Intellectual development of a four-year-old baby

The development of a child's intelligence is not only judged by whether he is smart or not. Language, adaptability, cognition, etc. also fall under the category of intellectual development. A four-year-old child has a certain level of thinking ability, and his intellectual development is relatively intuitive. Whether it is normal can be judged by some standards, and it is inaccurate to compare him with other children. So, what are the intellectual development standards for a four-year-old baby? Let’s take a look below.

1. Fine movements

Can draw three parts of a portrait. Adaptability: Can spell out a circle (four quarter circles) and can say what is missing in a picture (just 2 out of 6).

2. Social Behavior

Can answer why we should wash hands before eating. If all these tests are passed, it means that the baby's intelligence is well developed.

3. Science and Mathematics

They are familiar with certain natural geographical and biological knowledge. For example, the baby knows the process of a caterpillar turning into a butterfly and can give a simple description of the process.

4. Language

At this time, the baby can express himself well in language, retell stories, and share the books he has read with other children. Know how many pieces an apple can be cut into and say 4 antonyms.

The baby can adapt to the group and has a strong sense of self-awareness. For example, the baby likes to express himself and can actively raise his hand to answer questions in the preschool class.

6. Artistic quality

There will also be a certain degree of development in artistic talent. For example, the baby can use simple lines to roughly draw the person or thing he wants to draw.

Four-year-old baby's intellectual development standard: how to make the baby's intellectual development better

1. Patiently explain “why”

As their brains change, children are in urgent need of expanding their knowledge, and they will often ask their parents “why?” When encountering such a situation, parents should try to explain patiently using children's language and thinking methods, and not make it too complicated. While children are acquiring knowledge, their memory will also be further improved.

2. Cultivate simple reasoning ability

You can take your children out into nature and let them observe the animals and plants in detail and ask questions. For example: "Why do birds fly in the sky?" "Why do trees only grow on the ground?" After returning home, tell them stories by comparing them with the pictures in the book to stimulate children's imagination.

3. Practice fine finger movements

The ten fingers are connected to the brain, so the development of the brain cannot be separated from the promotion of finger activities. During this period, parents can try to let their children do some simple handicrafts, such as origami paper airplanes, folding clothes, or even just encourage them to rub their hands together, which are beneficial to brain development.

4. Enrich game content

Children aged four or five are curious about various movements and postures. Parents should play more games with their children and let their children learn actions such as climbing, crawling, and throwing through games. During this process, they will feel excited, and this reaction can directly stimulate the brain nerves, which is very helpful for children's observation, reaction and judgment abilities.

Don't let your children learn complex knowledge and actions too early, such as writing, reciting uncommon words and sentences, etc., otherwise it will be detrimental to their healthy growth.

Intellectual development standards for four-year-old babies: Diet and nutrition for four-year-old babies

1. Supplement amino acids

Amino acids are important substances that make up the brain. The amount of amino acids in the brain determines a person's intelligence and memory. The key to nourishing the brain and improving memory is to supplement amino acid nutrition.

At the same time, amino acids are also involved in the formation of bones and can accelerate bone growth. Animal proteins such as eggs, milk, meat, fish, and soy protein have amino acid patterns that are very close to those of the human body, and we call them high-quality proteins.

2. Do not consume too much protein

Excessive intake will be detrimental to the baby's growth. When it exceeds the baby's own digestion and absorption capacity, symptoms such as anorexia and dry stools will occur. If the baby's digestion and absorption function is normal and eats sufficient animal food and bean food every day, there is no need to supplement any amino acid nutrients.
