Many parents are very concerned about their children’s brain development and often ask, “Where can I find toys or teaching aids for brain development? In fact, there are teaching aids for developing children’s brains everywhere in our lives, and it is not necessary to buy any teaching aids. 1. Training category ability Whenever we eat a kind of food, we should tell the child what it is, is vegetables, fruits, candy, snacks, etc. Tell them the characteristics of various foods, when the time comes you can mix several kinds of food, let the child according to the type of items, color, taste, use, shape to classify. You can also ask your child a few more questions by sorting: “What other foods?” “What food can replace it?” “What foods have the same purpose as it?” “What other uses do they have besides eating?” This is done to train the child’s divergent thinking. You can also take your child’s toys and have him or her put them in categories by purpose, color, and shape. Then ask your child to say: What kind of car have you seen? The child may say: fire truck, ambulance, engineering rescue truck, crane ……. Do we have these cars in our toys? Have the child recite them to practice his or her memory. You can also let the child blindfolded, touch you with your hands, through the perception of the child’s hands, practice the child’s ability to recognize concrete images, and develop the right side of the child’s brain. When your child wakes up in the morning, you can ask your child, “Where is your left hand? Where is your right foot? Should I put on my left shoe or my right shoe? Help me find the left shoe! Is the sweater undershirt on the inside or the outside? Should you wear your shirt inside or outside the undershirt? Ask your baby to help your mommy put the cup on the table! Put it in the cupboard! And so on. When standing in line for shopping, ask your 3-year-old: How many people are in front of mommy? How many people are standing in front of mommy? How many people from the back to the front is mommy? This way the child knows exactly where the mother is in the space and also learns the concept of counting and sorting things by number. You can also ask children to tell how many grandmothers, grandfathers, uncles, aunts, sisters and brothers are in the line. By distinguishing people of different ages, children learn category recognition skills. At the same time, children can also learn to wait and know how to observe social ethics. Don’t throw away the small plastic bottles you normally use, clean them and use them as toys for your child: children within 1 year old can practice putting small bottles in big bottles or putting sugar rice flowers in small bottles to practice their fine hand movements and hand-eye-brain combination. 1~2 years old can let your child build small bottles into pagodas by size. See how many bottles your child can build. You may want to take this time to teach your child to recognize the “number”. Put them in the water at bath time and put a stone in one bottle and let it sink into the water. Let your child store the buoyancy information in the right side of the brain in advance through the floating bottles. This way the child must have fun and learn the knowledge. But after playing be sure to tell your child that the bottles have to go home together to rest and the baby has to help them. Let the child develop the habit of cleaning up after the toy is used. (Be sure to pay attention to the small bottle cap, do not let the child swallowed.) 3. training graphic recognition skills Walking down the street with a 2 to 3-year-old child, see a large billboard, you can tell your child that this is a rectangle, this is a square. So, what in our house is also this shape? The child may say: the table surface is rectangular, the TV fluorescent screen is square. When you see the ball your child is playing with, ask your child: What is the same shape as it? The child may answer: an apple, a soccer, an orange, the moon, a balloon, a baby’s fat face, etc. If your child says a lot without much effort, it means your child has good fluency of thinking. You can adopt my method and teach your child to recognize pentagons, cylinders, cones, trapezoids, hexahedrons, etc. 4. Training image expansion parents can play “family” with their children. If the child has been to the hospital, let the child be the “doctor” and the mother be the “child”. Through the process of the “doctor” to the “child” to see the doctor, so that the child in the association or performance, to know the “doctor” and “child The image of “doctor” and “child”. You can also pretend to be a crying child or a child who does not want to get a shot, and talk to the doctor. Your child may even be able to say something that surprises you. Through games, children can improve their image recognition skills, practice their language skills, and reduce or overcome their fear of doctors. When you take your child out, for example, on a bus, you may want to give your child a task beforehand: “When we go to Grandma’s house today, remember carefully how many stops we have to pass? What are the special markings at Grandma’s house so that you can recognize it quickly? We often take our children out into nature, so that they can get to know plants, animals, living and non-living things, so that they can recognize and identify more. For example, let the child look for weeds and wild flowers that he has not seen before, which requires the child to make comparisons and observe carefully, increasing the child’s insight. In addition, you can ask your child to say what kind of tree leaves he or she sees in pieces, so that he or she can recognize the whole from the parts, and further distinguish the differences and similarities between different images and objects. In fact, life experiences and scientific knowledge are everywhere in our lives. The key to developing the whole brain is to be a mindful parent, to improve our own knowledge, to adopt a flexible approach and to impart knowledge to our children without losing time, and our children will gain a lot.
