4 things parents must know about baby’s brain development

The period from 0 to 6 years old is a critical period for the baby's brain development and an important stage of intellectual development in the baby's life. If new parents do these 4 things at this time, their children's brains will become smarter.

1. Communicate and talk more with your children

The communication between parents directly affects the child's brain. According to scientific research, 4-year-old children of the same age from families with poor communication may have heard at least 10 million fewer words than those from families with good communication. It is this seemingly exaggerated gap that affects the development of children's mathematical ability, spatial reasoning ability, perseverance, self-discipline, sense of morality and empathy. In the process of communicating with children, not only will you use your mouth to make sounds, but also your eyes, body movements, expressions, etc., which can give children multi-dimensional sensory stimulation. The more developed the nervous system, the smarter the child.

2. Take your children out to play more often

Taking your children out to play more often and letting them see more of the outside world can allow them to experience more sensory stimulation, see people of different ages, and see different scenery. The more stimulation they receive, the more developed their brains will be, and their intelligence and emotional management abilities will be stronger.

3. Reduce the amount of electronic products your children watch

Speaking of this, especially for babies under 2 years old, watching too much electronic products, or even eating while watching TV, will not only affect the eyesight, but also the digestive function of the child. Different pictures produce different sounds, which may affect the baby's concentration and ability to learn in the future.

4. Reduce intimidation to children

Some parents think that if their children are disobedient, yelling at them loudly will do the trick. Perhaps 90% of parents don't know how harmful such intimidation is. Children will experience various negative emotions such as anxiety, sadness, inferiority, insecurity, and the desire to please others because of your behavior, which may have a certain impact on their lives.

In short, new parents should think about whether they often do the above 4 things. If so, they should correct them; if not, they should encourage themselves. Providing children with a good environment and sensory stimulation, and using their hands and brains more will be of great help to their growth and development.
