As a parent, I am afraid that no one does not care about what their children are suitable for in the future, what they are good at, and whether they can become talents. In fact, there are some methods or standards about this that can help parents discover it in the process of parenting. This article will recommend a series of methods to introduce to you in batches. Today, we will introduce 3 more commonly used methods.
1. Intelligence test method
Since the 20th century, intelligence testing has been a common method of speculating whether a child has a talent. Experts advise young parents: Carefully measuring their children's IQ is not a game, but a warning whether they can have the confidence to cultivate their children into talents.
What is intelligence? The concept of psychology is that intelligence is the psychological condition or characteristic that people have when they acquire knowledge and apply knowledge to solve problems.
Intelligence test is a psychologist to develop a special intelligence test sheet to test a person's intelligence, intelligence quotient (IQ).
Intelligence tests range from adults to children. The more famous children's intelligence test tables are the "Binet-Simon Intelligence Test Table", the "Stanford-Binet Scale", and the "Wexler Children's Scale". Among them, the Stanford-Binet Scale introduces the concept of "IQ".
The Wexler Intelligence Scale is regarded as a widely used scale of individual intelligence tests recognized by the international psychological community today, and is applicable from young to old age. Among them, the Wexler Children's Scale is suitable for intelligence tests for children aged 6-16.
According to the measurement results, the average intelligence level of ordinary normal people is 100, and the IQ between 90-110 is ordinary intelligence, 110-120 is excellent intelligence (high intelligence), 120-140 is very high intelligence, and more than 140 is extremely high intelligence, that is, the so-called genius. 70-90 is dull, dull intelligence, and below 70 is low-energy children, that is, mentally handicapped children.
In reality, it is often said that the abnormal children have an IQ of more than 130-140, and such children account for 1%-2%. The proportion of low-energy children is about 2.5%. From the perspective of intelligence distribution, ordinary people account for the vast majority, and both ends are minorities.
The following table is a visual representation:
For different levels of intelligence, there are also certain differences in the fields suitable for engagement.
Normal intellectuals are generally not suitable for development in scientific research, and should engage in work that is not strong in mental labor, such as general physical labor and strong mechanical daily work.
High intelligence (110-120) has a strong ability to govern, such people first of all in the pursuit of academics, followed by some small inventions, creations, to the society after the survival ability is stronger, with the ability to break through the world, can be a factory director, manager, administrator, can also be a teacher, researcher, writer, etc., but in the field of high technology is difficult to have a big achievement.
People with high intelligence (120-140), as long as they intend to cultivate and work hard, will show their skills in the field of high intelligence scientific research, will have achievements, and can become famous scientists, artists, philosophers, and educators.
Extremely intelligent people of more than 140 are geniuses, "5000 years of human civilization, 10 years to give birth to one", "about 1 million children, there is one". Not only can you become famous and become a family, but you will also have the possibility to promote the development of the entire human race in one aspect.
The above is a general speculation about intelligence and the future, which is not absolute. People with less than ideal IQs can also develop and achieve something in terms of non-intellectual talents. People with excellent intelligence, if they are not intellectually deficient, may also affect their future achievements.
2. Dr. James Discovery
Dr. James of california medical school believes that people's potential ability is unmeasurable, and if you want to grasp the strength of children's intelligence more scientifically and accurately, you must also observe and cultivate from the following seven aspects:
1. Whether the child walks early.
Walking is a stimulus to the well-developed brains of babies, and children who walk early have smart brains. Parents are reminded here that if they have infants and young children at home, they should let their children walk more, move more, and do not hold and carry them all day.
2. Whether the child speaks early.
Speaking is language expression, and language is a kind of thinking. Children who speak early have extensive connections between brain cells, think faster, and respond more sensitively. Speaking early can also master more vocabulary, express more complex meanings, be interested in pictures earlier, and be more able to concentrate on a certain problem. Articulate children tend to have fluent language, clear thinking, and strong comprehension skills.
3. Whether the child shows a wide range of interests in external things.
If the child often shows a strong curiosity about external things, likes to ask questions, and shows a strong desire for knowledge and a strong interest in learning very early, it shows that the child has a strong talent. Such children need to be correctly guided, so that their knowledge continues to increase, their horizons are becoming wider, their interests are constantly broadening, and they show initiative, tendency and perseverance in pursuing certain things.
4. Whether the child can complete the matter according to the requirements of parents and teachers.
Being able to complete tasks as required indicates that the child's memory is better. Not only the breadth of memory, but also the depth, exceed the level of the average child, and the memory time remains long. Children with good memory not only learn quickly, but also have ease and ease, and can quickly remember the requirements of teachers and parents.
5. Whether the child shows a high degree of attention to something.
If a child shows a high degree of attention to something, it indicates an intelligent quality of having some kind of expertise. Can quickly identify problems and pay attention to details. In particular, some children are careless about other things, but show a strong interest in a certain thing, and take the initiative to explore and focus on learning, indicating that they like and are likely to be good at this aspect.
