Hello everyone, I'm Cuckoo Mama~
For parents, children have almost become the people we care about the most. We hope that the child can grow up safely, and we also hope that he can have a high IQ and live well in the future.
Although the child's IQ is largely affected by genetics, if the day after tomorrow works hard, it can still catch up.
Therefore, when we raise children, if we can understand some knowledge related to IQ and consciously cultivate them, we can improve the IQ of children to a certain extent.
We sometimes wonder, what is the IQ of our children, is it high or low? What details does IQ come into?
Don't worry, let's find out together.
One: What is the difference between IQ and intelligence?
We usually mention the words "IQ" and "intelligence", so what is the difference between them?
Let's start with "intelligence."
Intelligence, speaking of a person's ability to use wisdom, solve problems. This ability consists of 5 aspects: observation, imagination, memory, thinking and judgment.
The level of intelligence is generally expressed in terms of IQ.
Let's talk about "IQ".
IQ is a numerical value. Since we are talking about the wisdom "quotient", it is actually the ratio of one number divided by another number. There is a formula for calculation in psychology:
IQ = MA (mental age)/CA (physiological age) ×100
To put it simply, intelligence is a state of mind and an ability. IQ is a numerical value that represents the level of intelligence of a person at a certain age.
Two: What factors will affect IQ?
IQ is not static, but fluctuates in different situations. So what factors affect a child's IQ in everyday life?
● Sleep
I don't know if you have ever had such an experience: an afternoon without rest, or in a sleepy state, then to memorize texts, or solve problems, feel that the brain is a paste, how can not complete the task.
And if you go to sleep for a while and let the brain be awake, the idea is very clear. The text has been memorized once or twice, and the problem can be deeply considered and the solution can be found from different angles.
That's where sleep works.
Good sleep can make the brain get a full rest, and the ability to think, observe, and judge at this time is also relatively strong. If the brain is in a state of exhaustion, this ability will naturally decline greatly, and the intelligence will be a little lower than usual.
● Emotions
If a person is angry and loses his mind, his IQ at this time may be in a low state. The decisions he makes are often not very wise.
And if a person's emotions are in a calm state. At this time, his analysis of the problem is often more comprehensive and objective, and the decisions he makes are also very rational.
Therefore, we should also control our emotions more every day. Shouting and throwing tantrums regularly can put our IQ at a low level. If we think about the positive and optimistic side, our intelligence will always be at a high level.
●Confidence level
There is a saying in psychology: what determines a person is not what you are, but what you think you are.
From this sentence, we can see how important a person's self-confidence is.
Each person's potential is unlimited, but how much it can be developed depends on how confident he is in himself.
In the face of difficulties, do you believe in yourself, observe, think, and judge in many ways; or do you not believe in yourself, so as to withdraw and hesitate. The results obtained are all different.
The former constantly sharpens and improves intelligence, while the latter habitually cringes and stagnates.
Three: The "quirks" that high-IQ children will show
Knowing the components and influencing factors of intelligence, it is much easier for us to distinguish how children's IQ is expressed. For example, if the child has the following signs, it is likely to be developing in the direction of high IQ.
Logical clarity
If the child expresses a thing, if he is logical and clear, sorts out the causes and consequences of the matter clearly. This shows that the child's left brain is well developed.
The left brain is in charge of logic and thinking, and the child's logical ability is strong and his thinking is clear, which means that his thinking ability is good.
Fluent in language
The right brain is in charge of language. Language is also a form of intelligence.
A baby who can speak the Tao, generally has a large vocabulary and a lot of knowledge reserves. Moreover, the child who speaks sharply, he has strong observation and active thinking.
Strong sense of space
When children are 7-8 months old, they develop a sense of space. The common way to behave is to throw things, and when you grow up, it is to drill holes, jump high, jump long, etc.
The development space of children is actually developing thinking ability. Children with a good sense of space tend to learn math well.
Coordination of body movements
Children with coordinated limbs and flexible limb movements indicate that the brain is developing well.
Why?
Because the child is in infancy, he develops from top to bottom, from the inside out, and then there is a multi-faceted coordinated development. If the child's limbs are coordinated, it means that the brain can mobilize all aspects of the senses at the same time, and each sense can cooperate with the brain at the same time.
Loves to explore and think wildly
The child's ideas are eclectic and imaginative, indicating that the child's imagination is very rich. Moreover, children who love to explore also love to think, and their thinking ability is generally stronger. This is all a manifestation of a higher IQ.
If your child has the above characteristics, then you can steal the fun, your child is likely to be a high iq baby.
Four: How to cultivate high-IQ babies?
Children have a high IQ, and parents are certainly happy. However, while we are happy, we must also pay attention not to destroy the child's talent, but should provide a good environment and use the right method to continuously improve the child's intelligence.
●Create a good environment
This environment includes both a sleeping environment and a dietary environment.
I have a friend who is a kindergarten teacher, and she told me that the kindergarten will require children to go to bed at 8:30 every night. I didn't understand at that time, why go to bed so early?
Later, I learned that sleep not only allows the brain to get full rest, but also sleep in the first half of the night, mainly deep sleep. This has a big impact on a child's memory.
Going to bed early and getting up early, by no means just talking, is really good for the brain.
A reasonable, healthy diet is the basis for brain development. The brain is also like us people, eating well and sleeping well in order to develop well.
● Protect children's imagination and creativity
Children who love to explore are generally more "difficult to bring". They don't sit there quietly and well-behaved, but they may love to sabotage and mischief, and some children will even "tear down the house".
Raising such a baby, the mother is not only tired, but also has a headache. But in fact, love to explore is the process of children constantly thinking, reasoning and judging.
If we can give our child more tolerance, we are protecting his creativity.
In addition, children often have some "very silly" thoughts, and when he says it, we should not laugh at his whimsy or accuse him. Instead, his unique ideas should be protected and his imagination encouraged.
●Pay attention to emotional intelligence education
I often hear parents ask, "Which is more important, emotional intelligence or IQ?" ”
In fact, emotional intelligence and IQ do not exist independently, they will affect each other.
Emotional intelligence is the ability to control one's emotions. If a person is always emotionally out of control, then even the highest IQ will be greatly reduced. And if a person can control his emotions well, he can often make reasonable choices when facing problems.

There is a saying: "It is difficult for a woman to cook without rice." Cognition is the "meter" that children want for brain development.
The knowledge in the books can expand children's cognition and increase knowledge reserves. When a child has mastered a lot of knowledge, whether it is thinking, judging or imagining, he has knowledge as the foundation, and he can think more completely, more extensively and more deeply than others think.
A child's IQ does not remain static, but changes with age. If we want to raise a high-IQ baby, we must help shape a good environment and increase knowledge reserves on his life path.
In this way, the child's intelligence will continue to be improved, and he can grow into a high-IQ baby.
I hope that every parent can raise a child with a high IQ
