How to develop children's intelligence?

Parents all hope that their children have high intelligence, so that their children will find it easier in the learning process and will be able to achieve higher achievements in the future. However, parents need to be reminded that there are many factors that affect children's intelligence. For example, genetic factors have a very large impact. In addition, acquired intellectual development is also very important. To develop children's intelligence, you must not blindly use effort, but pay attention to skills. The following methods are worth learning for parents.

How to develop children's intelligence?

1. Give children a full sense of security

The most important thing to give children a sufficient sense of security is to comfort them in time when they cry, so as to reduce their anxiety and uneasiness.

But some parents worry that if they coax or hug their children as soon as they cry, they will spoil their children. In fact, timely coaxing and holding the baby is the correct approach. Not coaxing or holding the baby will be harmful to the child. This has been scientifically confirmed.

The more secure a child is, the more focused he can be on developing his inner abilities in the subsequent growth process.

For example, a child can play with toys for a long time by himself, and occasionally look up and shout "Mom", and the mother will respond "Hey" from a distance, and then he will continue to play with peace of mind.

Children who lack a sense of security will worry about their mother leaving and will cry anxiously until their mother appears beside them.

Therefore, one thing that parents must understand is that when their children cry, they should give them active comfort, calm them down through sounds, hugs, etc., so that their children's sense of security will become stronger and stronger, rather than letting them cry.

2. Touch and hug your child often

Studies show that children who lack hugs as infants and young children tend to cry more, get sick more easily, and become irritable; however, babies who are often touched and hugged have much better psychological quality than children who lack these feelings.

When you hold your child, kiss his little face, touch his little hands, and pinch his little feet, these little actions make the child feel happy.

Every touch and hug is a positive stimulation for the child, and these stimulations can promote the development of the child's intelligence and are of great significance to the development of his brain.

3. Chat with your children often

Chatting with children frequently can stimulate their language nerves and stabilize their emotions, especially for children between 9 months and 3 years old.

Of course, chatting with children also requires skills:

When chatting, make sure to look into your child's eyes and listen to what he says;

In addition, children are very sensitive to body language, and any kind gesture will have a positive effect. Therefore, when chatting with children, you can also use gentle body movements, such as holding the child's hand, touching his head, hugging his shoulders, etc.

In addition, chatting is not the same as "nagging". A mother who really knows how to chat will chat about things that interest her children, giving them a lot of pleasant feelings and making them want to chat more.

Finally, the question-and-answer dialogue method can encourage children to speak more and make them fall in love with expressing themselves and thinking.

4. Encourage children to imitate

Imitation is a manifestation of a child's learning ability.

Children who love to imitate are smarter. Parents who are good at encouraging their children to imitate can make their children smarter.

Studies have shown that children will actively imitate their parents' actions and language starting at the age of one. From this time on, parents should consciously set a good example.

For example, when communicating with children, we should remain patient, speak slowly in front of the children, and change our mouth shapes more exaggeratedly and slowly so that the children can learn pronunciation faster.

If you want your child to learn a certain skill, such as washing hands, wiping hands, putting on and taking off shoes, brushing teeth, tidying up toys, etc., you must demonstrate it repeatedly in front of the child, give the child enough time to learn, and let the child master these new skills through imitation.

5. Actively take your children to experience

Before the age of 6, children mainly rely on experience to feel the world, and observe and learn in life and play. In other words, the more diverse the experiences we give our children, the more their brains will be stimulated.

To achieve this goal, you can do the following: take your children to different places more often, such as parks, supermarkets, playgrounds, libraries, museums, etc., so that your children can be exposed to different things.

Parents who have the conditions can arrange more family trips to give their children the opportunity to come into contact with different people and things from an early age, broaden their horizons, and enrich their cognition.

6. Read with your child

The famous educator Homlinsky once said that the way to make children smarter is not to give them extra lessons or increase the amount of homework, but to read, read, and read again.

But many children have no interest in reading, not because there are no books at home, but because their parents have no interest in reading. Therefore, if you want your children to develop a habit of reading, parents must first set an example themselves.

You have to understand that even if you are not reading classic masterpieces, but some seemingly "useless" reading materials such as newspapers and magazines, they can also play a very important role in cultivating children's reading habits.

7. Play with your children

Psychologist Gabriela Madriz once pointed out that exercise and play are the best ways for children to learn to observe, recognize, understand, speak and move, which can promote the intellectual development of children's brain. Among children aged 2 to 5, those who love to play are much smarter than those who do not. (Follow the WeChat subscription account: Duo Ma Parent-Child Time, and talk about parent-child parenting)

In addition, studies have shown that the human brain completes 60% of its development before the age of 3 and 90% before the age of 6. Therefore, 0-6 years old is the golden period for developing the baby's brain. Parents should cherish this golden time and play with their children more.
