With children, as parents look forward to their healthy and smooth growth, who does not want children to be smart and cute?
Looking at the child's daily growth, daily changes, parents will also have a lot of worries, see some children will appear different from the general baby's performance, like do not understand the words of adults, laugh abnormally, etc., parents are not sure whether this phenomenon is something different from the baby's body.
In fact, the baby's developmental delay or some intellectual problems can be observed through their performance, parents must know as soon as possible, pay attention to time, so as not to really have problems and delay treatment.
What is a baby's mental retardation?
The so-called mental retardation is the "intellectual development disorder" mentioned in medicine, which means that the baby has a significantly lower development situation than normal babies of the same age during development, and is accompanied by certain behavioral defects.
Developmental delay is a condition that is affected by abnormal or lesions of brain development and is likely to occur back to early development.
What are the manifestations of a baby's mental retardation?
1. Laughing is not normal
We all like to see children's smiles, it is so simple and pure, it can cure all the sorrows of adults, but some children laugh abnormally, which may be a kind of early reaction to intellectual development.
Many parents think that the baby's love to laugh is a manifestation of the brain's intelligence, but what they don't know is that they keep laughing, and laughing constantly may be an intellectual development defect.
Usually the baby will laugh at birth, which is an unconscious manifestation, a physiological behavior of the facial muscles, and cannot be called subjective laughter.
When the baby is about three months old, they begin to smile consciously, and they will show a heartfelt smile because they see familiar people around them or hear good music.
But if the baby still can't laugh or laugh involuntarily when he is four or five months old, the mothers will pay attention to it and go to the hospital as soon as possible to check whether the development is slow.
2. Does not suck milk
The baby sucking breast milk should be a kind of physiological instinct that comes with it, and from the birth of the baby, there will be such a consciousness, even if the eyes cannot see clearly, there can be such a sucking ability.
If the baby has difficulty sucking, will not take the initiative to suck, and there is no desire to eat food, etc., it is likely that the baby's brain nervous system has been disturbed and cannot stimulate appetite, which is also a manifestation of developmental delay.
3. Slow response
Babies generally enter the active period around eight months, they will have a rich sense of expression and behavior, can also clearly distinguish between relatives at home, will consciously laugh and imitate adult pronunciation, and respond to adult teasing.
However, if the baby's response at this stage is significantly slower than that of the baby of the same age, parents should take the baby to the hospital for examination and whether there are developmental problems. Early detection of problems with developmental delays, treatment and training will be more effective.
The baby's brain training is really important, it is a lifelong benefit for the baby, and the IQ will be better than that of the same age without training, so parents must pay attention to it.
How do you train your baby to stimulate their brain development?
1. Usually parents should observe the baby's behavior, pay attention to their behavior awareness at various months of age, if the behavior is weak or abnormal, parents should carry out more deliberate training and guidance to stop the aggravation of developmental disorders in time.
2. Guide your baby more to improve brain concentration and mental activity. Such as targeted grasping and teasing, can well stimulate the baby's reaction awareness, targeted training, will make the baby's illness more effective.
3. Get medical treatment early and don't miss the best time for treatment. When the baby has stunted growth, parents must not let it go, and seizing the golden stage of treatment is what to do at present.
I wish every family a healthy baby, but also hope that parents pay attention to the development and growth of children, more observation, early detection, do not delay the child's future, sometimes as long as the parents are careful, the baby will be able to win at the starting line.
