Information for parents who want to raise a thinking child.

The intellectual abilities of a person depend not so much on natural data as on the environment in which they grow. Therefore, parents who want to raise thinking children should create the right conditions for them. Instead of praising the boy ("How smart you are"), it is important to focus on various intellectual education techniques.

Talk to the boy from the first days of life.

SourceSpeech is one of the most powerful engines of intellectual development. That's why experts advise talking with the baby literally from birth.

It is so easy, just express your actions, we launch a great thought process in the child's head.

As the child grows, we can expand his passive vocabulary, even in his previously unfamiliar speech. Even if the child does not understand its meaning immediately, he will gradually learn to recognize the meaning of the context.

Start reading books as soon as possible

SourceReading is one of the key skills that affects a child's progress in school, so he begins to read to him long before he begins to distinguish the letters by himself.

Reading stimulates the development of the brain and forms the basic ideas of man about the world.

To encourage the child to read as soon as possible, observe some simple rules:

Source

• Make sure that books are within reach of children;
• Make the reading and discussion of the books are perceived by the child, as one of the important family rituals;
• Implement the example (let the child see the astute parent regularly in the book). Without these conditions, it is unlikely that your baby will fall in love with books.

The praise

SourceWe often tell our children that they are the best always and in everything. First we praise and then the child encounters a situation in which his real abilities are revealed (for example, the grandmother said that she sings very well, and in the music school her capacity was evaluated very low).

Once he is in a situation of failure, such a child avoids the repetition of this by all means. Because he is afraid of not being the best. The logic is simple: I will not be mistaken in not losing my authority in the eyes of my relatives. Unfortunately, this scenario does not lead people to develop intellectual abilities, but teaches us to throw dust in their eyes.

It is much more sensible for parents not to praise their baby from morning to night, but to explain that mistakes and disappointments can not be avoided.

Praise the child for his hard work, not for his natural abilities.

This will help the child to strengthen himself and learn to face defeat with dignity.

It is known that children who are regularly told they are smart and talented are much quicker at difficult tasks than the types who, instead of assessing their intellectual abilities, get an evaluation of the activity: ¡You did a good job!.

Encourage physical activity

SourcePhysical exercise not only makes a child healthy and strong, but also helps maintain mental health. It becomes more resistant to stress.

Organize an intellectual training

SourceThe task (counting the trees on the road, finding letters and numbers on the road signs), is an excellent exercise for the development of mind control.

Foster curiosity

SourceThe research activity goes beyond preschools, but we must take advantage of this. Encourage curiosity, participate in discussions, try to develop the interests of the child. Is the child talking about the stars? Go to the planetarium with him, study the starry sky map of the books, and if the interest deepens, buy a telescope.

Here you will see, the support of the parents will inspire the child to greater achievements.

Teach your child to consider difficult tasks as opportunities for growth. Teach your child to enjoy learning. Show him that any study inevitably leads to development. Development is the result, it is the enjoyment of one's own abilities.
