The relationship between physical development and intellectual development

The relationship between physical development and intellectual development

The relationship between physical development and intellectual development, adolescence is the golden age of physical development and intellectual development in life. During this period, not only the nervous system is more developed, but also the functions of other organs of the body are obviously enhanced. So what is the relationship between physical development and intellectual development?

The relationship between physical development and intellectual development 1 The development of infants and young children is a whole, and the development and growth of various factors influence each other and complement each other.

Elements of intelligence

Let me talk about this "intelligence" first. I don't know what factors/abilities parents usually associate with the concept of "intelligence". There is a lot of research on "intelligence", so I won't go into details. American scholars have different views on what constitutes "intelligence", not to mention many domestic experts.

From the perspective of baby development, I have drawn several "intelligence" factors, which will probably be mentioned later. Abstract thinking (abstract thinking) (for children, concrete thinking to abstract thinking), self-awareness (self-awareness), communication (reasoning), emotional cognition (having emotional knowledge), learning ability (learning), memory (retention) and problem-solving ability (problem-solving).

So my point is that we can't separate the development of these "intelligence" factors from the development of the body. How does the "intelligence" factor develop itself and how does the body develop itself? The development of the body and these elements complement each other. Paying attention to children's physical development actually promotes children's "intelligence" development (I quote "intelligence" because this concept has not been fully defined).

Sports perception promotes children's cognition.

0- 18 months old children learn Piaget's first cognitive stage with senses and movements, which consists of two words: sensory perception and motor movements.

At this stage, children's physical development, such as visual development, tactile development, hand-eye coordination and so on. It also promotes children's cognition of external things (cognition is a factor of "intelligence").

At this stage, we should certainly spare no effort to encourage them to use their various senses. I once wrote a magazine article to start the baby's sensory balance.

We encourage children to touch objects of different materials. On the one hand, it promotes children's tactile development; On the other hand, it promotes children's cognition of objects.

In 0- 18 months (even in the next few years), can we completely separate "paying attention to physical development" from "paying attention to intellectual development"? I don't think so. The body feels movement, development and growth through various senses; At the same time, it has gained direct experience of external things and promoted the development of children's cognition, that is, the development of "intelligence".

The Promoting Effect of Crawling on Cognitive, Emotional and Social Development

From 6- 12 months, the baby's development in all aspects began to be agitated, accompanied by attention (common attention), social reference (social reference) and understanding of the relationship between means and ends. These factors are very important for learning, understanding other people's intentions, reasoning and communication (if you don't forget,

My subtitle is the promotion of crawling to the development of these factors, because this article mainly wants to contact the relationship between physical development/exercise and "intelligence". Let me briefly say that if we promote the development of babies' bodies, such as encouraging them to crawl, it will not only be beneficial to their bodies, but also to the development of "intelligence" in the long run. The two promote each other, rather than doing their respective jobs (someone wrote a doctoral thesis about the influence of this crawling on the development of various factors in the second half of life, which is a big topic).

Crawling changed the relationship. Most babies begin to learn to crawl when they are seven or eight months old. This is a milestone in the process of human development. First of all, after the baby can climb, the relationship between the baby and the external environment changes from negative to positive. They can move freely and constantly know the distance and relationship between themselves and objects, as well as the distance and relationship between objects. They learn to coordinate their movements and distances, and know how to achieve their goals through coordination. Therefore, the development of baby crawling is not only the development of the action itself, but also has a profound impact on cognition. The concept of "means-goal" was formed at this stage. And importantly, they can climb by themselves, get the toys they want and go where they want to go. The maintenance and distance between them and their mother is no longer decided by the mother alone. They can also control the distance between them, so that they realize that I am independent, separated from my mother and the surrounding objects. These understandings gradually formed their sense of autonomy. Reflected in the protest, that is, the mother feels that the baby is becoming more and more willful, and she must do whatever she wants, and do whatever she wants; Once it is stopped, it will stop crying.

