Why are children raised by Jewish parents the smartest?

In fact, all parents have their own way of parenting, and there is no right or wrong. As long as you accompany your children attentively and do not miss any of their growth, the children will definitely become better adults. So why are children raised by Jewish parents the smartest?

This is completely based on statistics. The Jewish population only accounts for 0.3% of the world's population, but one-fifth of the Nobel Prizes have been won by Jews. Half of the world's richest entrepreneurs are Jewish (not only are they smart, they are also good at making money). Einstein, who proposed the theory of relativity, and Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, are all Jewish.

So there is a joke that Arabs live on oil, so what do Israelis live on? They live on their brains! Speaking of this... Are Jewish mothers strict tiger moms who implement strict elite training and require their children to constantly (study → sleep → study → sleep) in order to absorb a lot of knowledge?

Why do Jewish children love reading books from a young age? Is it because the picture books in their country are particularly interesting? Or do their parents give them special rewards when they finish reading a book? The answer is none of the above. In fact, it has something to do with the traditional rituals of Jewish families.

In Jewish families, when children are young, they will have a book kissing ceremony. At the beginning of the ceremony, Jewish mothers drip sweet honey on the Bible and let the children lick it. From then on, the children will think that books are sweet. As they grow up, they will remember that books can bring them sweetness. Then when the children go to kindergarten at the age of 3, Jewish parents will give them books as gifts every year. The Israeli government also provides children in kindergarten and above with one free picture book per month. All of this allows Jewish children to develop the habit of reading from an early age.

Giving books is not enough. Jewish parents will also spend time reading picture books with their children. Many Taiwanese parents now do this very well. However, I heard that Jewish parents will point to the words when reading, so that the children can learn to recognize words while listening to the story.

It is better to have no books than to believe in them blindly. If you just study hard and pour knowledge into your head, it is difficult to cultivate a genius like Einstein. Therefore, Jewish parents pay more attention to their children's ability to think independently. When someone asks a question, do they give a standard answer or think about the real problem behind the question?

There was a very popular video a while ago. A mother asked a little boy, "25 apples + 16 apples = how many apples are there?" If the little boy could answer 41, that means he is good at math. But the little boy answered... Mom, where did you get so many apples? Wow! That means he can think more. Maybe this is what Jewish families want their children to have.
