I am not sharing with you theories that I heard from somewhere else. I am sharing what I learnt from 16 years of experience teaching my own six children and consulting for other parents. My eldest is 17 years old.  He completed his Cambridge A levels 1 year early. He got very good grades. He got two As and 1 A star. His subjects were Mathematics, Economics and Computer Science. 

 A  Levels are exams taken in the UK at age 18. They are the same level as the first year of College/University in the USA. Students take three subjects, and the results they get in part decide the type of University they can get into. Or the course of study they can take.  He got his A in economics when he was 15 years old.  There are no two ways about it; his brain is sharper and smarter than usual. He picks things up easier than most. His results and abilities were not accidental.  I believe it was because my husband and I started sharpening his brain when he was around 7-8 months old.

This was his beginning. He started primary school with advanced math, reading and writing skills. He was ahead of his peers in all the key areas. Unsurprisingly, he ended up with two As and an A star in his results at the end of his schooling.  This was the plan we had for him. I remember when he was a baby. My motive for sharpening and smartening his mind was so that he would not fall behind in primary school. It was also for him to excel in primary school.   

My husband and I were not interested in him getting poor or average grades. We wanted the best for him. We wanted him to have access to the best universities and the best opportunities. We didn't pressure him to get top grades; my husband and I don't believe in that. We provided him with the ability and techniques to do so. 

 As I write this e-book, he is applying to Universities in the UK. With his results, he can apply to the best universities in the UK. He has the option to apply to Oxford or Cambridge. He could apply to Imperial, LSE or other top Universities.

With his A-level grades, he can apply for graduate programmes in the top organisations in the best-paying industries. He has no interest in being a lawyer. But for example, the top city law firms in the UK currently pay around £150,000 for newly qualified lawyers. He could achieve this in only a few years after graduating. These are the types of options available to him with his grades.  

We are seeing results with all my children, the youngest of which is 3 years old. The only exception is my second child. I will share with you later what happened with him so that you don't make the same mistake that I made.   

The children of parents I consult for also report the same results. I have seen the same results with family members who spent time smartening and sharpening their baby or toddler's mind.  

I don't only want to paint a positive picture. I don't want to make it look like every single parent who has tried to sharpen their child's mind as a baby has had positive results. Because that would not be true, they haven't. But you see, whenever I met a parent who did not have positive results, I noticed that it was because they had no guidance. So when a problem arose, they didn't know how to resolve it. But, if they had guidance, they could have easily overcome the barriers they faced.

So, having someone to guide you who has gone before you is very important. Part of the reason Jenny succeeded with her daughter was that she had guidance from me. She would often call for advice and support. Later in the book, I will show you how you can get free guidance and support.     

Now, if you're saying, 'I want to sharpen and smarten my baby or toddler's mind, ' keep reading because I am about to show you how to do it.
