How old is the golden age to develop children's intelligence?
Let's start with innate intelligence. According to the research of brain science in recent years, children's intelligence is far more influenced by congenital factors than by parental rearing patterns. Through the study of twins, scientists have concluded that 80% of children's intelligence is determined by genes. However, intelligence is only a small part of brain function, and it is not even the most important factor for children's growth.

According to the research of some scientists, the following factors are more important: self-control and willpower of the brain, rational and cautious mental model, balanced development of the whole brain, and accumulation of wisdom through learning. It is said that 3 years old is the golden age of children's intellectual development. I don't know where to start. According to the research of brain science, 2 years old is the peak of children's brain synapse development, and the brain undergoes rapid changes in the following years. 2-7 years old is the preoperative stage of Piaget's distinction. Cognitive development at this stage plays an important role in children's symbol and abstract cognition.

It stands to reason that preschool is the "golden period" of brain development. After the age of 2, the number of synapses in children's brains increases greatly, reaching a peak at the age of 7. After that, the brain will gradually "cut off" the redundant synapses and finally reach stability until puberty. Moreover, most intellectual development institutions or training schools do not have the ability of large-scale comparative research or long-term verification (institutions have only existed for a few years? How are their methods verified? )-and the growth of children is a long process.

They just take advantage of their parents' anxiety and use some quick and quick methods, such as "quick calculation", many of which rely on memory or compulsion. On the contrary, it consumes the child's motivation prematurely, and sometimes it is counterproductive. In early childhood, we perceive the world mainly through the body senses, and understand and know the world by establishing representations in our minds, thus building the image of the whole world in our own brains. Researchers suggest that during this period, children should be given enough opportunities to explore with their bodies and enough language communication to help them turn these specific social lives into internal common sense based on brain coding.

At the same time, due to the prefrontal control system of the child's brain, it will not reach its initial maturity and stability before the age of six or seven. Therefore, preschool children's self-control ability is weak and it is not easy to concentrate for a long time. At this time, if it is sent to the training class for strengthening, it will not only be inefficient, but also make children have a bad impression on the classroom and have a negative impact on future study.
