Review: The Secrets to Raising a Smarter Child provides useful tips right from the pre-pregnancy stage to schooling.
It provides a list of activities that expecting parents can indulge in to make their child smarter. The list is exhaustive and consists of simple tasks like humming to playing board games.
It would have helped if the book was also backed by some scientific studies that proved doing all this can actually help in making your child smarter. Smartness is subjective and the entire book consists of so many things to do that very few parents will be able to complete all tasks.
Anyhow, none of the activities can cause any harm so you may as well give it a try.
