There are 3 golden times for children to develop IQ, parents should not miss it

GĐXH - Professor Richard, a behavioral scientist at Harvard University, discovered that there are 3 "golden times" in a child's life for developing intelligence.

This also means that there is an important stage in the development of the child's brain. This stage lasts for a very short time and it would be a pity if parents missed this "golden time".

Based on his long-term research on adolescents, Harvard University Professor Richard has mapped the number and state of neural connections in the human brain during infancy.

Related studies have shown that: IQ depends mainly on the number of neural connections in the brain.

According to Professor Richard's research, the number of neural connections in a baby's brain will change from birth to 2 years old:

During the first two years of life, hundreds of neural connections are added to the brain almost every second.

Rapid brain development and awareness of the outside world will cause the child's brain to develop rapidly.

In addition, the brain also has different functions. In addition to the functional division of the cerebrum, cerebellum, left brain and right brain, cognitive differences between individuals are also very significant.

Professor Richard's research shows that neural connections for vision, hearing, language and higher cognition are largely developed by the age of 1 and stagnate after the age of 12.

So this study may also reflect to a large extent the question - why primates go through a relatively long childhood and have to have a full accumulation process.

3 important stages to develop IQ for children

By the age of 3, a child's brain weight has grown to 90% of an adult's brain weight. Illustration photo

0-3 years old: Language explosion

Good language skills help children absorb, process and apply knowledge faster, understand learning content better, thereby improving learning efficiency and comprehensively developing reading and writing skills.

We all know that animals with big heads often look very cute, such as kittens.

Similarly, 2-3 year old babies also have heads that are larger than their bodies, creating a cute feeling.

The reason for this is simple: By around age 3, a child's brain weight has grown to 90% of an adult's brain weight.

This weight gain is accompanied by stronger connections between synapses and thickening of the cerebral cortex, making neural circuits more complex.

Science proves:

The greater the number and ability of synapses to transmit information, the more outstanding the child's intelligence.

According to scientific research, at around 2 years old, the development of nerve synapses in a child's brain almost reaches the level of an adult.

Famous educator Maria Montessori believed that 2-3 years old is a crucial stage in language development.

During this stage, children become interested in language, imitate adults and gradually learn to talk.

Stanford University's famous experiment "The 30 Million Word Gap" also proves that: Parents who regularly talk, tell stories and encourage their children to express their thoughts will help children develop better language and improve their intelligence.

Real life example: Einstein was taught to read and write by his parents when he was only 2 years old. Perhaps it was by taking advantage of this golden opportunity that Einstein laid a solid foundation for his later achievements.

4-6 years old: Forming logical thinking

The age from 4 to 6 can also be considered the golden period to perfect children's intelligence. Illustration photo

If intellectual education before the age of 3 lays a good foundation for a child's IQ later on, then the important task of parents is to continue to maintain the intensity of the previous stage between the ages of 4 and 6 and improve the child's ability to concentrate.

This age can also be considered the golden period to perfect children's intelligence.

After completing the "paving the way", the important thing to do now is not only to improve cognitive and intellectual levels but also to help children improve their concentration when working and thinking.

People spend their whole lives studying. However, even if you have high intelligence and good academic performance, but are easily distracted by external things, you will not achieve good learning results.

7-12 years old: Explosion of creativity

At the age of 7-12, parents need to nurture their children's potential to develop their talents. Illustration photo

At this stage, overall brain development tends to stabilize, but the child's right brain develops the fastest.

The left brain is responsible for concrete thinking such as academics, logic, language, mathematics, reasoning, etc. and is called the "academic brain"; while the right brain is responsible for abstract thinking such as art, music, memory, emotions, painting, etc. and is called the "artistic brain".

At this stage, parents need to nurture their children's potential to develop their talents.

Pay attention to the aspects that interest your child and let him try out a variety of activities and knowledge to broaden his horizons and way of thinking.

Parents can also help their children discover and develop their talents and interests through guidance and encouragement.
