In the process of children's growth, in addition to health problems, presumably the most concerned parents are the child's brain development. Because the speed and perfection of brain development are closely related to their intelligence, many parents will rack their brains and exercise their children's brain development through various means.
In fact, if you want to exercise the child's brain development, you can also exercise other parts of the child's body through some "auxiliary means" to achieve the effect of indirect brain training.
Previously, a Canadian neurosurgery expert pointed out that the human finger and the brain are most closely linked, and the hand occupies the largest area of the cerebral cortex, about 1/3 to 1/4 or so, because the nervous system of the hand is extremely rich and directly connected with the brain nerves.
It is precisely because of this that many experts say that if you can exercise the delicate activities of your child's hands, in fact, it can also play a great role in helping your child's brain development.
After seeing this conclusion, many parents will massage their children's hands or let them do some mechanical hand repetitive movements, such as grasping back and forth. In fact, this method will not have any effect, nor will it help children develop intelligence.
If parents really want to achieve the effect of helping brain development through their children's hand activities, then they need the cooperation of hands, eyes and brains. The first is to find a thing to do, then let the head give "highly concentrated" instructions to the eye and the brain control area, and then give various instructions to the fingers. At this time, the information fed back by the hands and eyes will also continue to stimulate the child's brain, in this process, the brain development will be slowly improved, and the child's attention, memory, thinking ability, logic ability, etc. will be greatly improved.
01 What are the brain-friendly activities that are suitable for children to play?
At present, one of the more popular brain-friendly activities is paper-cutting, parents can buy paper-cut suits for their children, usually equipped with a lot of cards with various graphics, and also equipped with plastic scissors, which will not hurt hands, even if children use, will not pose a threat.
In the process of paper-cutting, the child's eyes will also stare at the paper, the attention is strengthened, and the fingers control the scissors, carefully cutting out the shape, which has a greater help for the child's patience and care, attention, etc., thus indirectly achieving the effect of helping brain development.
Parents can also take their children to play building block games, because it is also very challenging for children's eyes, brains, hands to cooperate, head thinking, eye observation, hand coordination, it seems to be just a simple operation, in fact, there are many details hidden in it. If children can play the building block game well, it also means that the child's brain development is relatively perfect.
In many institutions that develop children's intelligence, they will use this activity to help children develop their brains. However, the process of guiding children is not simple, especially some children who are less flexible in hand movements, they are always prone to failure in this process, resulting in loss of confidence. Therefore, parents must encourage their children more and build self-confidence for their children, so that they can better develop their brains.
Another example is origami games, which actually test the coordination of children's eyes, hands and brains. Now there are many toys that sell origami on the market, you can buy some back to play for children, according to the size of the child's age, choose different difficulty origami types. Origami challenges the child's brain thinking and finger flexibility, but once the child gets used to it, then the brain development will also be greatly improved.
There are also some parents who will buy jigsaw puzzles for their children, in fact, they can achieve similar effects, but puzzles are more used in the brain, but they are also very helpful for children's brain development, which is a direct brain game.
Parents can also take their children to play with clay, because clay can also exercise the flexibility of children's fingers in the process of shaping, especially when cutting details. Or take the child to draw, but also need the fine activities of the fingers, but according to the age of each child, the activities that can be selected are different, of course, it also depends on which one the child likes, as far as possible to cultivate the child's rich interests.
Here we also remind parents and friends that in the infant stage of the child, in fact, you can also give the child a hand massage, because the hand has a wealth of neurons, proper massage can also promote the development of the nervous system, thus indirectly acting on brain development.
Conclusion: Now many children prefer to play mobile games, rather than the above types of brain games, it is not recommended that parents use mobile phones to replace these. Mobile phone games not only can not help children's brain development, to a certain extent, will hinder the process of children's brain development, but also reduce children's attention, memory, patience and so on.
