[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both parents but not always in equal measure. Certain things can increase IQ but not by huge numbers - reading, narration, sensory experiences, etc in first 3-5 years. Also childhood illness, nutrient deficiencies, stagnation, etc. can lower IQ. [/quote] I just read an article that said cuddling and hugging babies and toddlers raised IQ, too. [/quote] That makes me sad --- our daughter was in an orphanage for the first 2 years -- and I believe that has affected her ability. She lost out on two years of love and stimulation and good nutrition. She struggles in school and we don't really know why. But certainly her first 2 years did not help.[/quote]
