Wen | Yuan's mother's parenting diary original, welcome to forward and share personally
Everyone wants to have a smart baby, but most parents still believe in genetic factors, believing that their children's IQ is predestined. In fact, this is not the case, the intervention and cultivation of different stages of the day after tomorrow is also crucial, if you can grasp the golden period, the impact will be greater.
Richard, a professor of behavior at Harvard University, has done a special study, and the results point out that the golden period of children's brain development is mainly divided into three stages, and it is very short.
Parents seize the opportunity to do more with less, so that the child's potential is developed to a greater extent, and there is no chance to miss it.
The first golden age of brain development: 0-3 years old
A series of data by neurologists have found an important phenomenon: the brain weight of newborns is only 390 grams, but it can reach 1000 grams at the age of 3, which indicates that the development of neural networks in children's brains during this period is very rapid.
Compared to adults, their brain development rate has reached 85%.
Harvard University's research center also released data showing that when a child is 0-2 years old, the brain can establish 700 neuronal connections per second, and the neuronal connections are directly proportional to the children's ability to respond, think and concentrate.
That is, the more neuronal connections there are, the stronger these three abilities the children exhibit.
The second golden age of brain development: 3-6 years old
After experiencing the rapid development of the first golden period, the children's brain development will enter the run-in period.
Simply put, if the child uses the brain regularly, the synapses in the brain will multiply, and vice versa may degenerate or break.
Therefore, the second golden period of brain development is most important to stimulate children's abilities.
Some research data have found that if children's vision, hearing and touch can be enriched, then their brain weight is significantly higher than that of ordinary children by 20%.
Therefore, at this stage, parents should pay attention to and guide their children to receive targeted training in various abilities.
The third golden age of brain development: 7-12 years old
During this period, children began to systematically learn knowledge and carry out thinking activities in the brain, which can be regarded as very active, and psychologist Piaget called this stage "specific operation stage".
If at this stage, parents can help their children develop a positive way of thinking, and often do some targeted skills training, then the child's thinking logic ability and reverse thinking ability will be improved.
From the brain growth and development map of children before the age of 20 released by brain experts, it can be seen that before the age of 7, the neural connections related to the brain, hearing, language and other types of nerves have been basically completed, and after the age of 12, they are basically in a state of stagnation.
Therefore, in these three golden periods, the most important thing is before the age of 6, and the richer the brain of the child before the age of 6, the faster the child's reaction speed will be in the future.
How should parents train during the different golden periods of children's brain development?
The first golden period:
Parents should strengthen their children's auditory, visual and body movement stimulation, such as using different colors of cards and music to attract their children's attention, and train their eyes and ears to track them.
In infancy, we can let children grab our fingers, use foot pedals or baby exercises, etc., to exercise their body movements.
If the child is older, like to throw things, tread water, etc., try not to stop, in the case of ensuring safety, let the child receive more stimulation and perception, can increase the synapses of the child's brain.
The Second Golden Age:
Children during this period are relatively naughty, they begin to have their own ideas and want to achieve their goals.
Perhaps parents will not understand, but we must communicate with the child more, which is not only conducive to the establishment of parent-child relationship, but also exercises the child's language ability.
In addition, you can also improve your child's thinking ability and observation ability through drawing and picture book reading.
The Third Golden Age:
In this period, we should pay attention to two points, one is to cultivate children's independent interests, and the other is to encourage children more and not to make random comparisons.
No one likes to be ordered by others to do things on their own, and if parents repeatedly veto their children's ideas, it is easy to stimulate their rebellious psychology, which is not conducive to stimulating the development of the brain.
In addition, comparison can easily lead to negative emotions such as children's inferiority, which is not only not conducive to children's education, but may even cause psychological diseases. Encouraging children more and enhancing their self-confidence is a better approach at this stage.
