The following article is from Good Housekeeping and is one of the MYRIAD media outlets that perpetuated (and some continue to perpetuate) the myth that intelligence is inherited from your mother. This, and many other (usually reputable) news reporting outlets, cited the research as published from Psychology Spot – which with a click of the link provided in their own news articles reveals an individuals’ blog, not a peer-reviewed study.
1. Read the article below and write a few sentences about your initial response. I’ve told you that it’s (at best) grossly misrepresentative of the actual science, but is it convincing to you? Are there arguments made that seem believable because of the verbage used? Are there arguments made that tip off a science-informed student that something is amiss?
2. AFTER you have written your initial response, read the following response from a science writer at Forbes magazine. Summarize two to three of the important counterpoints she makes.

New Research Confirms That Kids Get Their Intelligence From Mom
One more thing to add to the "Moms Are Awesome" list.
In the case of your intelligence, "I got it from my mama" couldn't be more accurate. New research featured in Psychology Spot says people are born with conditioned genes that work differently depending on if they're from your mother or father — and when it comes to your intelligence, those genes are from mother dearest.
Even though people used to believe your smarts were from your father and mother, that's not the case. You see, intelligence genes are located on chromosome X and since women carry two, that means children are twice as likely to get their intelligence from mom.
And even if your father passes off a few of his intelligence genes to you, chances are they won't have an impact on your brain since they only work if they come from your mother. "If that same gene is inherited from the father, it is deactivated," reports the study in Psychology Spot. "Obviously, other genes work the opposite, are activated only if they come from the father."
Want even more proof? The Medical Research Council Social and Public Health Sciences Unit in the United States did a study on mothers back in 1994 and interviewed 12,686 young people between the ages of 14 and 22. Their questions focused on the children's IQ, race, education and socio-economic status. The best predictor of intelligence? The IQ of their mother.

When stress is high, our bodies kick out several stress hormones which, if not used for their purpose (fight or flight) they tend to wreak havoc on various organs and the immune system. Physical exercise is considered the best way to keep our body in balance. Exercise does not have to be all that hard or time consuming. We just need to make time to exercise. Mark Twaine said “Oh, I get the urge to exercise every now and then, but I just lie down till it goes away.” Knowing that this is not the right response, please explain what do you do to motivate yourself when you are less than inspired to get up and out the door?
