A mother’s role goes beyond teaching her child school lessons or helping with daily homework. It’s equally important to enrich a child’s general knowledge and find effective ways to enhance their intelligence. Every child is born with certain mental abilities according to genetics, but the surrounding environment—especially the mother—plays a vital role in developing those abilities and discovering talents.
One fun way to do this, especially at the start of the school year, is by preparing daily riddle sessions for your child. You can even organize small competitions between children to encourage learning in a playful way.
Education expert Wassim Youssef has compiled a set of fun, school-themed riddles that mothers can use to spark curiosity, improve problem-solving skills, and get children excited about returning to school.
