The brain is a very important part of the human body.
Many aspects of human feelings, actions, and thoughts rely on the brain to accomplish it.
The sulcus is the large and small folds in the cerebral cortex, the sulcus gyrus, which are the basis for higher neural activity.
The grooved brain is a unique feature of some large mammals, and the complex folds allow the small brain to have a large surface area, resulting in higher intelligence.
The sulcus develops rapidly during pregnancy and is fully formed at birth.
As the brain develops further during infancy, the shape and depth of the cerebral sulcus continues to change relatively into adulthood.
Since the human brain has more than a million sensory regions, the process of sensory integration is quite complex and delicate.
If there is too little early sensory stimulation or a dysfunctional function of sensory integration, the child may appear restless, unresponsive, poor self-confidence, passive withdrawal, grumpy and other problems in the future, thus affecting the child's future development.
The above discussion shows that the shape and depth of the groove gyrus provide a physiological basis for the development of cognitive ability and the improvement of intellectual level in the brain.
So how do you make this foundation more solid?
Studies have shown that 3-6 years old is a critical period for the shape and depth of the brain sulcus to further expand.
But before the age of six, children are unable to produce abstract thinking and use abstract concepts to complete the cognition of external things.
Therefore, children must constantly increase the sensory stimulation and exercise experience with the movements of the body and limbs, and through the brain to adjust and integrate the effective operation of the body and limb movements, so as to cultivate the brain's ability to store, process and extract information, that is, to cultivate children's cognitive ability.
In other words, if children aged 3-6 years do not promote cognitive improvement through a large number of effective exercises, the shape and depth of the brain sulcus cannot be effectively expanded.
So how do you train your child?
In the process of raising children, we pay more and more attention to the safety and hygiene of children, resulting in intentional and unintentional avoidance movements. Coupled with the lack of natural space in the city, the miniaturization and closure of modern families ultimately reduce the opportunities for children to exercise and communicate.
Overprotectiveness, neglect to interact with children because they are too busy with work, limited experience of elders who take on the responsibility of childcare, and relatively simple concepts and contents of family life can lead to a significant reduction in the chance that children will get the emotional stimulation they deserve in the process of growing up.
Children who like to be quiet and immobile, or children whose parents limit their frequency of physical activity and blindly read books, may affect the overall development of the future due to the lack of integrated development of sensory ability.
The integrated development of sensory ability is the most important foundation for children's behavioral, cognitive, and emotional development.
Problems always develop from simple to complex, rather than trying to correct problems after the problem, it is better to use scientific methods to prevent problems before they occur, and give children a balanced and sufficient environment of various sensory stimulation.
Let children get the comprehensive development of vestibular, ontology, vision, touch and hearing in play, and improve the function of sensory integration!
