With the desire to make children smarter, mothers consult all kinds of ways, from nutrition to teaching methods in the world. However, for children to confidently step up, IQ is not everything, mom
IQ (Intelligence Quotient) is an index used to measure the cognitive ability and ability of each person to encounter different problems. IQ tests often focus on language, logic, math, visual memory speed and information processing. However, IQ does not reflect emotional ability, curiosity, creativity or ability to handle work. A high IQ can be a solid premise for a better baby's future development. However, not every higher IQ, the more guaranteed the future, mom!
Intelligence is important, but not everything, mom!
1 / Intelligence does not guarantee future success
According to the research results of expert Lewis Terman, conducted on 1,500 students with an IQ of 140 or more since 1926, intelligence is not a prerequisite factor affecting the future. Even though, intelligence and achievements are completely unrelated. Many smart people become successful and prominent with a "huge" income, but many people with high IQ have a "modest" life like typists, sailors ...
2 / Smart is not necessarily happier
Lewis Terman's study also showed that the rate of alcoholism, divorce or suicide among people with high IQ was about the same as for normal people. As such, it is not necessarily that smart people can guarantee their happiness more enduring than ordinary people.
On the contrary, the excessive expectation of parents and relatives around becomes an invisible burden, making children not able to live according to their own wishes, to always live up to everyone's expectations. This will become chains, making it difficult for the baby to feel happy.
3 / Smart children also have defects
"Ego bias" is the instinct of most people. That is, instead of dismissing all of the initial prejudices to consider the problem, people often tend to selectively reinforce their thinking. Research of experts from the University of Toronto (Canada) shows that, compared to ordinary people, intelligent people are not able to improve this defect. Even their "self-biased" instinct is even higher, making it difficult for them to see their own shortcomings but just "stare" at other's weaknesses.
According to Professor Kim Ung-yong, a lecturer working at Shinhan University, Gyeonggi Province (Korea), who has the highest IQ in the world (210), the best thing parents can do for their children. what is to support and guide your child step by step to reach his or her goal. Each child has a certain gift. Children may not calculate well, but they are able to move, climb super "peak". So, instead of trying to "force" children to be smart, mothers should spend a lot of time playing, teaching their children social skills and how to take care of the people around them.
Increasing intelligence for the baby through the mother's love According to psychological and neurological experts, the mother 's attention, love and care in the first stage of life is very important. It not only affects the child's brain development, but also affects the child's ability to remember, learn and form personality after adulthood.
