Editorial Review:
Between birth and age five, your child has up to thirty IQ points at stake. Scientists now know that the human brain is undergoing a constant and dramatic transformation in the first years of life. During this peak time of development, every activity and experience leaves an indelible mark on your baby’s brain, for better or worse. The right kind of stimulation and nutrition will create connections in the brain that promote intelligence and raise IQ. The wrong kinds of activities and foods can stifle intellectual development, destroy brain cells, and leave your child more vulnerable to learning or behavior problems down the road. So, what can you do during the first five years to ensure that your child is primed to excel?The good news is that raising a smarter child is easier than you think. It doesn’t require making an investment in expensive equipment or high priced tutors. It’s as simple as playing the right games, serving the right foods, and maintaining a brain-enhancing environment in your home by eliminating common household toxins. In Raise a Smarter Child by Kindergarten by Dr. David Perlmutter, you’ll learn easy and highly effective strategies that can vastly improve your child’s brain power and reduce his or her chances of developing ADD and ADHD. For example, you can:• Stimulate Memory: Changing a component on the over-the-crib mobile every week makes the baby compare what was there before to what’s there now, reinforcing memory pathways in the brain that are critical for learning.• Spread out those shots: Schedule more frequent trips to the pediatrician for vaccinations, so that fewer shots are administered at once. Flooding the immune system with a cocktail of different vaccines can damage the nervous system. • Get rid of toxins: Protecting a child from neurotoxins found in foods, toys and even baby bottles can help preserve precious IQ points. Dr. Perlmutter provides a scientifically backed food and supplement plan for children and nursing mothers and details the many brain-building activities that you can do with your child. In addition, he reveals the numerous toys and household products that contain harmful, brain-damaging toxins and shows how to identify and combat common childhood problems like ADD and food allergies that may affect your child’s development. Your job over the first five years is to help your child build the best brain possible. With Dr. Perlmutter’s help, you can mine the countless opportunities you have each day to make your child smarter, happier and better prepared to excel.

Rating:  - Excellent book with some great suggestions (bad title though)
Despite the title (which I didn't like), I thought this book was one of the better ones I've read - it was well written and fun to read and gave me a lot of ideas as to things to do and consider and taught a lot (e.g., it never for a minute occurred to me that our wooden deck (which came with the house) might be made of arsenic-treated wood that could hurt our son). As someone who reads a lot of parenting books, I can highly recommend this one as one of the best and best written!
Rating: - Bravo1
I love this book. Kudos to the author for providing such insiteful information helping one to tap into the health related, learning issues of our children.
Rating: - Great Ideas
This book gave me some great ideas for how to make the best out of the time I spend with my 2 small children. It reminded me that you don't need a lot of fancy equipment or toys. Some notecards, items around the house, and an imagination is really all you need to help your children thrive. Very informative!
Rating: - A must for all parents!!!
This is a really good book. Very much informative in things that i would never think of, even though it made me super paranoid of the toxins, pill popping, over medicated culture we live today i still recommend this book to every parent and parents to be. Very easy to follow suggestions and even gives a supplementary guide. He is all for breast feeding which is a bonus! and still respects formula feed babies. Organic food is the best way to go and a toxin free home is what we should live in (even ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent Guide
I refer to this book constantly through the different growth stages that seem to occur way too fast. I found the info comprehensive; not many resources look at development from all of these angles. It's a great guide and brings attention to so many things that I would never have thought about.
