I'm sure you've all encountered this situation:
This kid looks like he's grown up to be very smart;
You see how full his forehead is, and at first glance he is a wise man;
You see that his earlobes are so big, and at first glance he is a blessed man......
There are many more like this, this is "physiognomy", many old people believe in this, of course, it is also very happy to be praised for this.
After all, everyone wants their children to be smart and blessed in the future.
However, a Harvard professor found through research that through the child's appearance and some demeanor characteristics, it is indeed possible to judge the child's personality and intelligence level to a certain extent, that is, the more scientific "smart appearance".
1. I love to laugh when I see people
As the saying goes, people who love to laugh are not bad luck, especially children who love to laugh when they see people, and they are the most likable.
Harvard professors have found through neuropsychological research that laughter can indeed make people smarter, especially for children.
Because when a child laughs, it can deeply stimulate the amygdala and anterior cingulate cortex, prompting the brain to secrete abundant dopamine.
Dopamine is the brain's reward system, which gives people a strong sense of satisfaction and promotes the production of more neuronal links and synapses.
In addition, dopamine may also bring a feeling of happiness, which can stimulate the brain compartment more deeply, and promote the hippocampus, commonly known as the memory processing factory, to produce theta waves, which is conducive to the improvement of memory.
Therefore, children who love to laugh will be much stronger in terms of attention, memory, and motor ability than those who do not like to laugh.
So it's okay to make the child happy, let him be a happy, laughing child.
2. The eyes are clear and smart
When it comes to eyes, the most impressive thing is the idiom that looks like a torch, which also represents the consciousness of wisdom.
Harvard professors have found through research that people's eyes are clear and smart, which is also related to intelligence.
Because most of the information we come into contact with every day comes from the eyes, it is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul.
Children with clear and agile eyes will receive more information and be able to accurately transmit information to the brain.
Especially when reading and studying, the brain receives it faster, and the reaction of the hands and feet will be faster.
So when it's okay, you can let your child do some tracking training, walk mazes, puzzles, etc., to stimulate the development of the brain, especially at the age of 3, because at this time, the child's vision develops the fastest, so let him look at his mobile phone less and practice his eyes more.
3. Full forehead
Since ancient times, people with full foreheads have been considered to be either rich or expensive, and Harvard University has found through research that people with full foreheads are still largely a smart person.
Because it is responsible for what to think and pay attention to, decision-making ability, creative ability, learning ability, etc. are all affected by the prefrontal cortex, and it is mainly controlled.
The prefrontal cortex is mainly located in the nerve area behind the forehead and eyes.
Therefore, a child with a full forehead indicates that the prefrontal cortex is more developed, which means that the child will be stronger than the average child in decision-making, memory, self-control, and learning ability.
However, don't worry if your child's forehead is not full enough, because the prefrontal lobe peak is 12-14 years old, and most cases it does not mature until the age of 20.
Therefore, this time can allow children to do more housework, learn a little talent, get in touch with nature more, and promote the development of the prefrontal lobe.
Especially the most important time, you can let your child be in a daze, empty your brain more, relieve stress and activate the prefrontal lobe.
Every parent likes that their child is smart enough to grow up healthy, and if your child has one or even two of the above 3 characteristics, congratulations.
If you don't have any of them, don't be discouraged, because these can be cultivated, and the brain is also very plastic, so don't put too much pressure on your child.
