Many parents may have had this concern:
"The neighbor's child is not yet 1 year old, and he walks steadily, but my child is more than 1 year old, walking or stumbling, is my baby not smart enough?" Not developing well enough? ”
Such worries are indeed very common, in fact, the baby's learning to walk, run, jump and other "big sports" are indeed more important, to a certain extent, express the child's development status, and intelligence, physical indicators are related.
The so-called "big movement" is also called "coarse movement", corresponding to "fine movement", which means that the baby needs to launch a large number of large muscle group activities throughout the body, such as sitting, crawling, turning over, walking, running, jumping, kicking, etc., all belong to the category of large sports.
In general, big motor skills are related to the baby's balance ability, coordination ability, body awareness ability, physical strength, reaction time and many other aspects.
So, in this case, is the development of the great movement completely irrelevant to the child's intelligence?
Of course, the answer is no, although the strength of the big motor ability does not absolutely represent the child's intelligence, but to help the child develop the big movement, but can help the child improve the intelligence of the day after tomorrow.
How does big motor ability affect a child's intelligence?
Many parents may be instructed by doctors when taking their children for physical examination, "Let the children climb more, turn over more, and the more the children move, the smarter they are."
The reason why children will "move more and more intelligently" is that the key is that the ability to exercise will affect the development of children's cognitive ability, which further affects the level of intellectual development.
1. Big athletic ability can enrich children's experience
In ancient times, most people's range of activities may only be tens of miles around, but in modern times, even ordinary people can reach the other end of the earth in a short period of time by plane, it can be said that the change of transportation has greatly broadened the scope of human life and cognitive boundaries.
The same is true for children, two children of the same month, if one child has not yet learned to crawl, and the other can already crawl around the house, then the cognitive range of the two sides is completely different, in other words, the two children have different "experiences".
Children who can crawl often have a certain sense of space, through a lot of self-exploration, cognitive ability, thinking ability has also been greatly improved, and children who can not crawl have an extremely limited range of activities, and intellectual development will naturally be one step slower.
2. Big athletic ability can enhance children's self-confidence
For babies, the initial confidence often comes from the degree of control of the body, and the ability to exercise is the most specific external manifestation of the baby's body control ability.
For example, if a child walks steadily and fast, and another child cannot take two steps, he will fall, so the former with stronger athletic ability will cultivate stronger self-confidence under the premise of being able to continuously complete the walking action.
There may be parents who wonder if they have stronger self-confidence and faster intellectual development?
The answer is yes, in the process of children's continuous cognition of the environment, even if they encounter unknown situations, self-confident children will be more willing to challenge, and in this process of non-stop exploration, children can accumulate more experience, enhance their cognitive ability, and thus promote intellectual development.
How to help children improve their intelligence through the development of big sports?
1. Step by step
The so-called "can not learn to run without learning to walk", in general, the child's big motor ability should follow the basic order of "leaning over, turning over, sitting, crawling, standing, walking, running, jumping".
We develop big motor ability for children, the first thing to make clear is that it needs to be gradual, only the child's brain develops to a certain extent, and the relevant neural circuits are developed, and the relevant training can be carried out.
If parents see that other people's children can already walk, practice in advance, which will only cause harm to the child, but make the child master the ability to walk later.
Therefore, for children of different months of age, we only need to let them master the basic motor skills, and do not have to "promote seedlings".
2. Consciously guide the training
Big motor ability is the external embodiment of the child's physical coordination ability, which requires us to consciously guide the training.
For example, almost all children are crooked when they first start walking, and they will fall down after walking a few steps, and after slowly practicing, they can gradually master the ability to walk.
When we find that the child has completed the exercise of the last big motor ability and can continue to go down, we can consciously start guiding the training and try to improve the child's interest through games.
For example, when practicing turning over for the baby, we can play hide-and-seek with the child, turn over together, and use toys to "lure" the child when practicing walking, which will help.
Old Miao Conclusion:
Good big sports development for the child's self-confidence, cognitive development, exploration ability development is of great benefit, and then promote the child's intellectual development, we as parents, the child's big sports ability must pay attention to it, step by step to guide the child to carry out special exercises.
