The discovery of neonatal capabilities is considered an important event in the history of science in the 20th century, a landmark leap in human understanding of ourselves. It provides the basis for the scientific development of a new life’s potential from the time of its birth. Every mother and father wants their baby to be white, chubby and smart. Is intelligence innate? Baby smart or not, you may wish to refer to the 5 performance of the first born. 1, love to laugh At birth, smart newborns may be more alert than other children. Some children from the beginning can raise their heads alone for a while, as if looking around, have a strong curiosity about life. An infant who is sensitive and responsive is often very intelligent. You will feel this when you hold him. If he seems to avoid something, it is a sign that he can distinguish between what is pleasant to him and what is not, and that is the beginning of mental activity. The more sensitive an infant is, the more likely he is to be satisfied as well. The earlier a child smiles, the more likely it is to be intelligent. Although this is not a completely reliable sign, it is a symbol. Babies who start laughing early often become bright and active children. 2. Weight Large, healthy babies are more likely to be born to mothers who were well nourished and cared for during pregnancy. These mothers are also more likely to give their babies the best educational help at home, which will show up later in intelligence tests. Heavier babies are also likely to have psychological advantages in life, have better physical fitness, and thus have reasons to be more active than other children. For example, they can eat more food at a time and thus do not need to be fed as often and can turn their energy to more intellectual aspects of activity. Thus, from birth, heavier, more attractive children may find themselves in a pleasant, emotionally supportive world compared to lighter children and will take advantage of this initial good fortune in many ways. Although very bright children are often larger and heavier at birth, it’s not always the case! 3, love to imitate 8 hours after birth, the baby can imitate the mother tongue out. Newborns have the ability to imitate the facial expressions of adults. When the newborn is in a quiet awake state, 20 to 25 cm away from the newborn’s face, let him look at your face. First, stick out your tongue, repeat the action slowly every few seconds, and then stop. If he keeps looking at your face, this means he may be moving his tongue around in his mouth, and after a while, he or she will stick his or her tongue out of his or her mouth. If you do the open mouth motion to your newborn and repeat it several times, he will also learn to open his little mouth. In addition, newborns will imitate pouting, smiling and sad expressions. Mom and dad may want to communicate more actively with the newborn baby, often to the newborn baby to do some action, from simple to complex, to improve his imitation ability, conducive to the newborn’s intellectual development. Perception is the first to emerge in the psychological development of infants, and vision is an important part of perception. Living in a suitable visual stimulation environment from a young age will lay a good foundation for their perceptual and cognitive development. The newborn likes to look at things, especially books, things with bright colors, such as red balls or black and white bullseye charts, bar charts, Chinese characters, and so on. He especially likes to look at faces. Mothers often consciously ask their babies to look at their own faces, lean over and speak to them, call them by name, or smile at them, while constantly changing the angle of their gaze. The “eye to eye” can convey the mother’s love for the child and enhance the mother-child relationship. 4, sensitive sense of smell Newborn babies like to lie close to the mother’s arms, when the baby cries, you put your hand on the baby’s abdomen and gently press the two upper arms, the baby will not cry. Newborns can finely identify taste, for salty, bitter, sour taste will have an unpleasant expression. When smelling an odor, there is a reaction of increased heart rate and change in activity, and he can distinguish the smell of his mother’s milk pad. When in good condition, he also stares and smiles at you, sucks his hand or grabs the hand of his interlocutor. If you observe carefully, you will find that your baby likes to knock when he gets something, and will take it in another hand and knock again after he feels that this hand is not knocking loudly. Babies love to knock things, no matter what they get, they want to bring it to knock. Babies are very interested in small things that they can grasp. They can hold a bottle well and may pick things up with their fingers, change things from one hand to the other, lift, shake, push, pull, squeeze, and throw things that are close to them. When he holds a toy in his hand, he will vigorously shake the toy with his hand, or heavily throw it on the ground to hear the sound it makes. 5, amazing motor talent â‘´motor ability The newborn has many innate motor skills. For example, with hands against his feet, the infant can take advantage of the momentum to crawl forward. (2) Walking reflexes Hold the baby’s bare feet upright on the bed, he will step forward “catwalk”, a good child walking like a walk. (3) Swimming reflex A baby born underwater can swim around in the water without choking. (4) Pulling reflex When the index finger is placed in the palm of the newborn, the finger is immediately felt to be clenched by the baby (grasping reflex). The examiner can use this to lift the infant in the air for a few seconds, just as human ancestors did when they were suspended from a branch in the forest, etc.
