Harvard University conducted a seven-year follow-up study of 11,321 male infants and 10,802 female infants, respectively, to track the level of intelligence and weight gains at 8 months of age, 4 years old and 7 years old, and found that children born in winter and spring weighed 210 grams more than children born in the next fall, were 0.19 centimeters taller, and scored two points higher on IQ tests, especially in the three months of December, January, and February.
The Harvard study concluded that a child's month of birth is related to IQ, and that children born in the smart month are smarter. #头条创作挑战赛#
Why is this so? Scientists have also conducted relevant studies, and there may be these reasons
The early stage of pregnancy is in the summer, when there will be more fruits and vegetables, and the mother has a bad appetite, but she can also eat.
In autumn, the baby is growing rapidly, the weather is not so hot, and the mother's appetite will also improve, which will also help the baby's growth and development.
In winter or spring, when the mother gives birth to a child, she will go out to play, and when the child is out of confinement, she will crawl and go out to play, which is just the spring when everything recovers, and this time also helps the child to exercise in big movements, the clothes are not too worn, and you can often go out to see the flowers and grass, which is more conducive to letting the child contact with the world.
Of course, the impact of the birth of this smart month on the child's IQ is not very large, because it is only said that the average score is two points higher, which will not be too much.
Parents want their children to be smarter, and they must do these 7 things well before the age of three
Piece 1: Pay attention to balanced nutrition when pregnant
If you eat too many sweets, it is easy to cause gestational diabetes, and gestational diabetes will hurt the child's brain and will make the child lose at the starting line.
In addition to avoiding gestational diabetes, our nutrition should also be balanced, not iron-deficient, calcium-deficient, and DHA-deficient, which are very important for the child's brain development.
Piece 2: Breastfeed your child as much as possible after birth
The child's first sip of milk is breast milk, the child's physique is better, and if the child's physique is good and not sick, the child can have more energy to see the world, and the child's growth and development can be avoided.
This is also very important for the child's brain, because if the child grows and develops fast, the brain will grow faster.
Piece 3: Add complementary food in time when the child is 6 months old
After all, the iron content in both breast milk and milk powder is not very high, and the child will have to consume a lot of iron through complementary food after 7 months to meet his needs for growth and development.
If the complementary food is added incorrectly or too late, resulting in iron deficiency anemia in the child, the child's brain memory will decline, and the reaction ability will also decline, which will directly affect the child's IQ.
Piece 4: After the child is one year old, let the child eat by himself as much as possible
The child eats by himself This seems to be a simple action, but for the child it is necessary to learn, the child exercises his fine movements when eating, he uses his hands to pinch the spoon, and then uses the spoon to fill the food in the bowl, this action actually needs the control of the brain for him, and it is also to exercise his fine work.
The more flexible his fingers are, the more developed his brain becomes, helping the child to become smarter.
Piece 5: The child likes to eat fingers at about 4 months, and parents must allow him to eat
It may seem like a dirty gesture for a child to eat his fingers, but it is an important period for a child to understand the world with his mouth.
At this time, the child's mouth is more sensitive, and when he bites his fingers with his mouth, he can feel whether the fingers are soft or hard, and the fingers can also feel that the tongue is soft and the palate is hard when the fingers are swirling in the child's mouth. What are the hands like?
This is the very famous cross-channel cognition in psychology, the faster the child's cross-channel cognitive development, the smarter the child will be.
Piece 6: Allow the child to lose something
Children especially like to lose things at about one year old, this is actually the nature of children, children learn about cause and effect by throwing things, because I lost this thing, so the ground sounds, and when I lose things, I also exercise his fine movements, so when the child loses things, do not scold, but guide him to throw things in one place, so that it is easier to clean up.
Number 7: Talk to your child
Before the child is one year old, he can actually feel what the parents are saying through the expression of the parents, and when the child is seven or eight months old, he can even understand the instructions of the parents, so the more he chats with the child, he can make the child's brain turn more, and the child's language development is faster than the IQ.
