Dream - All this time we assume that smart children are smart because their parents are also smart. The genetic factor is often assumed to play a very important role in determining someone's intelligence.

It turns out that is not true. According to Dr. Ria Yoanita, a pediatric specialist, a child's intelligence due to genetic factors is only 20 percent. What really influences a child's intelligence is the environment and stimulation provided.

"Myth, it's a myth. So actually, for a child to achieve complete cognitive, spectacular, it depends on 20% being genetically correct, but 80% is the environment," answered Dr. Ria."

Doctor Ria explained, for this environmental factor consists of many aspects that greatly influence the intelligence of children. Such as nutritional intake, stimulation, and parenting.

He also emphasizes not only relying on good genetic factors. Because in the growth and development of children, stimulation from the environment actually has a greater influence.

When a child's weight does not reach the normal level, has slow motor development, or when problems arise, immediately conduct an examination. Do not be late because the process of growth and development cannot be repeated.

"So pay attention carefully. Don't rush to adjust but it turns out to be wrong. Because the impact might last until later, like that," message from Dr. Ria. Source: YouTube Nikita Willy"
