What Factors Affect Intellectual Development in Childhood?

High IQ children refer to children with IQ above 130. IQ = (intelligence age / real age) × 100. Usually people use IQ 100 as the standard line of normal children's IQ. Children with IQ 90-129 are normal children, IQ above 130 (some people think 140 or above) are extraordinary children, IQ 89 and below are children with low intelligence, IQ Below 70 is mental retardation. Affected by factors such as the intelligence of the intelligence test, the quality of the tester, the standardization of the test, and the age of the child, it is obviously not enough to accurately and comprehensively evaluate the child's level of intellectual development based on the results of an intelligence test.

High IQ Children

For young fathers and mothers, who doesn't want to have a smart baby? However, are you ready for a multitude of intelligence tests and various explanations? What exactly is intelligence, what is IQ, when should children be tested for intelligence, and how to look at the test results, does high IQ mean genius?

What is intelligence

</ strong> The psychology community has always been divided. Some people think that intelligence is human's abstract thinking ability, some people think that intelligence is ability to adapt to the new environment, and some people think that intelligence is the ability to understand concepts and the ability to use abstract symbols such as words and numbers. Intelligence should include at least the following aspects: thinking ability, cognitive ability, creative ability, ability to adapt to the environment and ability to express. Intelligence is the comprehensive and potential ability of the human brain to recognize objects. At the same time, it is also the ability that can be expressed in specific fields, specific problems, and specific objects, such as mathematical abilities and musical abilities.

Intelligence test

</ strong> So how do you know if a person's intelligence is high or low? A more common method is to perform an intelligence test to get a score that indicates his intelligence level, which is the intelligence quotient (IQ). IQ is the ratio of intellectual age to actual age. It is generally expressed by the formula: IQ = (intelligent age / real age) × 100. Usually people use IQ 100 as the standard line of normal children's IQ. Children with IQ 90-129 are normal children, IQ above 130 (some people think 140 or above) are extraordinary children, IQ 89 and below are children with low intelligence. Below 70 is mental retardation.

Affected by such factors as the scientific nature of the intelligence test, the quality of the test personnel, the standardization of the test, the age and personality characteristics of the child, the results of an intelligence test alone are obviously insufficient to accurately and comprehensively assess the child's level of intellectual development. Therefore, we can use IQ as a reference indicator for the development of children's intelligence, but we should not blindly superstitious test results. It is not advisable to compare each other and to be arrogant or violent because of the level of IQ.

Although ordinary children are born with all kinds of differences, they are probably similar. When you are hungry, you cry, and when you are happy, you laugh; when you see something delicious, you reach for it, and when you see something fun, you reach out to play. Why are some people afraid of dogs and cats later, some dare to ride horses, some are strong, some are weak, some are determined, some are weak, some are rich in knowledge, and some are lacking in knowledge; some Some are dedicated to themselves, some are compassionate to others; some are sentimental, some are joyful; some have become good citizens, and some have become social scum? Why is this the endowment of innate endowment and the acquired environment and education? Good or bad. If you have received a good family education from an early age, although you were born to be afraid of dogs and cats, you dare to ride cows and horses when you are old; although you are not very strong, you are also healthy when you are old. If the family education is not good, children will not be afraid of animals, but they will be scared when they are healthy. As for the enrichment of knowledge, the development of ideas, and the formation of good habits, family education should take full responsibility. Of course, family education must be done according to the child's psychology. If the education of the child is unknown, the education will not be effective. Therefore, I will briefly describe the psychology of children as follows for reference of those who implement family education.

1. Good games for kids

</ strong> A child can be said to be born alive. Babies in the second and third months can beat and kick on the bed and play alone. In five or six months, when you see something, you will grab it, and when you catch it, you put it in your mouth. When he gets older, he will push here, pull there, keep moving, and when he can crawl and walk, his movements will become more complicated. Suddenly stand, suddenly sit; suddenly this way, suddenly that way; suddenly climb there, suddenly walk here. If our adults were to act like him for two hours, it would be exhausting. By the age of three or four, he had more game moves than before and his game methods were different from before. In the past, he could only push the chair back and forth. Now he is going to lift the chair up and down and become a sedan chair. In the past, he can only knock on the stick to make fun. Now he is going to hold the stick as a gun. By the time he was eight or nine years old, his body was much stronger than before, his spirit was very abundant, and his knowledge was gradually enriched, so his game moves were different from before. At this time, he likes to play various competitive games; he can play kites and kick shuttlecocks; he fights with shuttlecocks and shoots balls; he plays clubs and hide-and-seek.