Secondly, crawling development has also played a profound role in emotional development. First of all, the baby's feelings are divided, and the number and intensity of experiencing positive emotions are increasing. Babies can climb over and get things that were previously visible but out of reach. Through this kind of behavior, they can often feel their inner joy and pride. At the same time, mothers often praise them: alas, the baby is really capable! These compliments reinforced their happy experience. On the other hand, the frequency and degree of negative emotions experienced by infants are also increasing. If they can't achieve their goals through hard work, they will feel depressed. At the same time, for the sake of children's safety, mothers sometimes stop some behaviors, which makes capable babies very angry. This sense of frustration is stronger than their sense of loss when they can't reach their goals. They will transfer their anger to their mother, because they have caused this unpleasant consequence. At the same time, the mother's own negative emotions towards the baby have also increased (which also reflects the changes in the relationship between mother and baby). Mothers reflect that they should be responsible for their actions after they think that their children will climb. If they repeatedly prevent the baby from approaching dangerous things, and the child doesn't listen, they will get angry and express this emotion to the baby. Babies see their mother's angry expression and angry tone, and experience anger and angry expression more deeply. As a result, usually in this period, babies express negative emotions more strongly and experience more times than before.

Third, cognitive development and emotional development are intertwined. Because babies understand the relationship between "means and goal", they learn to evaluate the importance of this goal and the possibility of getting it through many exercises. When they get toys or other things they want, they experience happiness; The depth of happiness depends on their evaluation of the importance and availability of goals. When they can't get what they want, they will experience depression and frustration; Similarly, the degree of frustration still depends on their assessment of the importance and availability of the goal. Therefore, their cognitive development and emotional development are intertwined. Crawling makes them more mobile, and there are great changes in cognition, emotional cognition, emotional expression and communication with their mothers.

So when we promote their physical development, crawling and walking not only make them exercise, but also unconsciously promote their various "intellectual" development.

The relationship between physical development and intellectual development 2 Parents should pay attention to these signals of baby's physical development.

After having children, the mother always has an endless heart. Why does the baby have no teeth? Why can't the baby walk? Wait, I believe that mothers have paid attention to these problems.

But in fact, most of these problems are just the imbalance of baby's development level and speed, so mothers don't have to worry too much. In fact, the performance of stunting that should really be paid attention to is often ignored because of parents' ignorance.

In fact, if there is something wrong with the baby's body, the baby's body will send a signal to the mother, but whether the parents have noticed the signal sent by the baby. We should know that most of the problems of stunting occur in babies under 1 year old, and the symptoms are also the most easily overlooked by parents. If your baby has the following conditions, it may mean stunting. At this time, you must take your baby to see a doctor immediately.

The following periods of development are for parents' reference:

I. Each stage: 1-3 months

1, no response to loud noise

2, 2~3 months old, eyes still can't keep up with moving objects.

I still can't catch anything for three or three months.

After four or three months, my head still can't stand up.

After 5, 3~4 months, there is still no sound of "e-e-e-e".

Second, every two stages are 4-7 months.

At 1 and 4 months, when his feet landed on a hard surface, he couldn't kick.

2, 4~5 months still have ankylosing neck reflex (fencing posture)

3. Looks very stiff and nervous.

4. Looks lazy, like a doll.

When sitting up by pulling his body, his head will still fall backwards.

6, long-term tears, eyes secrete liquid or are sensitive to light.

After seven or four months, I still won't turn my head to find the sound source.

At 8, 5~7 months, he still can't turn over at all (whether from prone to supine or from supine to prone).

You can't sit up with the help of adults when you are 9 or 6 months old.

10 years and 7 months, I still can't track objects at a distance of 30~ 180 cm with my eyes.

3. Every three stages is 8- 12 months.

1 and 8 months still no babbling.

When I was 8 months old, I was still not interested in the game of hide and seek.

3, can't climb

4. Drag one side of the body when crawling (1 month or more)

You can't stand by and watch.

6. I haven't said anything simple (such as "mom" and "dad")

7. Don't use body language, such as waving or nodding.

8. Don't use your fingers, objects or pictures.

Therefore, it is necessary to take the baby for a physical examination at each period on a regular basis, because in the process of children's growth, development is slow, continuous and silent. In this process, mothers need to always be vigilant, carefully observe the baby's every move, and find problems and treat them as soon as possible!

Several stages of baby's growth.

