The domestic economy has also taken off in recent decades, and for many people born in the 50s and 60s, their minds still contain many memories of living poor days when they were young or even young. It is precisely because of the poverty of the broad masses of the people for thousands of years that people subconsciously feel that "fat is a blessing", after all, in the poor era, the children of poor families cannot even eat well and will not grow fat. Therefore, many people have always expected to have a "big fat son" for themselves or the next generation.
As we all know, the weight of the newborn is related to his constitution, and the newborn must not be affected by any acquired influence when he is just born, so his weight is mainly related to the genes of his parents, of course, it is also related to his mother's eating and resting habits when pregnant.
One key point that many people overlook is that not only do parents get fat, babies are fat, and as we know, if obesity is excessive, it has a detrimental effect on the birth of pregnant women. A pair of skinny parents don't necessarily have to be skinny. A key factor affecting newborn weight is the physical hardware quality of the parents.
However, the weight of newborns is not as good as the bigger they are. Leaving aside the effect of obese newborns on maternal fertility, the available research evidence suggests that newborn weight also suggests the degree of brain development! So what range is the best weight for newborns?
Scientists in the United States have studied the relationship between "newborn weight and IQ range" through continuous tracking, and concluded that when the weight range of newborns is 3.25-3.5kg, that is, in the range of 46.5-7 kilograms, the heavier and smarter, when exceeding this range, the intelligence score will decline. So parents with newborn weights in this range should steal the fun.
So is it because weight directly affects the IQ of newborns? Not really. Just like no one thinks that "adult fat people have a higher IQ". For newborns, his weight is more pure because there is no influence of the acquired diet. The human body is composed of the organs of various parts of the body, so the weight of the person is also composed of the weight of various parts. The weight of a newborn is partly indicative of the size of his brain's capacity! People with large brain capacity usually have higher IQs and are smarter.
But a good start does not mean a good result. "Wounded Zhongyong" in the junior high school Chinese textbook has shown us such a story. No matter how talented Zhongyong is, because he has not received the education, learning and other intellectual exercises he deserves the day after tomorrow, he can only be "ignored by everyone" in the end. Therefore, regardless of whether the weight of the newborn is high or low, parents cannot ignore their acquired culture.
The above-mentioned American scientists also found through research that there are a total of 3 peak periods of brain development in a person's life, which are before the age of 3, 5-7 years old, and 8-10 years old. Among them, 0-3 years old is the most important stage of children's brain development. Parents with the right conditions can seize this opportunity to help their children's brains develop better from the side so as not to miss the best time.
So what can parents do to stimulate their child's mental development during this critical period of 0-3 years old? This involves the knowledge of preschool education. People have five senses, and the key sources of input are sight and hearing. The counterpart is reading and listening, and babies usually have 12 months to get a lot of listening input from their parents and other populations before they can speak. Parents can grab this entrance to exercise their children. You can usually play some related music, news, English, literature, etc.
As for reading, you can also choose some very basic cartoon resources to show him, such as 26 English letters. It doesn't matter if he can read it (and the facts can't understand it), but it can leave an impression on his mind. If he can speak, you can teach him to read along while teaching him to recognize.
By the age of 5-10, he had already gone to school, and at the kindergarten and primary school stages, there were other corresponding methods of companionship and education, which needed to be dealt with according to the actual situation at that time. I will not go into detail here.
Finally, it should be mentioned that if parents really want to do something for their children, if they want her to be born and grow better, they need to be fully prepared. From the beginning of pregnancy, to pregnancy, to the postpartum period, and then to the infancy, early childhood, childhood, should start from themselves, lead by example, and improve their physical quality, psychological quality, and personal cultivation while helping their children create a good growth environment. The weight of the newborn is only a beginning, the amount of brain volume is only a basic beginning, and the innate advantage needs to be experienced by the day after tomorrow to be able to make him play his due glory.