In general, children are born to be active and playful. To know more exercise, more robust; more games, more happiness; more experience, more knowledge, more thinking. So parents have to pay attention to children's movements and games. First, parents should prepare well-equipped equipment so that children can get enough exercise. Second, parents should find suitable partners to give children a beautiful impact. With both, the child's body is easy to be strong, the mood is often happy, the knowledge is easy to be improved, and the mind is easy to be inspired.

Second, children are good at imitating

</ strong> Children can imitate simple sounds and actions before they are one year old. As soon as he heard the roar of a chicken, he would also cry and cry. When he saw someone washing his face and brushing his teeth, he would wash and brush. By the age of two, he could imitate complex movements. If he saw his mother sweeping the floor to wash laundry, he would sweep and wash and watch; if he saw his father spitting and smoking, he would also vomit and eat. By the age of three or four, his imitation ability had grown even greater. Whatever he wants to marry and uncle, he has to imitate. All in all, the child is easy to imitate, and the behavior of the family at home is mostly imitated. If the actions of the people in the family are elegant, his actions will probably be elegant. If the words of the family are crude, his speech will also be crude. Therefore, parents have to be cautious to make themselves worthy of example.

Children are curious

</ strong> Children are born to be active, and they are born to imitate. They are also born to be curious. When a baby of five or six months hears a sound, she turns her head to look for it, and when she sees something, she reaches for it. By the age of four or five, he was more curious. When he saw the car and carriage coming on the road, he always had to stop and take a look; when he heard the sound of gongs and drums outside, he always ran out to take a look. There was a four-year-old child who visited his child with his mother one day and saw that there were many bees in his child's house. He took a stick and knocked the hive, but unexpectedly he knocked the bee out to stab him. . Another five-year-old kid digs up the carrots planted in the garden every day to see how he grows. Another child dismantled a bell and smashed it to see why the bell rang. Not only do children have such actions, they also ask questions. He often asks you "what is this, what is it; where does it come from, how does it do it; why is it like this?" When he sees something he doesn't understand, he will come to ask you. These questions are also a curious expression.

Now we have to ask what is the usefulness of this curiosity? Plato said: "Curious, the gate of knowledge." This sentence is quite correct. If the child is not curious, then he will not come into contact with things; if he is not in contact with things, then he cannot understand the nature and condition of things. If he saw ice, wasn't curious, and didn't play with it, he wouldn't know that ice was cold. If he hears the sound of cars outside on the road and doesn't run out to see, then he probably won't know what a car is. So curiosity is the most important way for children to gain knowledge.

4. Children like success

</ strong> Although children like action, they like it more. For example, a two-year-old child playing sand in a sandbox. Although he fished the sand into the can one by one, he filled it and poured it out; and then he took it one by one, and poured it out again. Taking a closer look, it is an action to fish into the jar one by one, but when the can is full, the action is successful. Although children like the action of sand fishing, they also like the success of sand fishing.

One day, Yiming moved large and small pieces of wood to the patio. It took a lot of effort and time to build a small house. After he set it up, he happily ran over and said to me, "Dad, come and see a house I built." I saw this plausible house and was very happy. I praised him and told him to go again. take. After playing with wooden blocks, he ran to the study and drew an animal on the blackboard with chalk. After he drew it, he said to me, "The elephant. This is the tail, head, ears, eyes, mouth, nose." I looked back and it was good, even saying "OK, OK." From the above two examples, it seems that children like to do things very much, and they like their success, because things succeed, on the one hand, although they are interesting, but on the other hand, they can get the praise of parents or teachers. This kind of psychology is very good, we parents or teachers should use this psychology to encourage him to do all kinds of things.

But don't ask the child to do too hard things; if it's too difficult, you can't achieve anything. Without it, the child may be discouraged and refuse to do it next time. On the other hand, if it is not difficult to do, a child can be competent and successful; as soon as he is successful, he will be happy and confident; the more achievements he has, the greater his confidence; the greater his confidence, The easier it is to succeed. So confidence and success work together. Parents should pay special attention to this.

Five, children like wild life

</ strong> Most young children love life in the wild. I am glad when I go outside, and I am not very happy at home all day long. Although there are many reasons why children cry, they ca nt go outside to see and play, which is also a big reason. The reason why the parents didn't try to figure him out was to just say that he was going to scold him. That was really wrong. Yiming one day, sitting in the cradle and crying, his mother gave him something to eat, he didn't eat, gave him something to play, and he didn't play. Later, I hugged him outside to play, and he stopped crying as soon as he got outside. He looked up to see the color of the sky, lowered his head to see the shape of the vegetation, and looked at the shape of the birds and beasts. After a rest, he smiled. Another day, it was too late, and no one was on the street. He refused to go home. Not only did Yiming like to go outside, but ordinary children probably did. Now I have a kindergarten in my home. When the weather is hot, we take the naive students to play outside. They ran around in the wilderness. When they saw wild flowers, they plucked stones. When they saw the pond, they threw stones into the water for pleasure. Such outings have a good impact on children's body, knowledge, and behavior.

