How intelligent is your toddler?

1. Word smart

What does it mean?

  • Also known as linguistic intelligence, this skill is about being good at reading and writing. If your toddler enjoys talking and expresses himself well, he’s likely to be word smart.


Brain training game

  • “Try playing ‘I spy’ games in the car using colours or shapes 
if your child doesn’t have his initial letter sounds yet,” says Dr Hulusi. “It’s a great way to develop these skills and passes time if you’re stuck in traffic!”


Could grow up to be?

  • A writer or lawyer.


Try this now!

  • Sit down with your child and take turns talking about what you’ve done today.
