Harvard study: The baby's brain development peaks only 3 times, and parents always have to catch it once
Do you want your children to be "other people's children"? Want to let your kids win at the starting line? Want to have a high-IQ baby?
Here's your chance! According to a new study from Harvard University, babies' brain development peaks only three times in their lifetime. Parents always have to grasp once
During the peak period of the baby's brain development, if parents can guide the baby correctly, so that the baby's brain can fully accept the external stimulation to get exercise and develop rapidly, which can greatly improve the baby's IQ. Let's find out together!
- 6 months - 3 years old
(1) The main performance of the child
6 months - 3 years is the baby's first peak brain development. At this stage, the nerve cells in the baby's brain are expanding rapidly, and the proliferation and division of brain cells is also accelerating, and the weight of the brain is also increasing, and is gradually comparable to that of adults.
At this stage, the main performance of the baby is to imitate various external phenomena, including language, body movements and other behavioral patterns. Most babies learn to talk and walk at this stage. Babies also gradually form a cognition of the world at this stage, and they usually acquire it through perception methods such as sight, hearing and touch.
(2) What should parents do to stimulate the baby's brain development?
Remember never to stop your baby from touching things! Just be safe. It is by touching objects that babies recognize them. For example, if he kneads the soil, he will form a perception that the soil is soft, and if he touches the puppy, he will form the cognition of the puppy.
Don't stop your child from chewing things. Why do babies always like to chew things? Of course, this is also a necessary process for children to grow up. There is no need to stop it, as long as hygiene is guaranteed. Parents should also take their children out to play more, such as going to parks or zoos, and have more contact with the natural environment and animals, which is also of great help in forming a cognition of the world and promoting children's growth. The most important thing parents need to pay attention to at this stage is to let their children explore the world.
- 3 years old - 6 years old
(1) The main performance of the child
At this stage, the child's brain development has completed nearly 70%, and the initial cognition of the world has been formed. Compared with the initial cognitive world, children are more inclined to the formation of deep cognitive world and self-cognition at this time.
At this time, children are more likely to form habits, including study habits, living habits, thinking habits and so on. At this stage children already know what they like and what they don't like. They may want more toys, be picky eaters, and resist learning.
(2) What should parents do?
This stage is also extremely important for the growth and development of children, and parents cannot ignore it. How to form good habits in all aspects and cultivate excellent observation ability and thinking ability requires parents to spend more time and energy. Some parents may think that it is better to send their children to kindergarten for education, but in fact parents are more important to their children's education.
First of all, parents should cultivate children's interest in learning. You can take children to paint, play the piano, watch comics, play educational games, etc., through a fun way to let children understand the fun of learning. Second, tell your child clearly what can and cannot be done. For example, it is clearly forbidden to play with mobile phones, drink a glass of milk every day, eat on time, and sleep.
In addition, we must cultivate the habit of reading more books in children. Reading makes people wise, and reading can effectively cultivate children's concentration, thinking ability, and logical ability. If possible, parents should spend more time with their children and chat with them more patiently, so that they can exercise their language skills and interpersonal skills more.
- 7 years old - 10 years old
(1) The main performance of the child
Remember that every child is also an individual! At this stage, they already have their own consciousness and ideas. They no longer blindly imitate, but give birth to more and more of their own ideas. During this period, children gradually began to give birth to some rebellious thoughts. Often, the more restrictive and restrained the parents, the worse the children's performance.
(2) What should parents do?
The more at this time, the less parents are able to take coercive and excellent methods to force their children to compromise, which will not only fail to achieve results, but even bring shadows to the children's growth. At this stage, parents need to be more patient.
Every child is unique, and not even a parent can dictate who a child will be. Parents should respect their children's opinions more and give correct guidance.
To observe what the child is interested in, and then to further develop it. No matter how you do it, you will be the champion, and parents should not limit their thinking. Children can develop their brains to the greatest extent possible only in areas of their own interest. For example, drawing and writing can improve concentration and patience, and musical instruments can be used for artistic edification and artistic accomplishment.
If parents force their children to learn things that they are not interested in, it is tantamount to smothering the soul of the child, which is extremely harmful to the growth of the child. Children need to establish a good self-awareness during this period. Parents need to praise and encourage their children from time to time, instead of comparing them with others and attacking or even slandering them.
Parents should try their best to seize these three peak periods of brain development to promote the development and growth of their children, so that they have better innate conditions.