1. Base period

The baby is four to six years old, which is a very important period for children's development. At this stage, babies start to be picky eaters. If they don't eat well, they will ask their parents for some snacks. At this time, parents must not get used to Fu Bao and often eat snacks, so that calcium and zinc will be insufficient, which will not help their height and health. Although there is no obvious growth at this stage, it is like the foundation of Gai Lou. If it is not built, it will have an impact on future growth.

2. Growth period

At this stage, the baby is seven to sixteen years old. If you lay a good foundation, the baby's height will increase wildly at this time. Moreover, if the child develops well, he may have just bought long pants last month, but this month he has become nine pants. At this time, parents should pay attention to supplement various vitamins and calcium according to the baby's height to meet the nutrition needed for the baby's growth.

3. Sprint period

16-25 years old is the stage of children's adulthood. At this time, the child's cartilage did not really grow out. If nutrition keeps up, it may grow 2-3 cm, but not everyone will grow. The growth of this stage has a lot to do with the powerful genes in the family and the nutritional foundation laid in the first stage.

The relationship between physical development and intellectual development. An important stage of intellectual development

One of the stages of baby's intellectual development: 0-2 months.

At the stage of 0-2 months, the baby has responded to external stimuli such as taste, hearing, touch, vision, etc., and can look up on his stomach, and his eyes move with the movement of objects, which is easy to be attracted by brightly colored objects. Therefore, parents may wish to put a soft ball or plush toy on one side of the baby's crib and push the toy into the baby's hand. When he pushes them away with his hands, he will push them to his feet and let him pedal with his feet.

The second stage of baby's intellectual development: 3-7 months.

At the stage of 3-7 months, the baby is in the perceptual exploration period of visual guidance, and can actively explore the surrounding things. At this time, the mother might as well play hide-and-seek games with the baby to train the baby's analytical judgment ability, thus improving the baby's logical thinking ability.

The third stage of baby's intellectual development: 8- 13 months.

At the stage of 8- 13 months, the baby's perceptual ability began to become sensitive, so he began to like imitation. At this time, parents can play a game called clapping with him and teach him to imitate, thus training the baby's ability to understand language and imitate.

The fourth stage of baby's intellectual development: 14- 18 months.

14- 18 months old babies begin to think abstractly, because 1- 1.5 babies can use vision, hearing, touch, smell and taste more accurately, so they can interact under the guidance of their parents. At this time, the most suitable game is the music hula hoop, that is, parents and babies hold hands and form a circle.

The fifth stage of baby's intellectual development: 2 1 month later.

After 2 1 month, the baby can master the symbolic relationship by himself, such as language understanding and language logic. At this time, parents can tell their baby some simple picture stories, and then let the baby repeat them to parents. In the meantime, parents can repeat some key language and action descriptions with pictures. If the baby doesn't agree with the book, don't rush to correct it. Doing so can not only help the baby develop intelligence, but also cooperate with the baby's development stage.

Methods of developing intelligence

love

Babies desperately need love, especially in the first few weeks and months. Babies don't want to manipulate or control you; Physically, she just needs your love. Responding to his crying won't spoil the child.

If you always take action against your baby's crying, the baby will trust you and feel strong self-esteem. She knows that her needs will be met, and she will not feel nervous. At the same time, she has learned to love and establish interpersonal relationships. If you don't get attention in the first few weeks or months, your baby may grow up introverted and withdrawn.

Always respond to the baby's crying, and calm her down through touching and voice, instead of letting her continue to cry.

chat

It's useless to talk to your baby quickly and vaguely, but a gentle and loving voice is the most appropriate. Mom's words are her favorite voice … she has been listening since she was 5 months old.

Use as many words as possible in your best language. Never neglect your baby's learning ability. Babies will be more willing to communicate with you if they make exaggerated expressions.

stroke

Touch is a powerful stimulating and learning tool. It also has a good effect on calming the baby. It is reported that compared with premature infants who did not receive massage, premature infants who received massage grew faster, had less anxiety and were discharged earlier.

Hold her tight when nursing and hug her often. After giving the baby a bath, gently massage the whole body and sing and talk to her when you are around. You will enjoy your time alone with her.

copy

Babies are interested in seeing your face. She has been analyzing your face since she was born. She may imitate smiles, frowns and other expressions.

