Understanding the important stages in children’s intellectual development will help parents come up with appropriate, scientific educational methods.
There are no parents who do not want their children to be smart, achieve excellent academic results and have many prospects when they grow up. So how can we help children’s brains develop better and become smarter?
A child’s IQ is partly inherited by genes from their parents, this is something no one denies. But that doesn’t mean that if the parents’ IQ is average, the children will also stop at that level. If children are developed in a scientific educational environment with appropriate methods, they can absolutely possess an exceptionally high IQ. Therefore, parents need to pay attention to how to raise and discipline children.
Children from 0 to 3 years old are a particularly important period for brain development. According to research by Professor Richard at Harvard University, a child’s brain weight will grow to nearly the same as an adult’s by age 3. The number of surging nerves will determine the child’s IQ.
When children are 2 or 3 years old, the nerves in their brain will develop extremely quickly. (Illustration)
Therefore, when a child is born, parents need to immediately grasp this important period of brain development. During the period of children from 0 to 3 years old, parents pay attention to the following 3 aspects that will promote the child’s brain to outperform others.
1. Help children develop observation skills
Scientific research shows that children with excellent observation skills often have outstanding achievements. Children are often curious, have good awareness and desire to acquire knowledge through exploring things around them.
However, during the period of children from 0 to 3 years old, how to develop observation skills? Parents can train their children by: Giving them more toys, taking them outside to see trees, birds, insects… This helps stimulate the ability to perceive shapes and colors. This helps children have more sensitive observation skills.
2. Help children develop their imagination
Rich imagination is the foundation for children to come up with innovative ideas or breakthrough inventions. During the period of children from 0 to 3 years old, parents can help children develop their imagination by letting them listen to music, learn to dance, draw, play puzzles… These are all activities that help improve imagination. statue for children.
However, parents need to be careful not to force their children, let them play freely. For example, when drawing, children can doodle spontaneously. Parents should not bother, edit early, let children draw naturally. Because this does not harm children’s development but also helps children improve their imagination.

3. Help children develop concentration
The level of concentration has a great impact on children’s learning efficiency. Children with poor academic performance are not necessarily due to low IQ but also due to poor concentration. Children often do not pay attention to listening to teachers and do not concentrate on doing homework, so their learning efficiency is low and their scores are not high. As for children who have excellent achievements without spending much time studying, it is because they have high concentration. When the teacher lectures, children listen and think carefully, so they absorb knowledge faster.
So how do parents train their children’s ability to concentrate from 0 to 3 years old? First, parents need to avoid disturbing children by asking questions when they are doing something. This unintentionally affects the improvement of concentration. Parents should be bystanders rather than participants, this will benefit children.
For example, when children are doing puzzles, drawing pictures or even watching the ants move, parents should just stand aside and quietly observe. Don’t raise your voice or ask questions because it will distract the child.
Above are 3 things parents need to cultivate for their children from 0 to 3 years old so that children can develop intelligence superior to others and become talented leaders in the future.
