HELP: I Would Like to Raise Nerdy and Goofy Kids. Can You Give Me Some Pointers?

Question

This is really a serious question because I do not want my kids doing a lot of the nonsense most of these kids interests hold. It is very dangerous out there, I think nerds would be less headaches.

Answer 1

Answer 2

yes give him a nintendo and make him/her look like steve off family matters  

Answer 3

Just let you kids be themselves. Encourage them to chose right decisions over wrong ones etc, and be the person that you want them to looks up to

Answer 4

What you need to do is, when they're babies, talk to them all the time. When you're holding them, just talk on and on about your day and what you're doing. If the baby is sitting in it's high chair as you get it some food, tell it "Okay honey, now I'm getting out a sippy cup and filling it with juice, now I'm giving you some Cheerios ..." Don't talk baby talk, talk to it like it's an adult.

I'm serious. Doing that raises the child's IQ.

Also, talk with them. Ask them how their day was and listen to them talk, even if you're tired and bored by their chatter. Let them talk to you all the time. Answer all their why questions. When they ask why the sky is blue, give them a short, sweet, simple explanation and go more in detail if they're interesting. Answering all their questions is good. Explain newspaper articles and current events to them. Kids are like sponges, they absorb knowledge.

Play nature documentaries and magic school bus videos for them. Magic school bus videos are these animated videos for kids. The videos explain simple science and kids love them. The kids I babysit can't get enough of them.

If you can, send the kid to a private or charter or alternative parent participation, small-class-size, hands-on elementary school with a focus on the arts. A good elementary school like that will show a kid that it's okay to be a bright child.

If the kid has an interest in music or art, encourage them with it. Also, talking to your kid is important. If you do it right, your kid will be a total chatterbox to you, eager to tell you everything. Because you've talked about current events, your kid might want to talk to you about current events and news and stuff.

So when you've raised your child to be smart, they'll make good decisions. They might go to crazy parties, but they won't get wasted. They might have friends who do all that stuff, but they won't. They'll be smart, responsible kids. You'll still worry about them, and they'll still be rebellious and rude at times, and they'll still get in trouble, but they'll be smart, and they'll know they can talk to you about anything. They might not be nerds, but they'll be smart and they'll love learning. They'll be smart enough to be trusted to make good choices. And that's the best you can hope for, I think.

Answer 5

oook, why woud you want to raise some nerdy and goofey kids, on the real though?

Anyways, you can make them addicted to books. Make them watch Star Wars!!

That's all I can think of

Answer 6

You have to baby them. Let them become mama's boys. Make them wear tube socks until they are in college. Take away any opportunity for them to be adventureous. Dont let them learn how to skateboard, dont let them go on the computer, dont let them watch tv. Give them ALOT of school supplies and organizers. take away any chance of them wanting to be who they are, and make them nerdy. Be an overprotective father... Thats how you get a nerdy, miserable kid who is always picked on at school.  

Answer 7

Yeah

Answer 8

Obviously a fake question

Throw him a computer and a nintendo and some flood pants. Maybe a plaid shirt

Answer 9

You can't raise a child to be something you want him to be.

Answer 10

i know you're trying to protect your kids, but trying to specifically raise nerdy kids is over protective... trying guiding your kids to make the right decisions and be a role model for how you want them to act.  plus, you'll be getting headaches from your kids telling you who picked on them today, what the bullies did to them, etc... do you really want that for them??? good luck

Answer 11

Make them:

1) Wear coke-bottle glasses, even if they don't need 'em

2) Wear their pants no lower than 4 inches above they're belly-button

3) Dance to Polka music on a daily basis

And your good to go.

Answer 12

So you want to ruin their lives?  Mines already ruined, don't make your kids go through it.  Please.  

Answer 13

your kids don't gotta be nerdy or goofy

nerds aren't less headaches

children that are taught well by their parent are less headaches

so be a good parent that teaches their children right

and not a bad parent that makes them be who they want them to

Answer 14

Have them start playing videogames at an early age. Be their rolemodel which means you need to be nerdy and goofy, kids tend to follow the figure in their family who they look up to.
