As part of Filipino myth/tradition is to cut the baby's hair when he turns one and keep it in between pages of a dictionary or bible. They say it's going to help the kid be more intelligent. Is anyone still doing it? Does it really work?

Lol, my mother-in-law just did this. I'm non-religious so I'd have just thrown it away but she was there when I trimmed the hair and she collected it. I let her be, it's her happiness. She also did the same with the first cut fingernails. Of course it doesn't work. It's a superstition and has no scientific basis. Your child will be intelligent based on his learning temperament and the teaching environment & lessons you provide. The right education is what really matters.

My cousins would always ask me to cut their children's hair as they turn one year old and they kept it in any book, so I guess some people still do the tradition. But I think it doesn't work at all because a kid's success in school can never be dictated by a myth like this, hard work and innate intelligence does.

Yes, I will be doing that. It doesn't really have a scientific proof that it actually works, but let's admit it, we have no choice but to keep up with our traditions. :) It will also be a good souvenir if you can keep the hair of your child. I did that when he had his 1st fingernail cutting. I kept his nails :)
