After becoming a parent, we can all appreciate the status of the child in the hearts of the parents, the child is the eternal treasure in the hearts of the parents, is the parent's lifelong concern, but also the pride of the parents' life, every parent wants to cultivate a proud child, how to cultivate a smart child, is a lot of parents are studying things.
Professor Richard, a behaviorist at Harvard University, has found that in the process of growing up, children have three opportunities to become smarter, that is to say, there is a critical period in the child's brain development, this critical period is very short, if you miss it, you will be very sorry.
Harvard research shows that children have 3 chances to become smart in their lifetime
The first stage: 0 to 3 years old
In the 0-3-year-old stage of children, the source of their intelligence is the neurons in the brain, and after the child is just born, they need to accept all new knowledge, because from scratch, their brain neurons will connect very quickly.
The connection speed of brain neurons comes from the stimulation received by the baby's brain nerves.
The second stage: 3 to 6 years old
After the age of 3, as the child begins to interact with the environment and is affected by external influences, the brain enters a run-in stage, and the frequently used synapses will multiply, and the weakening of the infrequently used synapses will gradually degenerate or break.
Studies have shown that babies who get rich environmental stimuli such as audiovisual, tactile, and athletic activities weigh 20% more than babies who lack environmental stimuli.
That is to say, at this stage, the richer the baby's experience, the more developed the brain synapses, the more complete and exquisite the structure, and the smarter the child.
The third stage: 7 to 11 years old
The road to learning and learning is beginning to get on the right track, and children are beginning to receive formal education, and children at this stage can easily give up learning. Therefore, teachers and parents must be optimistic about the development of children at this stage and actively correct children's ideas.
And the education received by children at this stage is systematic, if parents can cultivate children well, improve their thinking, let the child's thinking be more flexible, can improve the child's thinking, let the child become smarter.
What should parents do when the baby is at the peak of brain development?
Don't force your child to do it with your own opinions and ideas
Many parents' thoughts are all, the children I give birth to, I have to listen to me, no matter what the child's rules and thoughts, need to be done according to the parents' personal behavior concepts, and pass on the parents' way of doing things.
In many cases, children are unwilling to accept, which also restricts the psychological growth of children, if you blindly follow the speed of parents, children are easy to become more and more thoughtless, no personalized people.
Exercise with your child
During exercise, it can promote the secretion of nerve conduction substances such as dopamine, serotonin, and epinephrine, and it just so happens that these components are the key to promoting the neural connections in the brain.
Therefore, it is necessary to consciously stimulate infants and young children to grasp, hold, pinch, throw, pick, clap and run, jump and other sports with their hands, especially to train the fine movements of their hands and feet to promote cerebellar development and balance.
Outdoor parent-child activities can increase children's insights, expand their horizons, and promote the development of language skills through visual stimulation.
Give your child a variety of nutrients in a timely manner
According to a statement issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics - 11 kinds of "brain building nutrients": folic acid, protein, unsaturated fatty acids, DHA, ARA, vitamin D, vitamin B12, etc., are particularly critical for children's brain development. If the supply is insufficient, it will be detrimental to brain development for life.
Parents should pay attention to the fact that early nutrition has a decisive impact on intellectual development, so if you want to make your children smart, eating right is the key!
Read
The book has its own golden house, the book has its own Yan Ruyu, books are the ladder of human progress, reading books makes the child's inner world more abundant, reading can make the child calm down to seriously learn the knowledge in the book, which is the process of children's intellectual development.
Therefore, parents can cultivate their children to love reading when they are young, and when they grow up, they will form this good habit of loving reading.
Conclusion: If parents want to let their children grow up and have a good career, they must pay good attention to their children's physical and mental development, only by starting from the little things in daily life, cultivating children little by little, will not live up to the ardent hopes of parents.
