In what way you assist your children in getting good education? Do you help them in their home work? Whenever they raise a question, are you able to give necessary clarifications? Do you allow them to be free for some time? How is the IQ level of your children? More than yours!

Here is what I have been told and read on as far as raising children to have high IQ levels (remember, IQ does NOT measure intelligence). Keep in mind that IQ tests are invalid before the age of seven, and children are rarely tested before then because it would not have the accuracy that it should have.
As the child is growing up, talk to it a lot. "Goo-goo-gaa-gaa is not a good start for the child. "Daddy, mommmy," etc. is fine, as it is important for the child to be able to distinguish relationships between itself and another person. Talk, talk, talk Talk until you're hoarse. As the child is old enough to sit up and grab objects, introduce puzzles to him/her (not those 100 piece or more, but you know, a simple one). This will teach the child to see a bit more abstractly, to see that things have ways to fit together, that there is a solution to somethings. If the child needs help, show him or her how. Don't finish it for him or her every time, s/he need some experience in teaching him/herself. Praise the child when it completes a puzzle and does things right.
This is all that I can really think of at this point, because I have not spent the time thinking past late infancy and early childhood in the terms of increasing IQ.
Good luck!

I meant to add that, as your child becomes student, it is important to help them with their homework, but do NOT do it for him or her. Encourage the child to look up the answers. If they do not understand something, have the child explain WHY part of their assignment confuses them, just so you know that he or she is not asking for a free-ride. Encourage your child to ask questions, whether it is to you, or to your teachers. Do not punish your child for his or her curiosity. Most parents do not realize that question asking builds knowledge, and they punish their children for speaking. Again, good luck.

How do I assist them..I think the biggest thing is and has always been making sure they put their education first...I've always made them very aware that SCHOOL COMES FIRST....Also, when they ask questions or are curious about something we talk about it and I point them in the direction of any resources...Do I allow them to be "free"? I'm not sure what you mean by that but if you mean free to be themselves then YES and I encourage it...
As for their IQs well both the kids are very smart but my daughter is actually above her age and grade level
