I can't remember since when, prenatal education began to become a popular practice, expectant parents in order to make the fetal brain in the abdomen better develop, keen to buy a variety of prenatal education products, what prenatal teaching headphones, prenatal education instruments, etc.; will also be a variety of classes: music prenatal education, light prenatal education, slapping what is prenatal education.
There are also some parents who think that listening to classical music is a very good way of prenatal education, and even call it the "Mozart effect", believing that listening to Mozart during the fetal period can improve the child's IQ!

But really!
None of this works very well.
Take the so-called "Mozart effect", when music is transmitted to the baby's auditory nerves through the mother and amniotic fluid, it is no longer the original beautiful and harmonious melody, but a simple physical sound wave, which is harmful to the baby's noise, and may cause easy interference and irritability to the fetus.
That is to say, the sound that originally gave the fetus a certain volume could cause his reaction, and now, a voice lower than the original volume can cause his reaction. On the surface, the fetus has become smart, but in fact, the fetus can not get a quiet environment, the nerves become tense.
However, many moms may disagree:
"How can it be useless?" After prenatal education, the child really seems to be smarter than his peers."
Why?
In fact, this is because the prenatal education of the baby on the surface actually affects the physical and mental state of the pregnant mother.
Prenatal education does not directly act on the fetus, but through the change of the emotional and mental state of pregnant women, affect the secretion of hormones and related neuromediators in the body, thus indirectly affecting the brain development of the fetus.
According to a 2004 study of music prenatal education by the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine, it was shown that:
Prenatal music can only make pregnant women emotionally calm and relaxed, and can accompany a series of physiological changes in pregnant women's emotions, such as a decrease in placental circulation resistance and an increase in the amount of blood perfused into the placenta, which is conducive to increasing the supply of nutrition and oxygen to the fetus.
This is the real reason why prenatal education is effective: the calm and relaxed emotions of pregnant mothers are the root cause. The bigger vernacular is that when the mother is happy, the baby will grow better.
The research results of John Medina, a well-known brain neuroscientist and professor of biology in the United States and an advisor to the National Board of Education, also proposed:
The essence of prenatal education is to promote nutrition and environmental promotion of the fetus during fetal development, promote the better development of the fetal brain, and lay a good brain foundation after the fetus is born.
Therefore, if you have to say that prenatal education has a role, then one of the reasonable reasons is to create a good growth environment for the baby - and the shaping of a good nutrition and a good environment is actually the shaping of the pregnant mother's balanced diet and nutrition, comfortable and relaxed physical and mental environment.
Therefore, prenatal education, in fact, "teaching" is pregnant mothers
As long as the pregnant mother is immersed in beautiful things every day, maintaining a positive attitude and good mood, it is the best prenatal education for the fetus - balanced nutrition, moderate eating, and weight control are the key and correct practices.
At the end of the day – the only thing expectant mothers need to do is to stay in a good mood and let the fetus sleep well.
After all, the greatest benefit of the uterus is that it avoids all kinds of stimuli — the dark, moist, warm, sturdy, quiet environment provides the best environment for the early brain development of the fetus.
Want to have a healthy, smart, well-behaved kid?!
Then expectant parents only need to ensure that pregnant mothers are in a comfortable and beautiful environment during pregnancy, so that they can really play the role of prenatal education.
Pregnant mother's emotional condition is very important, we must pay attention to good emotions, pregnant mother's unstable emotions, stress, anxiety, will cause a very adverse impact on the fetus.
Therefore, the fathers-to-be are instead of spending money as leeks to be cut off what prenatal education IQ tax. It is better to spend more time and thought to create a comfortable and relaxed pregnancy environment for pregnant mothers, more companionship, more communication, and more attention to the emotional changes of pregnant mothers.
What you want to eat, buy!
What you want, give!
What do you want to do, accompany!
Keep a rule in mind: don't make the expectant mother angry, and always keep the expectant mother in a good mood is excellent!
Of course, pregnant mothers, do not give themselves too much pressure, how to be happy, how to come, to keep their mood as happy as possible Oh ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
