Hello everyone, I am a tomato mother who practices lifelong learning!
"Big head, thick neck, either big money, or a guy." A passage in the sketch has become a classic quotation that many bao moms believe in. Some mothers feel that if a child grows a big head, it means that the child has a high IQ and is very smart. So, is this true? Are kids with big heads really smarter?
In the cartoon, Ichigo's head is very large, and he is indeed very smart. But the head of the Pig Eight Commandments is very large, and the people are very stupid. In this cartoon, the big head son is not as smart as the small head father. However, the characters in the film and television animation are all virtual and do not have a scientific basis.
We can only give a more convincing example of life, and take out scientific data to prove whether there is a causal relationship between a child's big head and intelligence.
For example, Einstein, known as a genius, weighed only 1230g in his brain, which is about 170g lower than the average brain weight level of ordinary people. This data shows that Einstein's head is not large and does not weigh heavily. However, everyone knows that Einstein's intelligence level is extremely high, with an IQ of more than 160, far exceeding the normal level of 90-109. Therefore, it can be seen that the child's head is large, and it is not necessarily very smart. The size of a child's head is not causal to the child's level of intelligence.
Some mothers said: "My children have a big head, and people are also very smart, fortunately, I inherited my husband's characteristics, and did not inherit my small head melon." "In fact, in life, this phenomenon of children's heads being big and people being very smart is just a coincidence, and parents really should not use the size of their children's heads to speculate on their children's intelligence."
In the same way, if a child has a small head, he may not necessarily have an intellectual problem. Unless the child has obvious manifestations, such as abnormal limb behavior, facial expressions and other details, unlike normal children, this situation requires medical treatment to check the child's IQ level.
Scientific studies have shown that a healthy adult, with a male brain weight of not less than 1000g and a woman's brain weight of not less than 900g, will not affect intellectual development.
Although the brain weight of some small babies who have just been born is only 400g, as they grow up, the baby's brain weight, age and physical condition are changing. Children never understand anything, and slowly they become smarter and smarter. Therefore, the size of a child's head is really not an important part of determining intelligence.
So, what parts of the child's characteristics can indicate that the child is very smart?
It is nerve cells that determine the basis of a child's intelligence, which have nothing to do with glials. Whether the child is smart or not, the IQ level depends on the number and distribution of nerve cells composed of the brain, which is not proportional to the weight and size of the child's head. In other words, the big kid is not necessarily smart.
However, if a smart child is mostly characterized in these two parts:
▼ The ears are clear and the eyes are fast
If a small child is manifested as having eyes, strong concentration, and high concentration of eyes. The ears are obedient, responsive, quick thinking, and dexterous hands. Well, it shows that the child's intelligence level is good.
Because the level of intelligence of children really depends on the structure of the brain, not the size of the head circumference. If the child's brain synapses have strong ability to transmit information, the neural synapses in the brain are very developed, and the level of brain information interaction is high. Then the child will basically appear to be deaf and blind, and the eyes are fast.
▼ The mouth will speak
A smart child with a high level of intelligence and a very obvious manifestation is that the mouth can talk and can speak. This is because the prefrontal cortex has the ability to analyze and solve and execute problems. If the prefrontal cortex of a child develops well, the child's thinking decision-making and reaction ability is stronger. Parents will find that their children react quickly, their small mouths are very good at talking, and their cognitive ability and mobility are quite strong.
Speaking of which, many parents will be envious. Why are good kids? We all hope that our children will become smarter and more intelligent, and their intelligence level will be super high, so how good it should be! In fact, in addition to the child's IQ, parents need to make more efforts.
A good way to improve children's intelligence, parents should carefully remember it, and the test is effective!
Parents should be smart enough to seriously develop their children's intelligence
In the infant and young child stage, the intellectual development of children is very important, but there are very few things that children can take the initiative to do, and most of them rely on the active guidance of parents. Therefore, if you want your child to be smart, first of all, parents should be smart enough to know how to improve their children's intelligence and fully realize the importance of cultivating their children's intelligence.
For example, parents can do intellectual enlightenment for their children when they are young, and scientifically develop the left and right brains. Accompany your child to play puzzle games, so that your eyes, fingers, and brain thinking are all working.
Like myself before the child was 3 years old, I often played some finger games, often accompanied by children to do handicrafts, graffiti, and now my two children do handicrafts are much better than me, do not have to buy toys, they can use waste cardboard boxes to make their love ultraman toys and cards. Their brains are fast, their hands are very clever, and their intelligence is naturally out of the question.
Cultivate children's various abilities, thinking, reflexes, memory, etc
In addition to genetic influences, children's intelligence levels are also affected by acquired environmental factors. Therefore, parents should help their children the day after tomorrow to improve their thinking, reaction, memory and other abilities in an all-round way.
For example, from an early age, let children listen to story books, practice the ability to concentrate on listening to lectures, and then ask children to repeat, exercise expression skills, and improve memory. This whole process can effectively exercise the child's intelligence.
Usually in daily life, you can also play the game of adapting the story with the child, use the memory of the child's brain, let the child connect the story he knows with the objects in real life, then the child's imagination and language expression ability and thinking logic can be highly improved.
There are many specific ways to improve IQ, parents should read more books and learn, interact with children more, and believe that children's intelligence will naturally become higher and higher!
