Harvard University study: There are only 3 peak periods of baby brain development, and parents always have to catch one
Do you want your children to be "other people's children"? Want your child to win at the starting line? Want to have a high IQ baby?
Here's your chance! According to the latest research from Harvard University, there are only three times in a baby's lifetime that the baby's brain develops at its peak. Parents always have to grasp once
During the peak period of the baby's brain development, if the parents can give correct guidance so that the baby's brain can fully accept external stimuli to get exercise and develop rapidly, the baby's IQ can be greatly improved. Let's find out together!
- 6 months - 3 years old
(1) The main performance of the child
6 months - 3 years old is the baby's first brain development peak. At this stage, the nerve cells inside the baby's brain are expanding rapidly, and the proliferation and division speed of brain cells is also accelerating, and the weight of the brain is also increasing, and gradually equals that of an adult.
The main performance of the baby at this stage is to imitate various external phenomena, including various behavior patterns such as language and body movements. Most babies learn to speak and walk at this stage. At this stage, babies will also gradually form a cognition of the world, and they usually acquire it through perception methods such as vision, 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 keep it safe. It is through touching objects that babies can recognize them. For example, if he pinches the soil, he will form the perception that the soil is very soft, and if he touches the puppy, he will form the perception of the puppy.
Don't stop your child from chewing things, why do babies always like to chew things? Of course, this is also an inevitable process for children to grow up. There is no need to stop it, as long as hygiene is ensured. Parents should also take their children out to play more, such as going to parks or zoos, and get in touch with the natural environment and animals more, which is also very helpful for 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.
Two, 3 years old - 6 years old
(1) The main performance of the child
At this stage, nearly 70% of the child's brain development has been completed, and the initial cognition of the world has been formed. Compared with the initial cognitive world, children are more inclined to the deep cognitive world and the formation of self-cognition at this time.
At this time, children will form more habits, including study habits, living habits, thinking inertia and so on. At this stage, children already know what they like or don't like. They may want more toys willfully, 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 should not ignore it either. How to form good habits in all aspects and cultivate excellent observation and thinking skills 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 draw pictures, play the piano, read comic books, play educational games, etc., and let children understand the joy of learning in an interesting way. Secondly, it is necessary to clearly tell the child what is allowed and what is not allowed. 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 also spend more time with their children, and chat with them more patiently, so that they can further exercise their children's language skills and interpersonal skills.
Three, 7 years old - 10 years old
(1) The main performance of the child
Know that every child is also an independent 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, the child begins to develop some rebellious thoughts, and often the more restricted and restrained the parents are, the worse the child's performance will be.
(2) What should parents do?
The more it is at this time, the less parents can adopt coercive and tough methods to force their children to compromise. This will not only fail to achieve results, but will even bring shadows to children's growth. At this stage, parents need to be more patient.
Every child is unique, and even parents cannot enforce what kind of person a child becomes. Parents should respect their children's opinions more and guide them correctly.
It is necessary to observe what the child is interested in, and then further cultivate it. There will be champions in all walks of life, parents should not limit their thinking. Only in areas of interest can children develop their brains to the greatest extent. For example, drawing and writing can improve concentration and patience, and musical instruments can cultivate art and improve artistic accomplishment.
If parents force their children to learn things that they are not interested in, it is tantamount to killing the child's soul, which is extremely harmful to the child's growth. During this period, children need to establish a good self-awareness. Parents need to praise and encourage their children from time to time, instead of comparing their children with others and beating 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 and make them have better innate conditions.
