When other families are considering enrolling their children in early childhood classes or buying some books suitable for children to read, Xixi's daily life circle is two points and one line at home and downstairs. Even at home, Xixi just plays with her little toys or watches all kinds of cartoons, and then waits for her mother to cook before eating and sleeping.
There is no denying that it may be wandering around the downstairs of the community every day to ensure that children have enough outdoor sports. Xixi is really well fed by her mother. She is very strong and not small.
But Xixi's mother can be said to be divorced from the mainstream of society, which really has no influence on her children's future.
1. Do you know the golden age of children's brain development? 1, the first golden period of brain development: 6 months to 3 years old.
From 6 months to 3 years after the baby is born, the brain cells of the baby divide and proliferate rapidly, and the brain enters a long-term phase. At this stage, children may not be able to express their needs and interests well in their own language, so parents need to observe and explore their interests patiently.
2. The second golden period of brain development: three to six years old.
When the child is 3-6 years old, the rest 10% ~ 20% of brain development will sprint at this stage. Parents should ensure that their children have enough sleep and balanced nutrition.
Now every parent should know the time and characteristics of children's brain development, so what should be done specifically? Perhaps many parents will still feel a little confused. Let's study together. What points should parents master during the critical period of children's brain development?
Second, in the critical period, parents should do these three things well to make their children better and ensure that their children are well nourished.
Now parents attach great importance to children's nutrition, and now the national living standard has been greatly improved. So today's children will not lack nutrition. Here, we will focus on foods that have a negative impact on children's brain development:
Fried food: Fried food usually contains trans fatty acids, which will reduce children's memory.
Foods with high salt content: Eating too much salt is very harmful to your baby's health and has an impact on your child's kidneys and brain, especially high-salt foods such as mustard tuber and bean paste.
Foods containing monosodium glutamate: Babies should not eat more foods containing monosodium glutamate, which will affect their intellectual development.
2. Ensure children's exploration opportunities and stimulate brain development.
Children's desire to explore is innate. As they get older, what they want to explore will gradually change. As long as it is safe and harmless to children, parents can rest assured that their children will explore. Don't hinder children's opportunities to explore because they are afraid of getting dirty clothes and hands.
3. Based on children's interests
The vast majority of parents in this world will have the hope that their children will succeed. Many parents began to listen to Chinese classics such as San Zi Jing, Di Zi Gui and The Analects of Confucius when their children were very young, and some parents insisted on playing classical music to their children every day in order to improve their quality.
But if children are not interested in these learning materials provided by their parents, it may have the opposite effect and make them bored. Although children are young, they also have their own preferences and ideas. Parents must be guided by their children's interests and provide corresponding exploration resources according to their interests.
After understanding the key points of children's intellectual development, what can parents do to help children improve their intelligence? Let's read on.
Third, to make children smarter, parents need to know how to seize opportunities and help their children improve their intelligence 1. The effect of outdoor activities is beyond imagination.
Many parents think that outdoor activities are just going out to play and have nothing to do with learning knowledge. In fact, outdoor activities can make children feel the world at close range, make children's cognition of the world more diversified, and bring incomparable learning effects to books.
2. Buy suitable toys and books for children.
For very young children, their way of learning is through play. Playing games or toys and other fresh and interesting things is a particularly good way for children to learn. Parents should never blindly follow their own ideas and come to the conclusion that children are tired of playing with things.
On the contrary, parents should buy more toys and books suitable for their children's age and interests. Especially when buying books, don't just buy some simple learning books such as arithmetic, pinyin and literacy cards to help children study in the future, which will only make children bored with reading and dispel their curiosity and interest in learning.
3. Pay close attention to the sensitive period of children.
With the improvement of living standards, various parenting concepts and early education institutions emerge one after another. Some young parents, in order not to lose to their children at the starting line, signed up for more than one early education class when their children were still in infancy. Some parents even read to children who are not yet full moon. On the contrary, some parents think that children are too young to remember anything, and there is no need to work so hard to teach nothing.
In a word, every parent has his own unique ideas about children's education, and different family education methods are also very different. But the fact is that although every parent has his own ideas, in the face of children's education, everyone is actually confused. They always think they have a unique theory, but they don't know if their ideas are correct. In fact, the most important basis for how to educate children is based on their needs and interests. It is impossible for a newborn child to be interested in the books his parents read, because their IQ has not developed to this point and they don't need to learn this knowledge. With the improvement of children's IQ day by day, they will naturally become interested in the corresponding knowledge and skills. This is the time when parents should give strong support.
Many parents are puzzled by the endless educational resources on the market. Many parents spare no effort to keep their children from losing at the starting line. In fact, the truly effective and scientific way of education is to carefully observe children's needs and provide them with the most needed exploration resources. This is the most correct way.
