6 'strange habits' often found in children with high IQ

GĐXH - On the journey of raising children, parents often worry about their children's "different" behaviors compared to their peers. However, this can be a sign of a child with a high IQ.

Are you still worried about some of your child's "bad habits"? However, a study by Harvard University shows that children with high IQs often have these 6 bad habits, which is obvious.

1. Talk too much

Many parents feel annoyed by their children talking too much. They find it annoying when their children talk too much, but few people know that their children have a very good talent for language.

Language is the primary tool for human communication and social thinking. A child's language ability often reflects intelligence.

A child who loves to talk first of all has a rich vocabulary, secondly has quick reflexes and finally has a very strong ability to think logically.

Therefore, you will find that children can talk about many fields, and have good communication skills and very flexible thinking.

But at the same time, parents also need to develop their children's language skills to a certain extent and maximize their children's talents.

Although talkative children have demonstrated superior language skills, they must also be taught to assess situations and know when to speak and when not to speak so as not to bore or annoy others.

Of course, parents need to respect their children's wishes and let them talk happily. Create a good language environment for children so that they can talk more politely.

Finally, you can expand your child's knowledge and improve his logical ability by letting him read, talk to others, debate, etc. to make his speech more interesting and logical.

2. Absentminded

Many parents worry when they see their children often absent-minded, thinking that their children lack concentration or are wasting time.

But in fact, this state is a self-protection and regulation mechanism of the brain.

Just like a computer needs to be restarted after a long period of operation, a child's "freezing" moments are when the brain is "updating the system".

Research from the University of East Anglia (UK) shows that being absent-minded not only helps reduce stress but also stimulates creativity.

When children are in this state, they may be building their own imaginary world or thinking about interesting things.

These seemingly "absent-minded" behaviors are actually typical signs of highly intelligent children.

3. Stubborn and unwilling to listen to advice

Every child has his or her own personality. According to psychological personality traits, stubborn and disobedient children are mostly hot-tempered children.

These children are very independent and have clear goals. You cannot directly force them to develop in the direction you want.

Parents must first put themselves in the right position and cannot order their children from a superior position.

This will make your child more rebellious. Parents can communicate with their children as friends and respect their wishes.

4. Sensitive

Have you ever noticed that your child is very sensitive to his or her surroundings?

For example, just having a toy taken away makes them cry, or being scolded by their parents makes them easily emotional.

This sensitivity is not necessarily a negative thing, but on the contrary, it can be a sign of a refined intellect.

Many children with high IQs have very good observation skills and their emotions are also richer.

Like Newton as a child, he had an extraordinary sensitivity to the changes around him, and it was this that helped him discover the law of universal gravitation.

So if your child is a sensitive child, be patient and understanding, as this can be a valuable talent.

5. Too busy playing, parents call but don't care

Many parents get frustrated when they see their children engrossed in playing, and even remind them but they ignore them. But in reality, that is because the children are highly focused.

When children are playing or doing any activities such as reading, drawing,... parents should not disturb them.

Concentration is the solid foundation that drives people to achieve their future. Let children try, do not interrupt them when they are concentrating.

If parents find their children too engrossed in playing, they can limit the time while ensuring focus to reduce dependence on the game.

6. Like to retell what others say

Some children can always blurt out what someone has just said or what an advertisement they have just seen.

Parents may feel that their children are not innovative and why they always repeat what others say.

But thinking about it another way, the child's ability to repeat these words simply shows that he has an amazing memory.

And as children continue to repeat what others say, their memory gets better and better.

Parents do not need to prevent their children from doing this, but can guide them to express their thoughts and understanding of these words after retelling. This not only trains their memory but also improves their thinking ability.

As you can see, "bad habits" often come with certain talents. As a parent, you just need to guide your child a little so that he or she can develop his or her talents without going to extremes.
