in Japan. You may experience some difficulties in getting used to this new method, but once you get to know it well, you will find it a most effective study method. You will be amazed.

When did the notion of IQ come about? In 1908, Binet and Simon of France established a method of measuring intellectual faculties. Their methods became widely known as an IQ test and was highly praised as one of the most important achievements of modern psychology.

The IQ or ‘Intelligence Quotient’ test was designed to evaluate, in a child of low intellectual faculties, the degree of delay in development. For a few years prior to the completion of this intelligence measurement method, Binet had been studying the value of intelligence tests. Binet first felt the need to improve the method of measuring intelligence in 1904 when he was appointed by the education minister of France as a member of a panel for identifying low intelligence children in the paris public schools. In 1905, he established the first edition of the “Binet – Simon intelligence measurement scale”. This test was welcomed quite enthusiastically since it could measure a child’s intelligence easily.

Nowadays, this IQ test is rather considered as a method for the measurement of genius. If a child’s score is higher than 140 in this test, he is called a genius. Are all children geniuses if they score higher than 140?
The IQ test certainly detects intelligence. A highly intelligent person may score high in an IQ test. But a person who scores high in this test is not necessarily intelligent. Similarly, a person who scores low in these tests is not necessarily low in intelligence.

If this is so, intelligence tests do not measure the test taker’s intelligence accurately. Now, what is an intelligence test anyway? What is intelligence? Can the intelligence of a genius be measured by a test on a piece of paper?

The dictionary defines intelligence as “the work of the brain to understand things and to think”. An “intelligence Quotient” means “an index to show the degree of intellectual development that will be calculated by the test takers mental ageon an IQ test by his chronological age and multiplying by 100. Note, that the index of an IQ test ranges from 49 to 152. 46% of the test takers score from 91 through 109. Hardly 1% score more than 140. In other words, a childs IQ merely shows this childs development stage compared to other children of the same age, and does not show whether or not he is a genius.

It seems that rue intelligence cannot be measured by an IQ test; true intelligence seems to be demonstrated as something else. We should not be satisfied with good results on an IQ test. Instead, we should understand what intelligence is and then think of the proper way to develop it.

What can I do to make sure my child is eating healthy?

 It is easy to make sure that your pre-schooler is eating healthy because you’re responsible for all of their meals and snacks.  The difficulty begins when your child starts school, and you no longer have control over what they are eating and when. If you start teaching your child how to make healthy food choices from an early age, you are setting your child up for a lifetime of healthy eating habits. 

Keep plenty of fruits and vegetables on hand for healthy snacking, and restrict refined sugar as much as possible from day one.

How should I deal with a picky eater?

Young children will frequently become picky eaters, or go through phases where they want to eat only specific types of foods. This is really nothing to be concerned about. These phases tend to come and go and unless they last for an extended period of time there is little chance of them becoming problematic. As long as your child is healthy overall and is within a normal weight and height range, your pediatrician will most likely tell you to just wait out the phase and not worry.  Pay attention to what your child is eating over the course of a week or month, and you are likely to discover that she is eating a healthy diet in the long run.

How do I decide whether to give my child vitamins?

A good multi-vitamin is a smart choice for children and adults.  Many of the vitamins and minerals our bodies need are not easily absorbed from the foods we eat. So supplementing is a good idea. There are many different varieties, containing different combinations. You should opt for a children’s formula, and consider asking your pediatrician for a recommendation. 

How should I deal with a child who will not eat three meals a day?

Understanding and patience are your best allies in this situation. As any pediatrician will tell you, it is very common for young children to eat only one or two full meals over the course of a day. Instead of eating the rest of their food in sit down meals, they often tend to “graze” on smaller portions throughout the day.  This may be because your child does not need as much food as you’re assuming. The average toddler only needs a few tablespoons at each meal. To make sure your child is getting enough to eat, help her to make healthy choices throughout the day by keeping on hand baskets of fresh fruits, cut up vegetables and other healthy snacks in portioned containers.

How can I get my child to try new foods?

 Every parent dreams of having a child who is willing to eat just about anything. However, most wake up to the nightmare of children who are quite restrictive in the foods that they will eat without an argument.  The solution starts with the first foods that you feed your infant, and continues throughout your child’s early years.  Some parents will have a rule that their children must try one bite of every food being served.  Other parents concentrate on providing a large variety of tasty foods, hoping that their children will start to try new things.  Either route is a good idea, it really just depends on whether you are bothered by a picky child. The other alternative is to wait it out, knowing that in most cases, a picky child will grow up to be an adult who is willing to eat most foods.