However, children's wild life must be judged by the age of the child. For younger children, we ask him to pick flowers, plant trees, and hold short-distance hiking meetings. Older children, we ask them to collect specimens, hold travels and other games to increase their knowledge, to strengthen their bodies, to cheer their spirit, and to benefit them virtually. But because there are many parents who do nt trust their children to go outside, one may be tired, the other may be dirty, and the third may be cold, so keep them in the house all day long. Like a prisoner. Therefore, when such children grow up, they are often weak and lacking in knowledge. Parents loved their children at that time, and today it is enough to see them harming their children. Being unwilling to be a teacher is troublesome, and it is troublesome to lead students to play in the wild, so students lose a good opportunity to contact the natural world. To learn, you should not only find it in books, but also in nature. What "zoology", "botany", "geography", and "common sense" can probably be learned from nature. When we look at dead specimens in books, the dead landscapes are better to go to the wild to see live animals, collect live plants, and play with real sand and stones.

In general, children, regardless of their age, men and women, mostly like to live in the wild. As parents or teachers, we ca nt pay much attention to this. How often we have to take our children to play in the wild. .

Six, children like group

</ strong> Everyone likes to live in groups, young babies, living alone, they will cry, and when they are two years old, they will play with their companions. By the age of five or six, this group of people s heart is strengthened. Assuming no partner is playing at this time, he must feel lonely. Sometimes imaginary partners also happen. He would play with this imaginary partner, live together, and eat together, so that he would not be alone. But his partner is imaginary, he must feel lonely. By the age of ten, the children would happily play in groups. If the child cannot find a partner at home at this time, he must seek out. I will now give an example to demonstrate the beginnings and importance of the music group.

(1) My child's psychology occurred in 47 days as soon as the song was heard. On this day, I caressed his chin, and he said "a-ke" to me. What is the meaning of this "a-ke"? Although I do nt know, what we mean by him is always a sign of happiness. It is also a reaction to my frustration. He also acknowledges the existence of others. symbol.

(2) At 3 months, Yiming likes others to talk with him. If you approach him, he will smile and learn.

(3) When the neighbor's child is five or six months old, someone must stand beside him. If someone leaves him, he will cry, and he will stop crying when he sees someone coming.

(4) My friend has a five-year-old daughter. Because of loneliness, he often has an imaginary partner to play with him. Later, after entering the kindergarten, the imaginary partner slowly disappeared. The good group of children is as above. Parents can take advantage of this good mentality to educate children. First, we need to make him a good kid; second, we should give him domestic animals such as cats, dogs, rabbits, etc. as his companion; third, we will give little dolls and the like to talk about him lonely.

Seven, children like to praise

</ strong> A two- or three-year-old child likes to "listen to good words" and likes others to praise him. For example, today, if he wears a new dress, he will show it to his father; if he wears a new pair of shoes, he will show it to his companions. By the age of four or five, this kind of commendation must be strong. If he is unwilling to brush his teeth, you can point to a child whose teeth are white and willing to brush his teeth: "How nice and clean his teeth are. If you brush your teeth every day, your teeth will look neat and beautiful like him ! "The child listened to you, I'm afraid to brush it. After brushing, you can praise him and say, "Yeah! Your teeth are a little whiter and look better." He must be very happy when he hears it, and he likes to brush his teeth next time he wash his face.

As soon as I drew a picture, if I did well, I would praise him, encourage him, and write "good" on the picture for him, and he would look very happy. So in the future, he often likes to draw pictures. After drawing, he often brought the drawing paper to me and called me this kind of praise. We should use it as a parent education, but it should not be used too much. However, it will lose its usefulness as soon as it is abused.

Summary: Generally speaking, children (1) are good at games. (B) Curious. (C) good group. (4) Good imitation. (5) Those who like wild life. (6) Like success. (7) Like others to praise him. These children's psychology is just the older

1. Start earlier than children of the same age

</ strong> Does your baby learn to smile at someone or sit up by himself earlier than others? When most 9-month-old babies are still crawling all over the floor, have your babies started to stand on the furniture and even tremble to move their fat calf? Did he start babbling or picking things up and stuff into his mouth earlier than others? Although some people "opened up" later as children, they later became well-known scientists or linguists. But it is undeniable that these early performances of children indicate that your child is special and unusual in some aspects, and possesses talent and potential in some aspects.

