The first five years of a child's life are the most important in his life, and they are the years in which his personality is built, so attention must be paid to developing his skills and abilities. Most children are born with advanced innate skills, and parents can highlight and develop them properly or work to hide them completely without realizing.. Intelligence is an innate ability that includes many things, including the ability to think, plan, analyze and understand difficult matters, and benefit from experiences, and intelligence has many forms and The most important of them are linguistic intelligence, musical intelligence, mathematical intelligence, mathematics intelligence, social intelligence, and natural intelligence.
Due to the environment surrounding him, which in turn enhances the role of the child’s neural programming, and his field of intelligence is highlighted by a number of signs and signals that clarify this.
Here are the most prominent signs that indicate a child's intelligence:
Unbridled curiosity:
The intelligent child has a strong curiosity to know anything and understand anything at any time and uses all means to reach his goal. In an effort to explore everything new in his surroundings in all its details, and here he repeats the questions until he is convinced of the answers. Parents must answer him and not suppress him because this helps increase his intelligence and develop his skills. This appears especially after the first four years of his life and he is asked about everything he is going through or facing in terms of matters. Parents must, of course, pay attention to answering all his questions, no matter what.
Ask questions:
At the age of infancy, specifically from the age of four years, the child can speak clearly and smoothly. One of the characteristics of a smart child is that he frequently asks about everything he notices or suddenly comes to his mind, or remembers something that has been a while but has not forgotten as he asks about it and does not want to keep something stuck in his mind Without asking about it, yes, his inquiry about things that have passed and are still present in his mind and thinking, and the number of inquiries regarding one topic. He always asks a lot about how many, if and why, and of course, according to the answers he receives, other questions arise from him without getting bored or tired, on the contrary.
Tradition:
The child begins to imitate his parents and family at an advanced age, and notices him trying to repeat the movements around him, and then begins to imitate sounds until he reaches to imitate speech (and here most people resent this behavior when it is a sign of his intelligence), and the way of eating, and then focus on Show good behavior in front of the child because the child is the mirror of his parents.
The strength of observation:
The child is usually clear of his mind and increases his concentration, so he notices the simple changes around him and begins to ask about them. Here, his strength of observation and concentration can be tested by moving some pieces of furniture in the house that he must notice, or the absence of a family member or hiding a toy from his toys. And asking him about accurate questions, and his love for games of jaw and assembly, and his inclination to choose children who are older than him.
little sleep:
A smart child sleeps less so that he has more time for play, activity, movement and exploration. It turns out that smart children sleep fewer hours than others, which gives them enough time to talk, move, and imitate actions for adults, and this will enhance their intelligence level more.
Communication strength:
Although parents sometimes appear annoyed by the child’s frequent speech and communication with them, especially in the first years of his life, in fact, it is one of the signs of his intelligence, as he tries to develop his language skills well and constantly tries to draw attention. Therefore, it is necessary to listen to the child and conduct an effective and useful dialogue with him.
Experience love:
The child has a tremendous ability to love experiment and rush towards new things in order to discover without the slightest thought or analysis because the child does not know fear despite his young age, but is distinguished by his feet.

We must contain it and direct it properly without reprimanding or punishing it.
Adhering to his desires:
Some children give up quickly if they can't get what they want or if their parents don't meet their demands. While the intelligent child tries to adhere to his desire strongly, thinking that his choice is right, here the parents must be sufficiently aware to preserve the child's personality and choices in a sound manner and help him make the appropriate decision. Because his adherence to this means that he will not stop at the obstacles facing him.
