Girls of the same age usually perform well, while most boys look smart, but they perform poorly. They slide numbers in class, forget things, and don't look straight in their homework. ...
But why do boys who look smart usually "begin to understand late"?
Dr sperry, an American psychobiologist, put forward a theory of "division of labor between left and right brain". On this basis, the researchers found through experiments that the corpus callosum in boys' brains is usually smaller than that in girls of the same age.
The corpus callosum is located at the junction of the left and right brains, and its size determines the efficiency of the use of the left and right brains.
In other words, boys of the same age are weaker than girls in processing information, so girls tend to be more acute, while boys are more "single-minded" and begin to understand later.
At the same time, the study found that this situation usually disappears after boys enter puberty (10- 14 years old), which means that boys will not understand it until adolescence.
However, "starting late" does not mean that time before 10 can be wasted.
In fact, the key period of boys' education is 0-6 years old.
Boys begin to understand late because their brains are weak in processing information, but that doesn't mean they don't accept information. As the saying goes, "Many a mickle makes a mickle". In the critical period of 0-6 years old, children can develop good habits and accumulate enough knowledge, and then they can burst into due energy after they start to understand.
0-3 years old is the period of brain enlightenment.
The brain of children aged 0-3 will develop at a high speed. At this time, children need to receive diversified stimuli, such as vision, touch, hearing and taste.
Many early education games have played such a role, helping children develop their brains as much as possible and lay a good foundation.
3-6 years old is the brain strengthening period.
Children aged 3-6 years old enter a stable period of brain development, their brain weight is basically fixed, and children begin to improve their intelligence and ability rapidly.
Parents should seize the opportunity to help their children develop good habits, cultivate concentration and stimulate their thinking ability.
Habits are more detailed, such as hygiene habits, safety habits, study habits, reading habits and so on.
The cultivation of concentration and thinking ability is for children to achieve good results after enlightenment. Parents can use what they like and cultivate it through reading and thinking.
For example, boys like dinosaurs, nature and other elements when they are young, so this set of educational enlightenment "Situational Cave Book" is very good.
This set of four books, with the theme of dinosaur world, mysterious ocean, magical space and earth home, is especially suitable for children aged 0-6.
This book is full of turning pages. Through the interactive way of turning pages and digging, children can actively look for the content under the surface while reading, exploring and thinking.
Not only did I understand the popular science knowledge, but also stimulated my desire to explore and got the opportunity to think and concentrate in a very relaxed atmosphere.
Moreover, the material of this "situational flip book" is unbreakable, and the pages and pages inside are rounded, so you don't have to worry about tearing the book or scratching your child's hand.
