Many parents think that children's IQ is inherited from birth, but in fact, acquired development also accounts for a large proportion. Even if the child's IQ is naturally high and the development is not correct, it will still delay the child.
More than 20 years ago, Todd Risley and Betty Hart, two child psychologists from the University of Kansas, studied the interaction between adults and children in 42 families from different social and economic backgrounds. Follow-up survey began when these children were 9 months old and continued until they were 3 years old. The final result of the survey is that the IQ of children from low-income families is generally low.
Many parents think that our family conditions are average and we can't provide so many resources for our children like the rich. If you can't enroll in so many early education classes, will it delay your children? But don't forget that most of us are still ordinary families.
Why is a child's IQ related to family conditions?
The real reason is that children need us to start brain development from birth, and rich people will have relatively abundant time, because the family's financial resources are stable and there are more interactions and exchanges with children.
In ordinary families or families with poor conditions, parents are still busy with their lives and spend less time with their children. The poor will encounter more difficulties in their lives, and one day they may be tired when they get home, paying attention to their children's clothes and diet and ignoring the importance of communication.
Moreover, the rich have stronger economic ability and can buy more toys for their children, while high-quality games can stimulate their brain development.
More than 30 children aged 3-6 at MIT have made observation and research, and a "30 million words" experiment has confirmed this conclusion. The brain activities of these children during communication, listening to stories and playing games are scanned by professional instruments. It turns out that children's brains are more active when playing games and chatting. In other words, chatting and games can promote children's brain development more than reading.
1. Children's early language ability is very important.
In other words, children's early language skills develop faster than those of children from low-income families.
MIT, Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania conducted an experiment of data collection and testing, and published related papers in Psychological Science. When children communicate with their parents in early childhood, their brains will be very active, especially in broca.
Bross's area is mainly responsible for learning ability. Children's grammar, language and language reasoning ability are stronger. Children's understanding of the world originally comes from the communication between parents.
Baby, why are you crying? This set of picture books is specially designed for children aged 2-4, which conforms to the law of children's psychological development, with bright colors and clear and lovely style, and can attract children's attention well.
Stimulating brain development with bright colors not only enriches children's vocabulary, but also improves children's understanding ability, easily coping with children's self-awareness from the age of 2, making the "terrible two-year-old" no longer terrible, relieving children's anxiety about separation, and cultivating children's correct three views during the period of no sense of opposition and psychological sensitivity.
The virus goes away teaches children how to wear masks correctly and how to wash their hands correctly during the epidemic.
2. Use games to develop children's brains
Paula Spencer, a neuroscientist and expert on infant brain development, once put forward a similar view: games are essential to help the brain operate and learn.
The British magazine Nature reported that investigators from the University of California found that the bigger the gray matter in the brain, the higher the IQ.
I suggest you use Montessori games at home to develop your child's early brain. Montessori's "Montessori Kindergarten" is called the cradle of successful people.
Montessori advocates discovering children's talents, respecting the development law of children's body, mind and brain, laying the foundation for improving children's logical thinking ability and promoting the balanced development of children's left and right brains.
It is very suitable for children aged 0-6 to improve their mathematical ability, sensory ability, language ability, mathematical ability and life ability. Parents can easily develop their children's brains at home with only one set of books.
