How to correctly understand children's left and right brain development and potential stimulation? 1 Fangfang is a lively and clever boy. Smart and studious, mom and dad have high expectations of each other, hoping to turn Fangfang into a super prodigy. Traditional early education pays attention to intellectual development and the development of children's left brain potential. Recently, some early education institutions attract students under the banner of "developing children's right brain potential", which has really attracted the attention of some parents. However, rational education experts believe that since there are left and right functional divisions in the human brain, the human brain must develop in a balanced way in order to fully develop children's potential. Therefore, the educational concept of whole brain development came into being. Fangfang's parents also feel that the education of whole brain development is more reasonable and more conducive to the growth of children. However, they don't know how to develop their children's left and right brains.
3-6 years old is a critical period for children's intellectual potential development, and it is also the best period for emotional health development. Studies in psychology and human brain science show that the left brain is mainly engaged in logical thinking and the right brain is mainly engaged in image thinking. Then, in order to develop children's left and right brains, we should not only know what the development of children's left brain includes, but also know what the development of children's right brain includes, and how to develop children's left and right brains, and pay attention to the taboos when developing children's left and right brains. So, how to develop children's left and right brains?
First of all, the development of children's left and right brains can not be ignored.
There is a very clear division of labor between the left and right brain, that is, the left brain is mainly engaged in logical thinking and the right brain is mainly engaged in image thinking, so emphasizing any one of them will lead to unbalanced brain development. Obviously, "left leaning against right" or "right leaning against left" is not a wise choice. The purpose of left brain development is to give full play to the advantages of left brain, not at the expense of right brain development; The purpose of developing the right brain is to give full play to the advantages of the right brain, rather than replacing the left brain thinking with brain thinking. Therefore, the development of children's left and right brains can not be ignored. Only by developing both left and right brains can we promote the balanced development of children's brains and promote their all-round development.
Second, children's left and right brain development promote each other.
For normal people, the functions of the left and right hemispheres of the brain are balanced and coordinated, which not only perform their duties, but also closely cooperate and complement each other to form a unified control system. Without the development of left brain function, right brain function cannot be fully developed, and vice versa. The development of left brain contributes to the development of right brain, and the development of right brain will also promote the development of left brain. Whether it is left brain development or right brain development, the ultimate goal is to promote the balanced and coordinated development of left and right brains, so that the whole brain can be developed.
Third, the development of the left and right brain is a mutual means and purpose.
Because people's left brain is mainly engaged in logical thinking, not only in charge of listening, speaking, reading and writing, but also in charge of abstract thinking, while the right brain is in charge of spatial perception, which is superior to the left hemisphere in the perception and analysis of nonverbal visual images, and music, artistic ability and emotional response are more related to the right hemisphere. Then, we can organically combine the two to serve and promote each other as a means and purpose. In this way, only by developing children's intuitive action thinking, concrete image thinking and abstract logical thinking can children's all-round development be promoted.
Only in early education, we should pay attention to the fact that the development of children's left and right brains can not be neglected, and the development of children's left and right brains can promote each other, and the development of left and right brains is the means and purpose of each other, which is the real early education of whole brain development and can promote the all-round development of children.
How to correctly understand the development and potential stimulation of children's left and right brains? 2 If children want to win in the future competitive environment, the key point lies in the development of left and right brain functions sooner or later. Although the tasks of the left and right brain are different, in practice, the functions of the two sides cannot be divided into two and develop independently. On the contrary, they need close cooperation to give full play to their bodies and potential. Do you know what role the left and right brains play in children's physical and mental growth? Does your child have an advantage in the left brain? Or right brain advantage? How to stimulate left and right brain development in a balanced way?
Open the secret of the little head
Medical research has found that the number of neonatal brain neurons is about 654.38+0.4 billion, almost the same as that of adults. In other words, babies have the intellectual potential of adults, and their functions can be started as long as they input instructions (learning things). Therefore, if children want to give full play to the role of the brain, they must first understand the secret circuit in the baby's little head and design the learning content according to their needs.
What is the difference between left and right brain functions?
The brain is divided into left brain and right brain, which has been confirmed by modern medicine. Norman Cashewent, an American neuroscientist, first put forward this evidence. After his death, he dissected the brain and found that there was asymmetry between the left and right brains, in which the left brain was bigger and had a lot to do with language. In addition, Dr. Roger Sperry of California Institute of Technology found that the left brain and the right brain are connected by the corpus callosum, and the thinking modes of these two hemispheres are completely different. The left brain tends to think in language and logic, while the right brain tends to think in images and mental images, communicating with each other at a speed of 65.438+000 billion bits per second. Nevertheless, in these two hemispheres, if children under two years old have brain function damage, brain function can still be repositioned, and the uninjured half of the brain undertakes the work of the injured half of the brain, and the performance is no different from that of the average person. Next, let's see the functional differences between the left brain and the right brain more clearly.
Left brain: The left brain is connected with the nervous system of the right hemisphere and is responsible for its movement and perception. So the right ear and the right visual field are dominated by the left brain. The biggest feature of the left brain is that it has a language center, which is responsible for speaking, understanding words, numbers, composition, logic, judgment, analysis, straight lines, etc., so it is called "wisdom brain". It can break down complex things into simple elements. More inclined to think rationally.
Right brain: The right brain is connected with the nervous system of the left hemisphere and is in charge of its movement and perception. So the left ear and left visual field are dominated by the right brain. The right brain is in charge of images and feelings and has the ability to appreciate painting and music, so it is called "artistic brain". There is rhythm, imagination, color, size, shape, space and creativity. Burden more emotional processing. More inclined to intuitive thinking.
How do the left and right brains cooperate?
