IQ Development in Children

In the most basic terms, Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. 

IQ score is a standardised way of comparing this ability with the majority of people the same age as you are. A score of 100 means that compared to these people in your general age group that you have basically an average intelligence.Research has revealed that IQ is most volatile amongst children. IQ reaches it's peak value at the age of 16 years.  It is of paramount importance that children are indulged in brain activities from the early age. Instead of wasting their energy in trivia or action games, they need food for their brain. The analytical puzzles, quantitative and aptitude problems serve as food for their brains.

During my childhood days, my Dad used to bring home the pictorial analytical puzzle books. This helped me tremendously to sharpen by brain in deriving logical inferences, analysing patterns and sequences.

In today's busy age where parents are trying to cope up with their professional life and balance it with their personal life, they need handy ways to help children with their IQ development. There are many applications on the Android and Apple ITunes stores that can prove invaluable for this purpose. I personally recommend following apps on Google Play store:
