Question

Scientists often see the first ten years of a child’s life as the “window of opportunity.”   【小題1】  And studies show that the following activities can benefit their brain greatly.
 【小題2】 
Free playtime has always been an important part of “being a kid”, but it is also important to a child’s development. “Free play” not only helps kids develop different skills, it also helps them develop into happy healthy adults in the future.
Read with kids
Reading has long been known to improve children’s intelligence.   【小題3】  For parents who don’t have much time, just surrounding your kids with books goes a long way too.
Put kids to bed early
 【小題4】  Preschool children should get at least eleven hours of sleep and kids up to age 12 should try to get at least ten hours of sleep.
Learn a second language
Early studies in this field have shown that bilingual (雙語的) kids can perform better under pressure. Young children can learn new languages with nearly perfect fluency (流利) and pronunciation.
Praise good effort not intelligence.
Your kids may be smart but you should mainly praise the effort they put into tasks. Kids, who are praised on intelligence, often feel it is a fixed quality, and mistakes or failures badly hurt their self-confidence. Kids who are praised on effort often focus more on learning.   【小題5】    

A．Play some helpful games.
