1, use your head early
Early stimulation of the brain plays a decisive role in people's intellectual development throughout their lives. Psychologist Bloom once determined that if a person aged 17 has an IQ of 100, in contrast, if he develops at the age of 7, his intelligence can only develop by 20%. From the age of 4, it can reach 50%; However, the excavation of greater intellectual potential should be before the age of 3. Beijing Oriental Cambridge Children's Development Center has trained six newborn babies to perceive stimuli. For example, if children are taught to look at maps, listen to music, learn nursery rhymes, touch toys, learn to look up, learn to crawl, learn to walk and learn massage aerobics, after one year, one IQ 140, three IQs 130, one IQ 129 and one IQ of premature infants/. The significance of early development of baby's potential is not to let the baby learn some knowledge and skills, but to change the microstructure and performance of the child's brain through rich and appropriate brain stimulation, thus affecting his life.
Some parents worry that their children will damage their brains if they use it too early. In fact, children's brains are close to the level of adults at birth. Although the brain is only 390 grams, it will increase to more than one kilogram at the age of two. It is equivalent to 72% of the adult brain weight, and it reaches 94% of the adult brain weight at the age of six. This shows that the brain development of children at birth has provided a certain physiological basis and possibility for receiving education. As long as the education method and content are appropriate, parents don't have to worry that using their brains too early will hurt their children's brains.
2. Use your brain diligently
Six months after birth, the number of brain cells remains basically unchanged. You can't divide and proliferate brain cells with your brain. But the initial use of the brain can make brain cells bigger and dendrites and axes thicker. And make the branches developed, thus thickening the cerebral cortex and increasing the weight of the brain. At the same time, frequent use of the brain will improve the sensitivity of brain cells to information reception and response. Brain wave research found that. With the growth of age. There will be aging waveforms. People who are engaged in non-mental work appear aging waveform earlier than mental workers. This shows that the less brain training, the faster aging. Regular use of the brain can keep brain cells vigorous and prolong their survival time, thus delaying the aging process of the brain.
3. Use your brain at the right time
When a person uses his brain at the best time, his efficiency will be greatly improved, otherwise he will get twice the result with half the effort. The so-called optimal brain use time refers to the time when people are full of energy and brain cells are in a state of high excitement.
As far as a day is concerned, the memory optimal time curve has several high points. The first climax is from 6 am to 7 am. At this time, the brain has finished sorting and coding the information input the day before during sleep. Because it is not affected by "proactive inhibition", the memory impression is clear and organized. The second high tide point is from 8 am to 10 am. After several hours of activities, the excitement of the brain is greatly improved and the energy rises to a vigorous stage. At this time, the thinking is agile, the memory material processing efficiency is high, and the memory capacity is large; The third climax is from 8 pm to around 10 pm. At this time, there is basically no new information input to the brain, so there is no "back-shot inhibition" effect. At this time, the depth of brain thinking activity increases, and in the subsequent sleep, information will still be unconsciously sorted and coded, which is conducive to the networking of materials. Systematic and in-depth understanding of information is also conducive to the preservation and extraction of information. As far as everyone is concerned, because everyone's "biological clock" is not exactly the same, the best time for people to use their brains is not exactly the same. We should choose the best time to use our brains according to our own "biological clock" rhythm in order to improve our learning efficiency.
Step 4 combine work and rest
Excitement and inhibition are the basic processes of nerve activity. The combination of work and rest can effectively regulate cerebral blood flow, improve brain nutrition metabolism, promote the synthesis of brain energy substances and eliminate brain fatigue. The main ways of combining work and rest are: learning and cultural and sports activities alternate; Learning and sleep are mutually regulated; Changes in learning methods and contents; The combination of mental activity and physical activity, and so on.
5. Strengthen the right brain
Traditional educational methods lay particular stress on reading, writing, logic and operation. These activities are mostly dominated by the left hemisphere, so the left hemisphere is constantly strengthening, while the right hemisphere is relatively idle and in a weak position. The right hemisphere focuses on spatial relations, art, emotion, etc. And control the movement of the left limb. Therefore, in order to activate the right brain and promote the balanced development of the left and right brains, experts suggest strengthening the movement of the left limb and attaching importance to art education and emotional education. The quality education advocated at present is of great significance to the all-round development of people and the left and right brain functions. I hope parents will let nature take its course for children who are used to left-handed physical activities. No forced correction is needed; Give enthusiastic attention and support to children's emotional needs and artistic hobbies; Children's intuitive creation, don't blame it for being "weird and absurd"; Love and guide children's wide range of hobbies.