The operation process of the left and right brain is that the left brain collects information through language, converts the information received from the five senses of vision, hearing, touch, smell and taste into language, and then transmits it to the right brain for impression (and so on), and then returns it to the left brain for logical processing, and then the right brain shows creativity or inspiration, and finally teaches the left brain to carry out language processing.
Baby whole brain development game
For infants, as long as they master the main abilities of the brain, they can develop more and more complex abilities in the future. The main functions of the left and right brains can be integrated into six categories: language, memory, reading, mathematical thinking, creation and problem solving. Parents should help the baby to induce various abilities of the left and right brain in a relaxed and natural way before the brain is stereotyped, that is, to develop the whole brain function through games. Next, we will provide game ideas that can stimulate the six abilities of babies aged 0 ~ 3. As long as there is a slight change, patterns will emerge one after another.
Problem solving ability training
0 ~ 6 months' play ideas: Tie one end of the rope to the baby's hands or feet, and tie a toy to the other end, and hang it directly above the baby, so that he can observe the relationship between the body movements and the toys. Suddenly, from different angles, I showed my baby's favorite toy to him.
6 ~ 12 months game idea: when the baby has imitation behavior, give the baby some exaggerated actions to induce him to imitate. Put your baby's favorite toys in different containers and encourage him to take them out. Put obstacles in the baby's crawling path and encourage him to climb or remove obstacles.
3. 1 year-old game idea: hide the candy in your hand and let the baby guess which hand it is. Give the baby a container with a lid, show him how to take it down and put it on, and encourage him to imitate it. Put the toys higher or farther and encourage the baby to get them.
2-year-old game idea: let the baby learn to turn the door handle to open or close the door. Let the baby learn to turn on the tap and turn off the tap. Train the baby to unbutton and pull. Let the baby learn to climb stairs.
3-year-old game idea: Play clapping games and let children imitate the rhythm. Play the game said by the teacher, say "what the teacher said" continuously, or don't say "what the teacher said" continuously, and the last two methods are mixed. Tie the rope in a simple knot and encourage the baby to untie the rope. Give the baby a glass of water and let him try to pour half into another cup. Play your baby's favorite tape or cartoon, turn it off halfway and encourage him to open it himself.
How to correctly understand the development and potential stimulation of children's left and right brains? 3 The brain controls our behavior and language and is the most critical part of our body. Our brain is divided into left and right brain parts, and the two parts will cooperate with each other and react in a unified way.
But according to neuroscientists' research, our left and right hemispheres are also out of proportion, so the functions of the two hemispheres are different.
Unilateral brain
1, different functions of the left and right hemispheres
Most of us are used to the right hand, because we are left-handed and right-handed, so many parents will ask their children to practice their left hand and exercise their left brain at the same time.
The left brain is generally responsible for children's language, reading and writing skills; The right brain controls our sense of space and emotional changes.
2. The older you get, the more obvious your brain becomes one-sided.
In fact, since the baby was born, it has already shown a tendency of being partial to the brain, but its age is limited, so the effect is not obvious. It is only with the child's gradual growth that the unilateral trend of the brain appears, such as the child's dominant hand.
In addition, some data show that the ability of young and middle-aged people to use their left and right brains is obviously weaker than that of early childhood.
3. Gender impact
Before the brain matures, there are differences between the two hemispheres of boys and girls.
For example, when listening to music, girls use their left brains, boys use their right brains, and there are more left-handed women than men.
Balanced development of left and right brain
Any family, children are their favorite, and parents want their children to win at the starting line in the future. In addition to early prenatal education, developing children's left and right brains at the same time is also their greatest concern. For example, parents ask their children to write with their left hand.
But the left and right brains are equally important, and the most important thing is balanced development.
1, comprehensive education
Because the functions of the left and right brains are different, such as the left brain controlling the right hand and being responsible for rational thinking; The right brain controls the left hand and is responsible for perceptual thinking. What parents need to do is coordination and integration.
2. Treat partiality rationally.
In addition, many children have problems with partial subjects. Some children are good at liberal arts, while others are good at science. In this case, parents should not be too impatient.
Moreover, according to the development of the left and right brains of children of different sexes, the left brain of girls develops better, so liberal arts is better; On the contrary, boys have better right brain and stronger logical thinking ability.
3. Right brain development
Because the left hand is connected with the right brain, exercising the left hand is also a concern of many parents, but the essence of human brain development should be the right brain.
The right brain can improve our thinking ability and creativity, and the development of the right brain is equivalent to exploring our own potential and innovative thinking. For example, the word "right brain revolution" that many people have heard is enough to see the importance of right brain development.
How to develop the right brain
1, observation cloud
Yes, observing clouds can really develop the right brain.
When we were young, we often looked up at the clouds in the sky, and then imagined the shape of the clouds as all kinds of food or toys and other things we liked. It is this process of imagination that virtually exercises the thinking and creativity of our right brain.
Step 2 tell stories
Stories are not just about putting children to sleep. It is best for children to form an imaginary picture in their minds while listening to stories. Parents had better stop telling stories and let their children imagine the rest.
3. "Lianliankan"
Everyone has played the game of Lianliankan, that is, matching modules with the same pattern. If the child is too young, parents can also make a simple version of Lianliankan. For example, you can draw several cards with the same pattern and color, so that children can exercise their right brain in the process of matching.
4. Use your left hand and left ear.
If children find it too difficult to write and eat with their left hand, they can also try to take things and drink water with their left hand. Besides the left hand, the left ear can also play a role. It is also good for children to use their left ear more when listening to music.
5. Try some fresh games.
Children's development needs diversification. It is best not to let children go the same way, watch an cartoon and play the same game over and over again, but to encourage children to try new things.
The child's brain development is a major event. The more coordinated the left and right brain development, the smarter the child will be. In addition to blindly reporting training courses, parents should also take their children to do more mental exercise.
