Every parent wants his child to be smart and become the pride of parents, so from the moment of pregnancy, parents start prenatal education, and then do early education and various brain development training after the child is born, just to let the child win at the starting line.
However, many parents don't understand that children's brains have developmental stages. When the child's brain is in the golden period of development, giving correct guidance and training can promote the development of the child's brain. Richard, a professor of child psychology at Harvard, found that children have three opportunities to "become smart" before they are 6 years old. Parents don't miss it!
Judging from the development of the brain, the child's brain will enter a stage of rapid development before the age of 6, especially at the age of 3-5. The development of the brain has reached 80% of that of adults, and it can still live. After the age of 6, the brain development is only about 20%. During this period, we need to constantly stimulate children to stimulate the potential of the brain.
Italian educator Montessori also said: "Children will experience various sensitive periods before they are 6 years old." For example, language ability, emotional intelligence, sports ability and so on will be developed, which is the key for children to learn in many sensitive periods. Parents' guidance can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, early education at the age of 0-6 is the key to widen the gap between children.
The first one: when the child is born to 3 years old.
Children are always curious about the new things around them, and especially like to imitate their parents' actions. If they can accomplish one thing, they will feel satisfied and have a strong sense of competition. When you play with your children, they always want to hit you. At this time, parents should not hinder their children too much, but encourage them appropriately, which is more conducive to their brain development.
Second: children aged 5 to 7.
Children's 5 -7 years old is the second golden period of brain development. During this period, children's sense of competition will become very weak, their personality will become very dull, and they are willing to drag their feet. Faced with this situation, parents should never criticize their children for procrastination, but should correct their shortcomings. Take this opportunity to help children stimulate their brains. We can buy educational books for their children, which will give them more stimulation.
The third child: a child aged 8 to 10.
Children's 8-10 years old is the third golden period of children's brain development. At this time, children are generally in primary school, and they will have rebellious psychology. If parents don't handle it properly, children may get tired of learning or not listen to you. Parents need to slowly correct their children's learning attitudes and living habits, and don't criticize them severely. Especially when children encounter difficulties, parents will spend time with them, which will deepen the feelings between parents and children.
1, don't be overprotective.
Some parents may think that their children are still young and should be protected. In fact, proper protection is possible, but excessive protection will make children lose their independence and even have serious rebellious psychology. In the process of children's growth, they need to constantly accept challenges and setbacks. Only after experiencing failure can children become stronger.
2. Let children exercise moderately
According to research, exercise can better promote children's brain development. Therefore, when parents are in the golden age of their children's brain development, we can take their children for outdoor sports, such as playing football, running and jumping, hide and seek, etc. In this process, you can exercise your child's concentration and creativity, and at the same time exercise your body.
3. Guide children to read
Reading is the best way to promote brain development. In daily life, we can let children read more books or picture books, and guide children to think independently in this process, which will make children's brains accept all kinds of information, increase their knowledge and stimulate their potential.
A survey by a children's expert group in the United States shows that telling children bedtime stories every day can make them smarter and promote sleep. Children can develop the following abilities in the process of listening: IQ, EQ, reading ability, vocabulary, thinking ability and so on.
