When a baby is born, his brain has hundreds of billions of nerve cells (as many as the stars in the galaxy)! In the first year of his life, his brain also grows countless neural connections called neural keys. Developing your baby’s brain power is not as complicated as you might think, and whether your baby is smart or not lies largely in the way your parents raise him. The following three behaviors are the wrong demonstration, will make the child stupid: 1, can never win the game If we let the child play a game, the game is more difficult than the child’s existing understanding, but we do not do any explanation to him, the result is that the child always do not know how to play, every time you try to fail, then the child will feel worse and worse, without others, he will feel very stupid . 2, premature knowledge transfer Some parents who are keen on so-called “intellectual development” actively train their young children in reading, writing and arithmetic. Those academic knowledge is not in line with the cognitive characteristics of young children, although the child can also rely on parroting the way rote memorization, but do not understand, so often do not promote their intellectual development, but to bring a lot of pressure on the child to learn, reduce interest in learning, frustrating the self-confidence. 3, a lot of negative hints There is a story full of moral calls: there is a beautiful princess, since childhood was a witch shut in a high tower above, every day can only see the witch. The witch said to her every day, “You look so ugly that anyone who sees you will be afraid.” The princess believed the witch’s words and was afraid to escape for fear of being ridiculed by others. Until one day a prince passed under the tower, saw the fairy-like beauty of the princess, was amazed and rescued her. Only then did this princess look into the mirror and realize how beautiful she was. In fact, many parents may inadvertently play the role of “witch”. Calling a child “stupid” is the mantra of some parents, even with love. However, what the child receives is the message “stupid”; sometimes, parents who want their children to become a dragon intentionally or unintentionally compare their children with others, “Look how smart Ding Ding is!” “Auntie Li’s daughter can use English to talk to foreigners, she is younger than you.” …… Sometimes, parents show modesty in front of friends and outsiders, “My son is no good, he’s very stupid.” “This child is very brainless.” Drowned in such a flood of negative innuendo all day long, how can a child not genuinely believe that he or she is really stupid? Here are 10 areas of exercise that will make your child smarter: 1. Music lessons Plain and simple: studies show that music lessons make people smarter. In fact, music training can help everyone’s intellectual development, whether older or younger. A growing number of studies have found that music training is beneficial in enhancing students’ learning abilities in the classroom. 2. It’s nonsense to say that being limber must mean being simple-minded Some athletic kids become bad learners because they spend too much time on the playing field instead of in the library. But if you can make sure your child contributes a more balanced amount of time to both, will he still become a simple-minded, four-legged idiot? Quite the opposite, in fact, as studies have shown that maintaining exercise habits enhances learning ability. 3. Don’t read to your child, read with him Is your child starting to develop reading skills? When you read to him, don’t let him just stare at the pictures in the book, pull his attention to the words. Read with him instead of reading to him. Research shows that this will help your child lay down the basic skills of reading. Scientists suggest that such parent-child reading can only be effective in advancing a child’s early language development if there is a clear focus on developing the child’s own reading skills. 4, sleep deprivation will make children dumb Research has found that the lack of 1 hour of sleep will make the 6th grade brain level drop to the 4th grade brain level, this is because the loss of 1 hour of sleep brain state, it is equivalent to the brain cognitive ability instantly set back 2 years. There is a clear correlation between academic performance and average sleep duration. 5, without self-discipline, IQ is meaningless a. If you want to predict the future success of a child’s life, self-control is far more influential than IQ talent. Numerous studies have confirmed that self-control is one of the most important building blocks of personal success …… Students with high levels of self-control outperform their impulsive peers in any academic category – because they are less likely to skip class, spend less time watching TV and other pastimes, and are more proactive in their learning efforts. Predicting a child’s academic performance based on self-control levels is much more accurate than relying on IQ scores. b. Good grades come more from hard work than natural intelligence. Research shows that the diligence index can predict the level of success in the workplace, however it can predict much more than that. Hardworking people do better in school, are less likely to get involved in crime, have more stable marriages, and even live longer – because they are less likely to indulge in bad habits like smoking and drinking, they are less likely to have strokes, less likely to have high blood pressure, and less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease. c. What is the best thing for a child’s life? That is toughness. One of the most shocking findings in recent years in the U.S. education community is that the best predictor of success is the non-cognitive skill of “GRIT toughness,” rather than the cognitive skill represented by IQ. “Toughness” is defined in one sentence: the perseverance and passion to work hard toward long-term goals. 6.Learning is a proactive process True learning is not a passive indoctrination, but an active search. When learning knowledge, you can’t just listen and read, but test your understanding of it. Our brains have evolved over a long period of time to learn by “doing something”, not by just listening and reading. This is why for many skills learning, compared to rote memorization, spend 2/3 of the time to test and think about their own understanding of knowledge, learning will be better, because this will turn from passive learning to active learning, this is the 2/3 law. 7, eat well to learn well It is best to let children eat healthy every day, because research has found that what children eat is also related to academic performance. Everyone knows you have to eat a good, healthy breakfast on test day. Foods high in carbohydrates, fiber and easy to digest, such as oatmeal, are among the best choices. What you may not know, however, is that what you eat the week before the test also has an impact on the test. 8. Happy children = successful children Happy children are more likely to grow up to be talented and accomplished. Having a sense of well-being is a huge advantage in a world that emphasizes success and merit. Numerous research studies have found that, on average, happy people have more opportunities for success in both work and relationships than unhappy people. They get better performance evaluations, more opportunities to get respectable jobs, and even higher incomes. They are more likely to get a good marriage and maintain a more harmonious and happy life after marriage. 9, peer group is crucial As we all know, parents’ genes have a fundamental impact on children, and children’s innate intelligence level and innate personality traits are determined by their parents. So who has the greatest influence on the child’s behavior in the process of later development? It is the peers. A study conducted by economist Bruce Sacerdote at Dartmouth College found that dormitory roommates had a significant impact on college students’ GPA GPAs. He found that students with relatively low GPAs generally improved their GPAs after becoming roommates with students with high GPAs, and vice versa. 10. Trust your kids Trust that your kids can get better and better, and this trust will make them better. Rosenthal, a social psychologist, conducted a follow-up experiment with elementary school students: teachers randomly selected students in their classes and gave them the title of “good learners. These children then attended classes as normal as the rest of the class and did not receive any additional academic help. However, at the end of the year. Almost all of the children who were randomly categorized as “learners” had improved their IQ by at least 10 points, and 30% of them had improved their IQ by 22 points or more. In addition to these conscious exercises for your baby, you should also pay attention to the experience of being with your baby ~ spend a little time every day playing with your baby. Even if it’s just for 10 minutes, even if it’s a game that seems boring to you, it does provide an effective outlet for your baby’s energy and experience the baby’s world. Set aside a little time each week to enthusiastically play those games you particularly “hate” with your baby. Play dress-up and let your baby be the director, letting him design your character. Parenting is the most challenging job, especially when you’re tired, impatient, frustrated, or frustrated, and it’s harder to meet your baby’s demands. So, take care of yourself to be more beneficial to your baby!
