But is this really the case?
My friend's family has a low education. The man is a takeaway, and the woman takes care of the children at home full-time. No matter from education, work or economy, it has nothing to do with "high IQ", but their children are obviously recognized as "high IQ children" in kindergartens.
When I first entered the park at the age of 3, other children were still worried about separation, but obviously they not only stopped crying, but also took the initiative to be the teacher's little helper to comfort those crying children.
When playing games, the teacher tells the rules of the game once, so that you can clearly understand and repeat them, and then take the children to do it together.
In class, other children can't sit still at all, but obviously they can not only sit still, but also listen attentively to the teacher and actively raise their hands to answer questions.
Before taking a nap, Ming Ming became the "noon announcer" in the class, telling stories to his classmates every once in a while.
In kindergarten, I won the love of teachers and classmates because of Mingming's outstanding performance! Every day, students invite Mingming to his house to play.
More than once, the teacher praised Mingming in public among parents, saying that he was attentive in class, strong in language expression, smart and witty. After attending primary school, he must be a bully.
People who know Mingming's parents can't help but admire: you two are not smart, and you really raised a son with high IQ.
Wenwen's father knows that the obvious high IQ must be traceable!
So I went to consult Mingming's mother! Her explanation and parenting methods have benefited Wenwen's father a lot, and I hereby sort out and share them as follows.
Richard, a behaviorist at Harvard University, has studied for many years and found that in a child's life, the peak of brain development "getting smarter" is only three times! They are 0-3 years old, 3-6 years old and 7- 10 years old.
0-3 years old, the first golden period of brain development.
As the saying goes: 3 years old looks big! The reason is that before the age of 3, the child's brain is in a period of rapid physiological development. According to the research of brain scientists, the brain capacity of newborns is only 25% of that of adults, and by the age of 3, the brain capacity will develop to 85% of that of adults.
Moreover, at this time, the neurons in the child's brain overlap at a speed of 700- 1000 neurons per second, and whether the overlapping speed is 700 or 1000 depends entirely on external stimuli.
You know, the more neurons overlap in a child's brain, the stronger his reaction ability, thinking ability and concentration ability. Mingming's mother just caught the first peak of the child's brain development and gave the child rich external stimuli.
3-6 years old, the second peak
At this time, children's brain synapses will multiply, while those that are not commonly used will gradually degenerate, children's personality will gradually develop, and their observation and concentration will enter a golden period of development.
If parents can stimulate their children's abilities in the right way, it will be very beneficial to their brain development.
According to research, the brains of those children with rich vision, hearing and touch are 20% heavier than those of ordinary children. In other words, the richer the children's visual, auditory and tactile experience, the better the brain development.
Mingming's mother suggested that at this stage, children should be systematically guided to receive various potential development trainings. For example, Yao Ming often likes to play the game book "Super Brain Left and Right Brain Potential Development", which is a toy book specially designed to stimulate children's brain development.
7- 10 years old, which is the last peak of development.
Piaget, a psychologist, called the last peak of brain development "concrete operation stage". Mainly to cultivate children's logical reasoning, reverse thinking and critical thinking ability.
Brain scientists have found that the overlapping of neurons related to vision, hearing, language and advanced cognition in children's brains is basically completed before the age of 7. /kloc-basically in a state of stagnation after 0/2 years old.
It can be seen that in the three peak periods of children's brain development, parents' participation is the highest, that is, before the age of 6.
This age group is also the golden period to cultivate children's language expression, cognitive observation, imagination creation, memory and concentration. Parents are advised to seize the opportunity to develop their children's brains with half the effort.
3-6 years old, called "the key to brain development 1000 days" by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
At this stage, parents can not only provide rich nutrition for their children, but also give them more "stimulation" to help their children's brains develop better.
When analyzing the reasons for her son's high IQ, Mingming's mother said that every exploration before the age of 6 is to stimulate the connection of brain neurons, which will stimulate the development of children's cognitive ability, concentration and imagination.
For parents who don't know how to stimulate their children's brain development, Mingming's mother suggested that they should accompany their children to read educational books and play various potential development games.
Mingming has read many puzzle picture books with her since she was 2 years old, and children especially like to read this picture book "Super Brain Left and Right Brain Potential Development". I can't stop reading every time Mingming's mother will also ask the child corresponding questions according to the picture book, stimulate the child's brain operation, and then think.
Under the recommendation of a friend, Wenwen's father also started this picture book "Super Brain Left and Right Brain Potential Development" for his daughter. This picture book *** 10 volume is full of all kinds of interesting games, which my daughter likes very much!
This potential development picture book focuses on stimulating the development of children's various potentials, such as language expression ability, comprehensive coordination ability, imagination, memory and concentration.
For example, on this page, the topic is to let children find fruits and vegetables with the same color and connect them.
In order to solve this problem correctly, children should first know colors, vegetables and fruits, and hold pens and connect them independently. In this process, children's cognitive observation and hand-eye coordination ability have been developed.
Later, Wenwen's father will explain the shapes, tastes and eating methods of various vegetables and fruits to the children in detail.
In this process, children know that watermelon is sweet and banana is soft and waxy. At the same time, I also learn new vocabulary to deepen my understanding of these fruits and vegetables.
Another example is the book Logical Thinking. Through observation, the daughter found the wet chicken and circled it.
The training in this process is very helpful to cultivate children's thinking and resolution. My daughter has a special sense of accomplishment every time she finishes. The more she did it, the more addicted she became, and she never watched cartoons again.
My colleague's son is recognized as a restless baby and is not interested in all kinds of picture books. However, after starting this set of "super brain left and right brain potential development" recommended by Wenwen's father, it is like finding a "panacea" for treating spiral buttocks. Every day when he comes home from school, he pulls his parents to play games on books, and his concentration is obviously improved. Colleagues are very happy to say frankly!
For children aged 2-6, Wenwen's father suggested that we start with this set of "Super Brain Left and Right Brain Potential Development", 10, each of which is a puzzle game designed for children aged 2-6, such as concentration, memory, imagination and creativity.
Professor Harvard has studied the peak period of children's brain development, and sincerely hopes that every parent can seize it and cultivate children with high IQ. Moreover, the child's brain development is only a few short years, and it is useless to miss it!
