The ancients liked to associate the child's birthday with the luck of a lifetime, and had previously scoffed at it. But recently, while reading a book, I found that a study by the New York Academy of Sciences showed that the time a child is born does affect the child's life, and it is closely related to the quality of the child's growth.
Dr. Otto, an academician of the New York Academy of Sciences, followed up on 1 million newborns, and through a follow-up survey, he found that the child's birth month affects the child's height, weight, and even intelligence.
Generally speaking, children born in the spring from March to May have more dominant physical functions in all aspects. The month of birth is curved with the child's physical condition, and the data shows that children born in April are more likely to reach the peak of physical functions; relatively speaking, children born in October are slightly weaker in physical functions.
The same conclusion is confirmed by years of reports from berlin's Schart hospital. Chartreuse Hospital records show that babies born in March to May have a stronger ability to resist some allergic diseases than children born in other months.
In addition, big data also shows that children born in the spring are also more artistically gifted than children born in other months. According to incomplete calculations, 65% of writers, painters, and performers were born in the spring.
Why is it that when the child is born in the spring, the physical function of the child is higher?
Spring is the growing season
It is said that spring is the season of growth, and it is the same for children. The World Health Organization has conducted a growth survey of children in 120 countries and regions.
They followed up 96,000 children under the age of 6 worldwide and found that they grew the fastest in the spring of the year. The average height growth value of children in May can reach 7.3cm, but in October this value is only 3.3cm, so it is often said that April and May are the "golden month" for children to grow.
We all know that after the birth of a newborn, there will be several sharp rise periods before 6 months, such as: 2 to 3 weeks, 5 to 6 weeks, 3 months after birth, and 6 months after birth. The smaller the baby's age, the faster the growth rate will be, if it happens to be fierce for a long time in the spring, the child's height will be blessed by the environment, and the natural height advantage will be more obvious.
Spring is also more friendly to mom
Throughout the year, the human body reacts differently according to changes in rhythm. In the spring, everything recovers, and the adult's physical functions will adjust to their best state at this stage.
For new mothers, childbirth, breastfeeding, and caring for newborn babies all require strong physical endurance, and mothers need to have more energy, which is obviously more advantageous than the cold winter, the hot summer, and the spring.
Spring is good for going out
Generally speaking, 42 days after the birth of the child, you can take the baby out for outdoor activities. Children receive more sun exposure, which is more conducive to promoting the conversion of vitamin D, and vitamin D advantages the key to calcium absorption, and the appropriate temperature in spring provides a more comfortable environment for babies to go out.
In addition, allowing children to go out and contact with nature is of great benefit to the development of children's sensory abilities such as sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. Child psychological developmentist Piaget believes that action is the key to children's cognitive development. And the sensory ability can just promote the development of children's movements, naturally these children's cognition will be stronger than other months of children born.
It should be noted that although the temperature is suitable in spring, it is also necessary to ensure that the baby is not overexposed to strong ultraviolet rays, and it is best not to shoot directly.
Sports are also very important for children's physical functioning
Although the physical functions of babies born in the spring will be more dominant, most children will not be able to catch up with this time. So are our children doomed to lose at the starting line? Of course not, parents do not have to worry too much, compared to the innate advantages, the acquired parenting method is equally important. If you master the scientific method, even if the baby is not born in the spring, he will eat ma ma xiang and the body will be great.
For babies before the age of 1, children born in the spring already have the advantage of the time, but that doesn't mean they'll always stay ahead. Without the scientific method, even if the baby is born in the spring, it will be taken over by the children of other months.
Many new parents pay special attention to their children's eating and sleeping before the child is 1 year old. But in fact, scientific and systematic comprehensive training is more important for children than eating and sleeping scientifically.
Because a child's brain develops very quickly before the age of 1. When babies are born, the brain weighs only 350-400 grams, which is about 25% of the brain weight of adults. By the age of 1, the weight of the brain reaches twice that of birth, reaching 50% of the weight of the human brain, and at the age of 3, it is 75% of the weight of the adult brain.
In addition to the brain, the child's physical coordination ability is also developing rapidly, and the babies have learned to turn over, climb and walk from lying down to learning to turn over, climb and walk, which can almost be said to be the fastest stage of human life. Therefore, we have always recommended that parents seize the time when their children are just born to help their children do systematic science training:
★ Visual Training:
Babies before 3 months can use brightly colored balls or toys to place at a certain distance in front of the baby's eyes, rotate or move, so that the baby can learn to chase and stimulate the baby's visual nerves.
A little older, you can face the baby to play the "peek-a-boo" game, parents first cover the face with their hands, and then open, with a variety of facial expressions, stimulate the baby's visual cognition training. This intensity of visual stimulation helps more brain cells in the baby's brain to connect, and the more brain cells are connected, the better the baby's brain development will be, and the higher the IQ will be.
★ Auditory Training:
Generally speaking, the baby will know his name when he is 5 months old, and he will react to his parents when he hears the name. At this time, parents can shout more children's names, and imitate the baby's "um", "ah" and "whine" sounds to communicate with the child, which will be more conducive to stimulating the development of small heads.
The baby's language ability develops from birth, and the amount of words the mother will directly affect the baby's language reserves. Therefore, parents should talk to their babies as much as possible. For example, tell the baby the name of the thing he is looking at, don't tell the baby, "Look at this, look at that", but expose the child to as many words as possible, "This is a kitten", "That is Winnie the Pooh", and so on.
Although the baby still can't understand, this process is very critical, it is the process of the brain storing information, and there is enough storage to have output. Especially before the age of 3, parents have to do talking, the baby's language development will not be bad.
★ Haptic training:
Haptic training mainly refers to the perceptual training given to the baby's skin.
For babies who are young, touching is the best tactile training. Through touch, it can stimulate the baby's skin sensory points, promote the connection between tactile nerve cells and the center, not only promote parent-child communication, but also enhance appetite and promote sleep.
Of course, children can also be encouraged to touch things of different shapes and textures, which can not only promote tactile development, but also facilitate hand-eye coordination.
★ Train muscular endurance
With muscle strength, children can have more advantages in big sports such as turning over, crawling, and sitting. Children's motor ability will directly promote brain development, so we recommend that parents can play muscle training games with their children before the age of 1. Like what:
"Pedaling" game: Parents stretch out their hands, put the baby's little feet on the palm of their hands, push up with a little force, and the child will step down hard, pushing and stepping to strengthen the leg strength.
Grip game: the hand grasping ability of the baby is actually very strong, give a finger will be dead grasped, at this time the parents can gently pull the baby's arm, let the child use force, and slowly the child can learn to arm force.
About the best birth month for the baby, and the scientific training methods for young babies today, if you are also preparing to get pregnant, or the child is still a small month old, you may wish to plan in advance according to today's words, calculate the child's birth month, and help the child plan training.
