Last year, Tan Fanglin, who was only 15 years old, became angry. Because of a mathematical achievement named "Fibonacci sequence and estimation of Bayesian number", I participated in the Youth Forum of the World's Top Scientists as a "young scientist".
For a time, the topic of how to cultivate child prodigies has once again become a hot topic for parents to discuss. In recent years, incidents about prodigies have emerged one after another, and some businesses have also smelled business opportunities. Now, there are always various books, supplements and instruments on the market to develop intelligence. In short, all kinds of magical operations are dazzling.
Every parent wants their children to be talented and smart, but in fact, most children have similar IQ. Different parents have different attitudes towards their children's IQ. In China, many parents judge their children's IQ based on their grades.
Good test scores mean high IQ, and poor test scores mean low IQ, which is a bit too arbitrary.
Therefore, a child's IQ can't be determined only by his grades. The authoritative approach is to conduct IQ tests when children are 3-6 years old.
But regardless of IQ, every child is an angel sent by God to his parents and deserves enough love.
William james, the father of American psychology, mentioned in his works: "Ordinary people only play 10% of their potential intelligence."
It is true that children's intellectual development can be stimulated to a certain extent through various external forces, but we must pay attention to science and rationality to avoid paying IQ tax.
Usually children with high IQ will have the following performance.
Everything in this world may become great because of concentration. Children with strong concentration have a greater chance of success in life.
Warren Buffett was once asked what is the most important word in a person's life. He did not hesitate to write down the word focus, which shows how powerful the focus is.
The greatest influence on concentration is not heredity, but acquired environment. A safe and undisturbed environment is a natural hotbed of children's concentration, but parents nowadays are too worried and always interrupt their children's behavior.
Moreover, today's children will play mobile phones and watch videos when they are very young, which actually hurts children's concentration.
Because video attracts children's attention with fast-moving images and bright colors, it arouses children's feelings of excitement and pleasure, but if children's brain nerves are excited for a long time, their attention will be greatly damaged.
Once the concentration is destroyed, it is not so easy to cultivate it, so parents should not let their children watch too many videos to save them from worrying.
If children want to have extraordinary concentration, they should be trained step by step through auditory training and visual training.
Man is a learned animal, and many of our acquired abilities are acquired through imitation. Children with high IQ usually have strong imitation ability. many
Imitation is the foundation of children's development of cognition and independence, so when we meet children who deliberately imitate adults in our lives, don't interrupt them and let them play by themselves, as long as the object of imitation is not a violation of the law within a safe range.
Other children talk to themselves when they are alone. Don't misunderstand the child's faults. It's just a manifestation of her small-headed thinking.
Experiments at the University of Bangor in the United Kingdom have found that talking to yourself indicates that the brain may have higher cognitive ability, more concentration and higher efficiency in completing things.
In order to find out the relationship between Chu's intelligence and genius, American psychologist Terman once found more than 1 000 children with high IQ, and followed them from 1 to middle-aged and elderly people. After a lot of IQ tests and research, it is proved that all children with superior intelligence have one thing in common, that is, strong creativity.
Creativity is not innate, but can be cultivated through the acquired environment.
Creativity is based on creative thinking. Children are born with a desire to create, and parents only need reasonable guidance.
On weekdays, take children to see the outside world, get in touch with nature and accumulate materials for imagination. Children see enough rich things, and it is easier to carry out creative reorganization in the process of application.
Don't interfere with children's problems too much, let children solve their own problems. In this process, children will spontaneously start divergent thinking, and the solution to the problem is creation.
If you want your children to win at the starting line, don't interrupt them when they have the above performance, but give them enough space to play freely.
In fact, the level of IQ does not determine the future of children. Many people with high IQ are also mediocre in life, and many people with ordinary IQ have made amazing achievements in their favorite fields through their own efforts.
Therefore, everyone's achievements in life often depend on personal choices and opportunities, not absolute IQ.
China people's understanding of IQ is limited to mathematics and memory, and other aspects of IQ are almost ignored.
Howard gardner founded the theory of multiple intelligences, which holds that human beings have nine core intelligences, including language, kinesthetic sense, music, spatial imagination, introspection, interpersonal relationship, natural history, mathematical logic and existential reflection.
The social success of human beings is the result of exerting advantages on the basis of understanding their own intelligence.
If your child doesn't perform well in exam-oriented education, don't give up easily, and try to find other potentials of your child. Not every child should be a science teacher and scholar.
Children with poor memory may be sensitive to interpersonal relationships, so they can engage in social work; Children with poor social skills may have strong mathematical logic skills and can engage in mathematics-related work.
Everyone must be born with great potential in some way, and children without any potential are very rare.
As parents, we don't need to raise our children into prodigies. What we should do is to try our best to help children find out which core intelligence is the most developed and give them enough space and confidence to create.
The ultimate goal of analyzing IQ is not to divide children into three or six grades, but to let parents teach students in accordance with their aptitude through the analysis of individuals, so that every child can get his own happy life.
