The opening page of this web site speaks about an undeniable truth: ‘Every child born on this planet IS a potential genius’. And the topic in discussion now is whether we can make a child ‘genius’. Do you smell any contradiction? or clash in ideas? Hold on.
In an effort to optimise our standard of living, we do dare to alter Nature: In order to fight atmospheric heat, we condition the air and in order to withstand cold, we warm our immediate surrounding till it suits us. Most of us see the child as some such ‘commodity’, hopefully fit to bend to our ways. And we are certain that our ways are right and WOULD DO HIM GOOD without fail.
Well, the intentions may be noble, but often wrong. We just need to STOP conditioning the child’s brain and just let him be - simply himself. This does not in anyway mean that the child can just be let loose and go astray and become uncontrollable, stubborn or violent.
Instead, the right way to help the child blossom into the little genius is here:Give him the right exposure, at the correct age. If “But how?” is the question that arises in your mind, I would suggest that you visit the other pages of this website for a thorough guidance.In families with more than one child, we often notice that the second born is almost always smarter than the eldest - more confident, more skilled and more eloquent in expression. 
I have observed that parent(s) of such children have actually been working really hard to mold the first-born, simply because he was the first to offer him a chance to do so. Whereas, the next child has everything ready, even as he is born, with all errors in child-upbringing already mended. He is all set to conquer knowledge from the time he is born:
- Prior experience in handling the child has gifted him wiser parents,
- Every element of adventure that arouses his curiosity gets introduced to him through all the activities of his elder sibling- academic, social, emotional, environmental, sports and games…
Are we heading to the conclusion that any child who isn’t the first-born stands better chance of being smarter? Sorry, NO! We are far from that in fact. I threw the limelight on the sibling(s) of the first-born in order to help you visualize what could go with the “making of the genius”: Relaxed and wiser atmosphere to grow up, lots and lots of scope to learn (non-stop) in most effective ways.
This interesting incident happened in a family that practices religion. The mother was telling her 4 year old daughter that the opposite of “natural” is “artificial”. The little girl demanded the meaning of ‘artificial’ to which the mother explained with examples: “Mountains and trees, for example are ‘natural’. But car, pen, ice cream, ball are not ‘natural’, but man-made or ‘artificial‘.” She was content with her explanation only till the little girl quipped : “Ma, how could we call anything ‘artificial’ or man-made? You have always told me that God made everything. Therefore there cannot be anything we can call ‘artificial’‘ .”
I invite you to join me in adapting this sweet little girl’s resolute attitude. Children are born as geniuses, all by themselves. 
Our job is only to help them blossom.
Nothing less. Nothing more.
