Xiaoxin and her husband have been married for two years. This year, their jobs were relatively stable, so they started to prepare their pregnancy plans. However, after some thought, Xiaoxin always felt that the child's birth date was not suitable, so he postponed the pregnancy plan.
The friends around me expressed their incomprehension and thought that Xiaoxin did not need to be so precise about the birth time of the child. However, Xiaoxin explained that she did not actually choose a specific date of birth, but the season in which the child was born. According to her understanding, if a child is born in winter, his intelligence will be relatively higher, and this is also supported by scientific evidence.
Harvard University conducted a study that followed more than 10,000 children for seven years. Survey data shows that children born in early winter weigh about 210 grams more than children born in summer and autumn, are about 0.19 centimeters taller, and have a 0 to 6 points higher intelligence level. This suggests that children born in winter may be more intellectually advantageous.

Why are children born in autumn and winter smarter?
After comparing various data, the researchers found that newborns born in autumn and winter had a relatively large head circumference, and at the same time, these children were less likely to develop the disease overall.
Because of the cooler temperatures in autumn and winter, newborns are exposed to colder conditions from birth, which helps to strengthen their physique and resistance, reducing the likelihood of getting sick.
In addition, the temperature is lower in autumn and winter, and there are fewer germs living in the environment, so the chance of children being infected with germs will be greatly reduced.
At the same time, while children born in autumn and winter are born with cold weather, a warm spring soon follows, which allows them to adapt to better weather and reduce the likelihood of illness when they are still in their infancy. And a healthy body provides a solid foundation for intellectual development.
Every parent wants their child to be smart and excellent, so they always look for ways to cultivate their children's various abilities in their daily lives.
However, in fact, an excellent child does not only refer to intellectual excellence, only the comprehensive development of various abilities can make a child truly outstanding.

Parents should pay attention to cultivating their children's comprehensive ability
If life is compared to a marathon, then a short-term IQ advantage may give children a head start at the start, but in the long run, in order for children to win in the end, they also need to develop their comprehensive ability and lay a solid foundation for them.
Develop focus
Concentration is the key to a child's success in school and life. Parents should cultivate their children's concentration from an early age, and use different methods to exercise according to their different ages, so as to enhance their concentration. In the process of cultivating children's concentration, parents should provide a good environment for children to focus on one thing without being disturbed.
Develop self-discipline
Everyone has inertia, and children are no exception. For example, not wanting to do homework, not wanting to get out of bed, not wanting to go to cram school, etc. These manifestations are actually the result of a child's lack of self-discipline.
Without self-discipline, children will not be able to achieve good time management and make reasonable plans for their lives. Parents should set a good example of self-discipline and help their children develop self-discipline so that they can make good plans for their own affairs.
Emotion management
Many parents ignore the cultivation of children's emotional management, resulting in children easily losing control of their emotions. In fact, the ability to manage emotions is no less important than IQ. Only by understanding and controlling their own emotions can children better understand the emotions of others and get along better with others. Parents should encourage their children to express their emotions and teach them to manage their emotions.
A message from Guo's mother
In the process of children's training, parents should not only pay attention to the development of intelligence, but also pay attention to the comprehensive cultivation of other aspects. Only in this way can children excel in all aspects and become better.
