The Magic is in the Child... And in You

The most important part of how to multiply your baby’s intelligence is learning what your baby really is and what he has the potential to become.

You now have learnt the basic details of how to teach your baby as well. But beware - we human beings treasure techniques. We love “know-how.” In fact, we pride ourselves on our know-how. But sometimes we place know-how before “know-why” in importance. We should not do so. The principles of how the brain grows and why it grows the way it does are infinitely more important than the techniques or the how-to’s.

There is no magic in the techniques. The magic is in the child.

Do not fill in love with techniques

Instead be certain you have gained a thorough understanding of how the brain grows and why it grows in the way that it does.

It is infinitely more important.

If you learn only techniques, no matter how well you learn them, you will lack the certainty and confidence that understanding the principles and philosophy give you. Under these circumstances you will carry out the techniques poorly.

As time goes by and you begin to forget the techniques, your knowledge will degenerate and you will know less and less.

On the other hand, if you truly understand what you are doing and why you’re doing it, your knowledge will grow by leaps and bounds and in the end you will be able to invent more techniques and even better techniques than we have taught you in this book.

We have spent years developing these techniques and they are splendid. What is most important, they work and work well. But there is one thing you must never forget.

The magic is not in the techniques; the magic is in the child. The magic is in his incredible brain. The magic is in you.
