In this case, many families will give their children early education in various ways to promote their brain development while giving them delicious food and fun.
Reading contributes to the development of baby's early intelligence, which has unconsciously become the knowledge of treasure mothers, so reading picture books has naturally become their best choice for parenting.
Lingling is the mother of an 8-month-old baby. What she usually does is to pull the baby to read picture books together, because she heard that this will help the baby's early enlightenment and accelerate his intellectual development.
In order to let children "read more books" from childhood, she bought many books for infants through various channels, with dozens of kinds and contents, and insisted on reading them to children every day.
After a long time, Lingling found that the child's attention did improve, but it didn't seem to get smarter. She can't help wondering: Is "reading" an "important channel" to improve children's brain development?
It is undeniable that regular reading can indeed promote the development of the brain to a certain extent, but if children want to be smarter, I am afraid that reading alone can not achieve the goals expected by parents.
Scientists in the United States have been investigating for two and a half years. The conclusion proves that among children aged 0-4, after listening to 30 million words more than children from poor families, there is also a significant gap in IQ. The average IQ index of children with good family conditions is 1 17, and that of children with poor family conditions is 79.
Through interviews with dozens of children aged 4-6, they found that the best way to promote children's brain development is the most common "talking more" in life. The simple understanding is that chatting with parents is one of the key ways to exercise brain development.
To put it bluntly, chatting is an interaction between people. When talking to parents, the child's brain is running and thinking quickly. Therefore, a responsive and interactive language environment is very important for children's brain development.
It is the foundation of children's thinking and logical ability.
If a family is quiet, parents are not good at words, and members lack communication, children's language expression ability will be poor slowly, and their brain development will be relatively slow, which will affect the formation of thinking and logical ability.
It is the source of children's inner security.
Children who have been taciturn since childhood have no sense of security, while those who often chat with their parents and pour out their worries are not only lively, but also very dependent on their families and feel the environment is safe from the heart.
In this environment, children's inner dependence on their parents will be stronger, which can also promote their brain development. After all, they will have enough courage to explore.
It is the beginning of children's curiosity about the world.
Children are natural explorers, and they have a strong interest in the things around them.
A good family language environment will make children have great curiosity about the world, and more communication with parents can stimulate their enthusiasm for exploring the world.
Undoubtedly, reading is certainly helpful for children's growth, but it is not the only way.
Although reading more books can improve vocabulary, if children simply memorize without thinking, the impact on brain development will be very limited.
On the contrary, frequent chatting and interaction between family members can not only promote the development of children's IQ, but also greatly help the cultivation of emotional intelligence.
However, children's language expression ability is not innate, and they need parents' guidance to gradually accumulate and increase their cognition. Moreover, according to the different ages of children, we should adopt corresponding communication methods and treat them differently.