2. Sensible and sensitive

Children with particularly talented talents are usually more sensitive. For example, mom is not happy now, dad is angry, etc., he can feel sensitively and can comfort him. When the family climbed the stairs together, if it was the mother holding and walking, he would say to the father, "Daddy hugs the baby, and the mother is tired."

3. A sense of humor and pistachios

</ strong> Dad wore pair of sunglasses to play cool today, or mom hurriedly wore two different socks for the baby when he got up in the morning, it would make him laugh and dance, this shows that the child has a good sense of humor, You will notice things that are not in harmony with you and feel funny and funny.

4. Amazing memory and observation

</ strong> While many babies of the same age are still chaotic and do nt have any memory performance, are you surprised to find that your baby actually remembers some of the people and things he has seen? For example, the mother s dress and Usually it s different or changed a new hair style. Usually, the bearded dad looks chinny and smooth today. He was caught by him and he showed surprise or joy.

5. Strong curiosity and desire to explore

</ strong> Although all children have a strong curiosity, most babies' attention is easily distracted. As long as the adults interrupt, they will immediately throw in their mind what they just insisted on. Rear. But a child with a strong curiosity and desire to explore is not. When they wanted to figure out what was going on with that thing, he would give it all. For example, when he sees Mom and Dad playing computer, he insists on playing. It s useless for adults to coax him to play symbolically. Be sure to learn how to play with Mom and Dad holding the keyboard. He kept asking, "Is that so? Isn't it so?" Mom and Dad wanted to get back the computer, no way, the baby is not happy yet!

6. Rich creativity and imagination

</ strong> You may ask: Children of one or two years old are also creative and imaginative? Yes, although most children around the age of one do not have good problem-solving skills, a child with extraordinary talents often has some amazing performances that surprise parents.

1. Children born by distant blood marriage. According to data, the average IQ of children whose parents are locals is 102.45, the average IQ of parents who are from different places in the province is 106.17, and the IQ of children born to marriages in other provinces is as high as 109.35. It is suggested that intermarriage in different places can improve the IQ level of the next generation.

2. The children of parents in the best fertility period. A sampling result shows that the average IQ of children born to mothers before the age of 23 is 103, while those who have given birth between the ages of 24 and 28 are as high as 109, but the children born too late (after the age of 29) are less than 105. Therefore, experts recommend 24 to 29 years of age as the best childbearing period for women of childbearing age. As for men, it's better to be a dad around 30.

3. Children who grew up eating breast milk. A nutritionist at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom conducted an IQ test on 300 children aged 7 to 8 years, and compared it with the infant's recipe. It was found that children who grew up with breast milk generally had higher IQs than the average children of the same age who grew up with milk substitute 10 points higher.

4. Children of moderate weight. Experts compared obese children over 20% of their normal weight with normal children of the same age. It was found that their ability to see, hear, and accept knowledge was at a low level.

5. Children who insist on having a good breakfast. David, PhD in Psychology, Swansea University, USA? Benton emphasized the importance of breakfast. His survey data showed that students who took the difficult exam after breakfast scored significantly better than those who were fasting.

6. Active children. A study by Dr. Newsola at Bellucci College in the United States found that students who insist on running and aerobics for 20 minutes each time have significantly better academic performance than those who are lazy. He emphasized that exercise can keep the brain in the initial state of activity or relaxation, and the imagination will be freed from the constraints of various thinking, becoming more alert and creative.

Dr. Lagabian said that American scientists have tested 10,000 ordinary students in 803 elementary schools in New York to explore the relationship between diet and IQ. This natural behavior is a manifestation of "good babies" for many parents, but it is unwise for American experts, because it will miss the opportunity to improve IQ in vain. In the past, brain experts always thought that Intelligent Quotient (IQ) is inherent and cannot be improved at all. But this statement is outdated. Recent studies have shown that human IQ can be improved before the age of two. Even after two years of age, IQ can be enhanced through an inspiring environment and-eating. Of course, what I'm talking about here is healthy eating habits, not eating indiscriminately. AliRajabian, a brain surgeon from Canada, said that human IQ can be divided into two types: genetic IQ and crystallised IQ. Both types of IQ can be enhanced through a four-pronged approach. The four approaches are:

1. Change children's eating habits;

2. Create an inspiring and sensory environment for children;

3. Enhance your child's emotional intelligence quotient (Emotional Quotient);

Fourth, guide children to set a goal and inspire them to think creatively.

