　　A Swedish study of over a million 18-year-olds showed that fitness does relate to a person's IQ.The specifics of how exercise affects brain growth and development is unclear, but studies show that for 9 and 10-year-olds, 20minutes of exercise before a test significantly improves test scores.

　　瑞典一项基于100万18周岁人群的研究显示，健康和一个人的智商息息相关。人们现在还不清楚体育锻炼是怎样影响大脑发育的，但是研究显示，如果9至10岁在接受测验前进行过20分钟的体育锻炼，测验分数有显著提高。

　　Reading with your kids

　　Put kids to bed early

　　让孩子早点睡觉

　　Studies from a California-based group called SRII nternational show that kids with regular bedtimes are better at languages,math, and reading.Preschool children should get at least eleven hours of sleep, and kids upto age 12 should try to get at least ten hours of sleep.

　　总部设在加州的斯坦福研究院的研究显示，作息时间规律的小孩在语言、数学和阅读等方面表现的比其他孩子要好。学龄前的儿童至少应该保证11个小时的睡眠，12岁的小孩也应该至少保证10个小时的睡眠。

　　Praise good effort, not intelligence

　　鼓励孩子多尝试，不要只注重结果

　　Your kids may be smart, but you should focus your praise on the effort they put into succeeding at tasks.Kids who are praised on intelligence often feel it is a fixed trait, and mistakes or failures severely hurt their self-confidence.Kids who are praised on effort often focus more on learning, and are not afraid of a challenge, or to fail and try again.

　　孩子们可能很聪明，但是父母更应该注重对孩子们完成任务时所作出的努力给与鼓励。如果父母总是在孩子们获得成功时才给与鼓励的话，孩子们会认为这是一种固定的模式，任何错误或者失败都会打击到他们的自信心。被父母鼓励多尝试的孩子更多地注重学习，也不怕挑战和失败，他们会一次次的尝试。

　　Learn a second language

　　学习一门外语

　　Early studies in this field have preliminarily shown that bilingual kids can focus better under pressure and focus better on relevant information.Research is being done still, but many argue that the peak of language learning ability ends before puberty.It has been shown that young children can learn new languages with nearly perfect fluency and pronunciation.

　　这一领域先前的研究表明，会说两门语言的孩子在压力环境下更能集中精神，对于相关信息的专注度也更高。相关方面的研究还在继续，但是许多人认为，语言学习能力在青春期前达到顶峰，而后就保持在固定的水平。还有证据表明，孩子学习起新语言来会非常流畅，发音也更为准确
