There is a Chinese saying that "three years old looks big, seven years old looks old", and there is another sentence called "three years old is set eighty". These old sayings that you may hear are scientifically based!

Scientific research shows that before the age of 3 is an important period for a person's brain development:
At birth: the brain weighs only 370 grams,
1 year old: close to 60% of the brain weight of adults;
2 years old: 3 times as at birth, accounting for about 75% of the brain weight of adults;
3 years old: close to the adult brain weight range, after the development rate becomes slower.
Therefore, within 2 to 3 years of the child's birth, whether in terms of physiology and psychology, good parenting stimulation has an important impact on the function and structure of the brain.
The human brain is the only organ that is plastic after birth, and by the age of three, the brain will develop to about 80% of the maturity stage, and in these three years, the brain will establish 700-1000 neural connections.
But what stimulates the brain to make these connections?
Of course the baby is seeing every day! At this time, the brain is rapidly absorbed and grown from a blank piece of paper and a sponge, so the various visual + auditory information received by the baby at this time will affect the brain nerves and eventually shape the baby's brain.
Do you still think that children can't understand and say nothing?
In the past two years, there was a particularly popular online article on the Internet, called "The Cold Door Is Difficult to Get Out of The Noble Son", which talked about the impact of people's origin on success, which aroused a great response on the Internet, and many people resonated deeply, and there were also many objections.
Xiaobian does not think that people with bad births have no chance of success, but here we will only talk about the different impacts of the family environment on children before the age of three.
Someone once did a study that lasted for many years:
By the age of four, many children from poor families hear 30 million fewer words than children in wealthier families, and most of the words they hear are negative, negative, simple and vulgar.
Poor life brings more anxiety and negativity to parents, the attitude towards children is easy to be simple and rude, coupled with no good educational background, it is easy to adopt some simple commanding phrases, such as:
“
Don't cry!
Don't touch it!
Sit tight!
After three years, the children of poor families will receive many fewer new words and complex words than the children of rich families, and even if they can learn many things through education in later time, it has taken shape—the way it accepts new knowledge and the way of thinking about problems is basically fixed.
The child's mathematical ability, spatial reasoning ability, perseverance, self-discipline, moral sense, and empathy are all related to the words heard in these three years, so the parents are the child's first teacher.
For children, shaping a good environment for brain development is far more important than giving him good food and clothing.
So, if your baby is not yet born or has just been born, how should you cultivate it to give your baby a good brain to shape a developmental environment? What kind of baby you want, just say more relevant, positive language.
Like what:
1. Numbers
For example, 1/2/3, ten, hundred, thousand, thousand, ten thousand, etc., to help the baby establish accurate mathematical concepts.
2. Spatial vocabulary
Accurately describe the shape, distance, size, weight and other expressions of the object space, space perception ability is the basis for learning science, high technology, engineering, etc.
3. Perseverance
The more you praise your child for perseverance, the more likely he is to be strong in the future to face challenges and achieve greater achievements.
4. Self-discipline
Some children can listen carefully to a class, and even consciously complete their homework in advance, while others are active and procrastinating, and this self-discipline performance continues the child's life. The latest research suggests that whether a child can control his or her own behavior and emotions is related to the language of the person raising the child.
5. Empathy and moral sense
If you praise a child's behavior, the child will show persistence in the matter; if you praise the child as a person, he will gradually grow into a noble and moral person.