Encourage your baby to imitate you. Hold the baby at a distance of about 8 inches and make faces, such as sticking out your tongue. To your surprise, this newborn child can still stick out his tongue!

experience

The more colorful the experience you bring to your baby, the greater the stimulation to her brain. Let the baby experience many different environments.

Go out for a walk and take her to different places, such as supermarkets, sports fields and commercial streets. Expose her to different things and sounds. Put the baby in front of the TV for a few hours; It won't stimulate her. What she needs is real experience, not virtual!

survey

Provide a safe exploration environment for your baby, such as the living room floor. She needs a lot of space to discover and explore by herself.

Keep dangerous goods out of children's reach, cover all sockets and pad all sharp corners on furniture. Provide safe and suitable toys.

read

I started reading to my baby when she was very young. She may not understand the story, but she is willing to listen to your voice and look at your pictures.

Use an interactive book with concave-convex pictures or tactile stimulation to explain different textures to the baby, so that she can touch and feel different feelings.

music

Even singing and playing music to babies before they are born is beneficial to their brain development. Generally speaking, music with continuous rhythm is the best. It is found that Mozart's music can stimulate neurons that will use mathematics in the future.

Singing children's songs and listening to music are all good ways to have fun with your baby. Use a music box or recorded music to create a peaceful mood when eating, and use cheerful music when playing.

play

Play is fun, play is work-babies learn while enjoying! When you play with your baby, you are also helping her develop, and the role is more than you realize.

Use contrasting pictures to help your baby improve his concentration and attention range. The baby explained the color of the picture to her while studying.

Methods of developing children's intelligence correctly

1, give children time to play casually, and don't arrange life too regularly.

Thomas Armstrong, an American scholar of children's education, pointed out that free play is more beneficial to the health of preschool children than planned activities. Parents should avoid filling their children's time with various activities. All children need some free and casual play time.

2. Teach him to care about others.

Happy children need to feel that they have some meaningful connections with others and understand what he means to others. To cultivate this feeling, you can help your child to get in touch with others more. You can sort out some old toys with your child and donate them to charity with him to help homeless children. Children can also be encouraged to participate in some volunteer activities at school. Experts point out that even at a very young age, you can get happiness from helping others. And form the habit of helping others.

3. Encourage him to do more exercise.

Playing ball games, cycling, swimming with your child ... Doing more exercise can not only exercise your child's physical fitness, but also make him more cheerful. Maintaining a vibrant life can moderately relieve children's stress and emotions, make children like themselves, have a more positive body image, and find fun and a sense of accomplishment from sports.

4. laugh often

Telling jokes, making up some funny songs and laughing with children are good for you and your children. Just laughing is good exercise.

5. Creative compliments

When children behave well, don't just say "good." Be specific, tell the details, and point out the places that are impressive or better than last time. For example, "It's really polite of you to take the initiative to say good morning to the doorman's uncle today."

However, we should also pay attention to praise and not develop children's false expectations. Some parents will reward their children with gifts or money, so that their children can focus on what rewards they can get, rather than doing well. Parents should let their children discover the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment brought by completing a thing, instead of rewarding him with material rewards.

6. Ensure that children eat healthily.

A healthy diet can not only make children healthy, but also make their emotions more stable. Whether it's dinner or snacks, we should try to follow healthy principles, such as low-fat, low-sugar, fresh and balanced diet.

7. Stimulate his inner artistic talent

Although scientists have confirmed that there is no so-called "Mozart effect", exposing children to music, art, dance and other activities can still enrich their inner world. Experts have found that when children dance to music or hold a crow with a brush, it is actually a way for children to express their inner world and feelings. Children like painting, dancing or playing music, and they will feel more satisfied with themselves.

8. Hug often

A gentle hug conveys infinite care and is a silent "I love you". Studies have found that gentle touching and hugging can make premature babies healthier, more active and more emotionally stable. For adults, hugs can also relieve stress and calm restless emotions.

9. Listen attentively

Nothing can make children feel cared for more than listening attentively. Want to be a better listener? Don't listen with only one ear. When the child is talking to you, try to stop what you are doing and listen to him attentively. Listen to the child patiently. Don't interrupt, hurry to help him express himself or let him finish his words quickly, even if you have heard what he said many times. It is the best time to listen when you accompany your child to school or put him to bed.