6. Whether the child's physical, mental and health conditions are better than ordinary people.
If the child is physically strong, lively and cute, in good health, and better than ordinary people, then it can be judged that his emotional intelligence and IQ are relatively high. Such children get along more well with their parents and friends than the average person, are more emotionally stable, have a more independent life, and have a strong sense of initiative and self-confidence.
7. Are the child's fingers sensitive and alert?
Children with clever hands, clever hands, and sensitive fingers have a higher degree of potential intelligence. This is because the fingers are connected to the most extensive nerve centers in the functional area of the cerebral cortex, and the activity of the fingers can strongly stimulate the development of brain nerves. Therefore, sensitive and alert fingers mean that the brain is well developed, the thinking ability is strong, and there is a strong potential for intelligence and even genius.
Dr. James proposed that the above seven observations and discoveries can initially speculate on the general trend of children's adulthood. Specifically, parents usually pay more attention to observation, see what talents the children have, in what aspects, and make full use of the children's potential talents and intellectual strengths to carry out purposeful cultivation and education, so that their talents and talents are not buried.
Third, Gardner's specialty identification method
Seeing if a child is a Maxima is not a simple question. In fact, every child has the possibility of becoming a Maxima, because any child has one or more intellectual and physical strengths that are completely their own, and this requires parents to seriously discover and excavate.
Professor Hobid Gardner, a professor of neurology at Boston Medical School, proposes that people have at least eight potentials. These potentials in children, after being encouraged by their parents, will be developed in one or more of them and become specialties.
1. Language potential
If the child likes to talk from an early age, is more talkative, can process words and sentences, is good at telling stories, creates poetry, and reads independently, indicating that he is more talented in language, if he is well trained, he is likely to become an orator, writer, poet, program host, etc. in the future.
2. Potential in logic and mathematics
From a young age, he is more sensitive to numbers, can remember numbers, understand the meaning of numbers; like abstract thinking, good at playing chess (chess, checkers, etc.), playing cards, and quickly get through the same amount of relationships (2 days = 48 hours); after going to school, he is particularly fond of mathematics, science and other courses, loves to ask questions, and is good at finding the law and logical order of things, which shows that children have potential in logic and mathematics. If well trained, it is highly likely to develop in mathematics, philosophy, logic, computers and other subjects with strong abstract thinking in the future.
3. Spatial potential
Imagination is rich, sensitive to color, like to doodle casually, spatial thinking is better. Such a child needs to provide a place to draw, for the enlightenment and training of painting, and can also provide clay, plastic modeling, building blocks and other toys, so that he can use his imagination. Children who are good at spatial imagination can be expected to develop in the fields of art, architecture, physics, and astronomy.
4. Physical motor potential
This is the potential of sports and dance. If the child is dexterous, graceful, athletic, unwilling to sit quietly, and learns to turn over, swim, ride, etc., it is suitable for sports and dance. If you have strong hands-on ability, you are very comfortable in threading needles, using a variety of tools, disassembling clocks and radios, etc., it is suitable for process and engineering activities. Children with a strong sense of movement can be expected to seek development in sports, dance, acrobatics, actors, models and other aspects in the future.
5. Musical potential
Born sensitive to music and rhythm, at a very young age like to press the keys, listen carefully to the sound, not only have a good singing voice, but also learn new songs quickly and accurately, such children have musical expertise. If parents can create the conditions and cultivate them professionally, they are likely to become singers, performers, composers or conductors in the future.
6. Interpersonal potential
Some children enjoy socializing with people and quickly mingle with strangers and become good friends. Good popularity, like to ask people to help, but also willing to point out others. Such children are more sensitive to interpersonal relationships, like to pay attention to people, and are good at observing the emotions, intentions and motivations of others. Such children will be suitable for leadership positions, human resources, communication experts, diplomacy, social activities, marketing and other work based on people's exchanges, interactions, and exchanges.
7. The potential to know oneself
Some children can know themselves from an early age, often find ways to understand their own strengths and weaknesses, have self-knowledge, know how to plan and use their talents, do things cautiously, like to be alone, good at thinking, and sometimes have a low evaluation of themselves. Read the book with your child and discuss the personalities of the characters in the book. Such children can seek greater development in philosophy, anthropology, psychology and other aspects in the future.
8. The potential of natural observation
Some children have a strong interest in animals and plants, astronomy, geography and other natural phenomena and keen observation, like nature, like to read popular science books related to nature. Such children are expected to pursue their future development in the fields of botany, zoology, astronomy, archaeology, geography, and environmental science.
Other methods to be continued, stay tuned!
Remarks: As the old saying goes, if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first use it. The method is like a sharp weapon, I hope that in the process of parenting, we can learn the sharp weapon, master the weapon, combined with the actual situation, better, more appropriate, more effortless to cultivate offspring.
