Look at the world from an early age, and you will have a world view.
Drew Gilpin Faust, the only female president of Harvard, believes that the broader a person's life, the bigger his pattern and the greater his future achievements, and the journey from childhood is the starting point for expanding his life.
To this end, she takes her children to a strange place every year to learn through tourism and feel different human life and cultural history.
In fact, tourism can not only broaden people's horizons, broaden the width of life, but also promote the development of the brain.
At the beginning of life, the number of baby neurons is the same, and they are not connected yet, which means that the starting line of a big family is the same. But soon after birth, neurons began to produce connections and synapses. The degree of brain development depends on external stimuli applied to the brain, and intelligence gradually differentiated.
Brain neurons are like roads. The more benign stimuli they receive, the more roads they open, the faster information transmission and the faster brain rotation. If it is used frequently, it can be changed from 1 lane to 2 lanes, and 2 lanes to 3 lanes, which becomes wider and extends in all directions. If it is not used frequently, the road will be damaged and gradually submerged in weeds.
The fastest period of brain development is 0-6 years old, and the maturity of brain is similar to that of adults around 12 years old. In other words, children's brains are the most plastic before 12 years old, especially before 6 years old.
May Day is coming quietly, and adults and children have a holiday. If they stay at home, they might as well go out with their children. As long as you play with your child seriously, you can promote brain development and improve your child's pattern and vision. What are you waiting for if you don't do this good deed?
So, where can we better develop the child's brain and improve his pattern?
1) Forest Park
There are trees, weeds, flowers, streams and all kinds of wild animals in the forest park. Close to nature, children can feel a world completely different from the steel forest, with different temperatures, humidity, sounds and smells, and send these wonderful and fresh information to the brain through the five senses, creating more valuable neurons and establishing an efficient and developed brain information network.
Children are natural observers, and they can always grasp the details that adults inadvertently ignore. In his eyes, flowing flowers, slow mountain breeze, flowing water, falling leaves, or small ants about to carry food are all wonderful.
At this time, if we can seize this small moment and observe and explore the mysteries of nature with our children, it will not improve their concentration.
You know, curiosity is an internal driving force. As long as you do what your child is interested in, you can get a super-focused child, which is much better than just signing up for a kindergarten class or an interest class.
According to the survey, those children with good academic performance in the United States love to go to museums and spend 30% of their time studying in them. A survey in Japan also shows that parents of college students in Tokyo, Japan love to take them to museums, science museums and art galleries since childhood.
As the saying goes, "paper is shallow", the collections in the museum are all historical, cultural and artistic treasures, and they are all three-dimensional and vivid objects. The visual impact and cultural impact brought by children's personal visits can stimulate children's interest in independent exploration.
More importantly, these extraordinary collections reflect the ultimate aesthetics of that era. Children can be free and unrestrained, and generate has more fantastic ideas. Under the long-term influence, children's aesthetics have improved, and their thinking has quietly changed, gradually forming a thinking mode different from ordinary people.
China has a history of more than 5,000 years, with a vast territory, countless places of interest and numerous famous mountains and rivers. Take the children for a walk during the holiday, see the magnificent rivers and mountains of the motherland with your own eyes, feel the rich history and culture, and learn about the humanities and life in other places.
The more children see, the wider the world becomes and the broader their thinking becomes. What they think is naturally deeper and farther than ordinary people.
What's more worth mentioning is that every time a child goes to a strange place, learns strange things and feels the impact of strange culture, it can help the brain to produce more neuronal connections, and more and more synapses are responsible for brain signal transmission. This also means that children have the opportunity to become smarter.
As Dr Margot Sunderland, a British child psychotherapist, said, taking your baby to explore nature or visit places of interest during holidays can activate many key areas of the brain.
However, Ma Mei wants to remind everyone that before departure, we must plan the route, do a good job of raiders, and understand the customs of the destination. If the family can talk about their experiences and feelings during the trip, the children's experience will be more profound. Also, it is not recommended that children under 3 years old go too far, just play locally.
