Mozart played the piano at the age of 3 and composed music at the age of 4; Madame Curie began to study at the age of 4; Yo-Yo Ma started playing cello concerts at the age of five and collaborated with the famous Bernstein master at the age of eight. Franklin started reading so early that he can't remember the years when he didn't study. Many geniuses are like this,

However, Einstein's intellectual development as a child seems to be not as good as that of ordinary children. Few Nobel Prize winners are as precocious as Madame Curie. Genius seems to be a late bloomer

These stories of genius fascinate thousands of ordinary parents. When they heard the child's first cry, they were thinking: Is my child a genius? Does the real genius win the first place or lag behind? Of course, for more parents, the problem is more practical: genius, as the name suggests, is given by heaven. One child out of a thousand people becomes a prodigy. We can't choose our children's talents, but we can choose how to train them. Can early intellectual development improve children's intelligence?

In this regard, the west has conducted a lot of research in recent decades, and the conclusions are very contradictory. It should be said that children's intellectual development and development is still a mystery. No matter what kind of statement, no matter how much scientific basis there is, it has a strong subjective tendency. We must analyze these conclusions in the larger tradition. Generally speaking, there are always two schools for children's intellectual development. One is that children's intelligence needs to be developed and genius needs special support; Second, it is said that the growth of genius is best left to its own devices, especially? Development? It is useless and may even be helpful, which hinders the development of children's intelligence. What adults should do is to provide good social conditions for children's psychological development and let them give full play to their potential. Now, the latter seems to have the upper hand.

IQ is mainly determined by genes. But education may have little effect on IQ. The more time parents spend playing creatively with their children, reading to them and having interesting and thoughtful conversations with them, the healthier their children's intellectual development will be. On the contrary, if parents sacrifice such family happiness, hand over their children to unfamiliar early childhood experts, let them occupy their children's childhood with too many courses, or fill their children with a large number of new word cards, their children's intellectual development may slow down. This is the most common mistake made by China's parents.
