[quote=Anonymous]Mensa member here with 2 toddlers. Agree not to drill with flash cards. What I do is always explain everything we do and let them try things too. For example, I'll tell them we're taking this road to the playground because it's rush hour and the other road will be busy, then explain rush hour if they ask. I explain why we're going to get gas in the car, etc etc.. Then when I do stuff at home, like changing a light bulb or preparing food, I explain each step and encourage them to try it themselves with my help. A lot of people tell kids _what_ they are doing but not _why_.[/quote]