Dr. Lagabian said that American scientists have tested 10,000 ordinary students in 803 elementary schools in New York to explore the relationship between diet and IQ. They found that after the school ruled that canteens were not allowed to sell foods with added sugar, and that students were not allowed to bring lunches with added sugar to the school, students' academic and test scores improved significantly. Later, scientists banned this group of students from eating foods containing pigments and high fats (more than 30%). A few months later, the students' academic performance once again showed impressive performance. The survey report was also published in the authoritative "Lancet" medical journal at the time, which attracted many people's attention. Scientists in the United States, Britain and Israel have recently conducted similar experiments. This time, they found that children's IQ increased by 0 to 25 points within 6 months after changing their eating habits (do not eat foods that contain added sugars, pigments, and high fats). In other words, if the child had an IQ of 100 points (common IQ) before changing his eating habits, but then increased by 25 points, his IQ would rise to that of a gifted child.

"Good baby" missed the opportunity

</ strong> In addition to changing children's eating habits, providing an environment conducive to brain cell development can also improve their IQ. Dr. Lagabian said that the baby was sleeping all day after birth, and he drank milk after being full and continued to sleep after drinking. This natural behavior is a manifestation of "good babies" for many parents, but it is unwise for American experts, because it will miss the opportunity to improve IQ in vain.

He said that brain experts used to think that the more wrinkled a person's head is, the better he is than others. However, they recently changed the above statement, because they found that the genius scientist Einstein with a 130-point intelligence quotient had the same brain wrinkles as the average person with a 100-point intelligence quotient. The former's brain did not show more or deeper wrinkles. Medical personnel have discovered that the level of IQ actually depends on the number of bridges established between brain cells and brain cells. When a person's brain cells have a high amount of communication activity, that person's IQ will be higher than a person with no communication between brain cells and cells. Dr. Lagabian said, "The most critical moment for a baby is in the first two years after birth. Many parents always let their children sleep as much as possible during these two years, and even let them sleep 17-19 hours a day, and they are proud Everywhere I praise my children for being obedient and noisy. "This is simply wrong perception. Blindly letting a child sleep is like nurturing the child as a pot of flowers and plants, which is not very useful for the development of children's brain cells. Parents should make good use of time to play with their babies, talk to them, and let them learn to recognize various sounds. "Research shows that if parents often communicate with their children, children will be more able to use words to express themselves when they grow up, and of course they will be smarter."

Two music masters help

</ strong> Interestingly, Dr. Lagabian said that the governments of the states of Florida and California had begun legislation six months ago to require every newborn baby to receive a Mozart and Beethoven music laser record because research shows that listening The music of these two masters can improve children's IQ. In addition, they also have legislation requiring each nursery in both states to play Mozart and Beethoven's music for children to listen to, in order to further create an environment where children can improve their IQ. However, Dr. Lagabian pointed out that improving IQ is important, and parents should also pay attention to developing their children's emotional IQ and social IQ. Otherwise, even if the child is no longer smart, it is very sad if he cannot get along with other people.

Introduction: The main content of "High IQ Children's Story" includes: winning awards in Japan, holograms of Chinese characters, strange children, on the international podium, the smallest patent applicants, talented painters, children who have loved science since childhood, children who can't help but, At the age of five, he attended the "Wu Da University, Super" live computer, speeding away from the wall, world-class genius, and "prodigy" chess player.

Digest: Put your hopes on your children and resolve to educate them. After his lover became pregnant, he read many books on children's education and psychology. Liu Tingmei is a primary school teacher. His lover teaches in a middle school. Their training of Xiaobin started with prenatal education, mainly to increase the amount of maternal activity, read more books, and solve more problems. In this way, the development of the baby in the mother's body will naturally be better affected. Three months after Xiao Bin's birth, despite his doctor's objection, Mr. Liu still restricted his sleep time, kept his sensory organs constantly active, and kept receiving new information. Liu Tingmei hung a row of self-drawn color pictures on the cradle, opened the window, and let the wind blow the pictures, attracting Xiao Bin to watch. Pictures change frequently. In addition to the stimulation of color, he was constantly stimulated with different sounds and different tastes. During the summer vacation, Liu Tingguan took his half-year-old son to the potato field in front of the house. "This is potato, this is the leaf." He kept nibbling at him and burned the potato for Xiaobin to taste. For a long time, Mr. Liu "played the piano against cows" like this. This approach caused Xiaobin to have a conditioned reflex. When he saw it for 10 months, he blurted out and said "Yaro." This is naturally not because you haven't drunk the soul soup, but because of the effect of "playing the piano on cows".
