Early intellectual development and thinking ability of children

Early intellectual development and thinking ability of children

Parents are always very cautious about their children's early intellectual development and thinking ability, and actively solve the problems in their growth. The cultivated ability will affect their life, provide children with better study and life, and share their early intellectual development and thinking ability for everyone.

Children's early intellectual development and thinking ability Psychologists believe that human intelligence structure is generally composed of observation ability, memory ability, attention ability, imagination ability, thinking ability, language expression ability and hands-on operation ability, and thinking ability is the core of intellectual activities.

Thinking is only the generalization and indirect reflection of some objective things by the human brain. The so-called generalized reflection reflects the nature of a class of things and the regular relationship between things. It can be seen many times in daily life that sprinkling water on the ground irradiated by the sun will dry up in a short time, and the washed clothes will dry up after exposure to the sun. When water is boiled on the stove, it will not only boil and steam, but also dry up after a long time. On the basis of these experiences, we can roughly understand the changes of water after heating by thinking, that is, water will evaporate when heated to a certain temperature. The so-called indirect reflection is to reflect the objective things with other things as the medium and with the help of existing knowledge and experience. For example, although we didn't see raindrops or hear the sound of rain, we can infer that it rained last night when we got up in the morning and saw the roof and the ground was wet.

Thinking is a person's advanced cognitive activity. Through thinking, people can know things that can't be directly reflected by perception, see the essence through phenomena, grasp the regular relationship between things, understand other things with the help of one thing, and indirectly foresee and infer the development of things.

The occurrence and development of thinking marks a qualitative change in children's intellectual activities, mainly in the following aspects:

(1) improves and enhances children's intelligence structure.

Thinking is the advanced stage of cognitive process and the core part of human intelligence structure. The appearance of children's thinking not only shows that children have a complete cognitive process, but also shows that children's intellectual structure has a core part, which makes children's intellectual structure perfect and improved. From this perspective, the emergence of thinking makes children's intellectual development have real intellectual significance.

(2) Make the children's other intelligence factors change qualitatively.

Thinking is the core of cognitive activities. It participates in other intellectual interference and makes other intellectual factors more understandable, universal and profound. For example, children's observation activities, children because there is no thinking to participate in, observation is very superficial, can only see the surface features piled up, lack of understanding and generalization. Older children's observation involves thinking, so we can summarize the observed surface features, understand them and find out the internal relations.

(3) Promote the development of children's non-intelligence factors and social behaviors.

Thinking penetrates into children's emotional field, which further complicates children's emotions and produces advanced emotions. The development of thinking makes children's behavior have emotional factors. The development of thinking enables children to better evaluate, experience and control themselves, which is conducive to the development of self-awareness and personality. The development of thinking also makes children begin to understand the relationship between people and consider the social consequences of their actions. With a sense of responsibility, children's intelligence is enhanced in an all-round way and their sociality is developed.

Five aspects of children's early intellectual development: 1, developing perceptual ability;

Children's feelings and perceptions are the basis of their understanding of the world. The development of children's perceptual ability is of great significance for them to know the world, master knowledge and engage in various activities. In order to develop children's perception:

First, parents should adopt various ways to encourage their children to see, listen, touch, smell and taste things around them, so as to promote the development of their senses and perceptions.

Second, get in touch with nature, learn more about flowers, grass, fish, insects, sun, moon, stars, clouds, mountains, water and lakes, and broaden your horizons.

Third, using bright colors, vivid images and various toys, let children develop their feelings and know the attributes of things, such as color, shape and size.

2. Develop children's painting ability and musical ability;

Painting can cultivate children's observation, memory, thinking, imagination and good aesthetics. Therefore, parents should cultivate and develop their children's drawing ability as soon as possible, and encourage their children to draw what they are interested in from an early age.

Music can not only stimulate children's emotions, but also develop children's sense of hearing, rhythm, singing and music appreciation. Parents should give their children more opportunities to listen to music. Starting from two months, their children will listen to some soft and beautiful music after waking up. Parents can often sing to their children with beautiful voices. When children just learn to walk, they practice with music.

3. Develop children's language and memory skills;

In order to promote the development of children's language and memory, first, let children listen early and listen to adults more. Parents should communicate with their babies as soon as possible. Don't let a newborn lie there just because he can't talk. After the child is born, parents should always call the child's name, talk to the child, sing and play music, cultivate the child's response to sound and develop the child's listening. Second, encourage children to speak boldly and inspire them to express their feelings, wishes and ideas in words as much as possible. Third, grasp the best period of children's language development. According to research, 2 ~ 3 years old is the best age for children's oral development. At this time, it is easy for children to learn to speak. 4 ~ 5 years old is the best age for children to learn written language. At this time, children are most sensitive to reading and literacy. Fourth, to teach children to speak and read, we should first teach children physical nouns and verbs that are often repeated in games and life. Fifth, try to make use of the rhyming characteristics of nursery rhymes to teach children to recite simple nursery rhymes and retell simple stories.

4, cultivate imagination and thinking ability:

In order to cultivate children's imagination and thinking ability, first of all, we should encourage children to imagine and ask questions boldly, cherish their rich imagination and inspire their thinking. Children put forward some childish ideas, don't laugh at them, but induce them well. Third, arrange more imaginative and ideological activities for children, such as games and storytelling. In the activity, let children use their brains and enrich the content with their own imagination, and adults can't do it all. Third, give children more opportunities to think and create for themselves. For example, if you buy a new picture book for your child, don't tell it to your child in a hurry. Let the child look at the picture and think about the content. Let the child talk about what he sees and likes, and then guide him.

5. Cultivate operational capabilities:

In order to cultivate children's operation ability, we should provide children with the conditions to play games, give them some opportunities to operate, encourage children to play more games such as building blocks, encourage children to do more manual work, and pinch toys with plasticine and origami. For older children, the father can teach him to wash handkerchiefs and sweep the floor every time, which can not only cultivate children's habit of loving labor, but also help to cultivate their operational ability.
