Four-year-old baby has intellectual disability

For a long time, it is difficult to judge the baby's intellectual development. But after the age of four, the development of intelligence becomes very obvious. There are many manifestations of intellectual retardation in a four-year-old baby, not only in terms of intelligence, but also in other aspects of abnormalities. We need to know the main characteristics and respond in time when we discover them. So, what are the symptoms of intellectual disability in a four-year-old baby?

1. Symptoms of intellectual retardation in four-year-old babies: physical retardation

You can observe to see if the child's height, weight, and head circumference are lower than those of people of the same stage and gender. If so, it means that the child's development is relatively slow, which leads to the child being light, growing slowly, and being too thin.

2. Symptoms of intellectual developmental delay in four-year-old babies: motor developmental delay

At 3 months old, a toddler cannot stand or take steps. At 4 months, the baby's hands were clenched into fists with the thumbs curled inward and unable to open. When the baby straightens his back at 5 months old, his head will shake unsteadily and he will not reach out to grab things when he sees them. At 6 months old, he couldn't smile, didn't recognize people, and had slow reactions.

3. Symptoms of intellectual developmental delay in four-year-old babies: language delay

The child's language receptive ability is 2-3 times slower than that of other children of the same age. For example, at the age of 1, he cannot call daddy or mommy; at the age of 4, he cannot speak complete sentences.

4. Symptoms of intellectual retardation in a four-year-old baby --- intellectual retardation

The child's intelligence is relatively low, he is not interested in things in the outside world, has a dull expression, sleeps a lot and is difficult to wake up, and cries abnormally. After 6 months, the phenomenon of staring at and playing with hands still exists. These are all manifestations of slow intellectual development.

During treatment, first of all, you should take your child to the hospital for a physical examination, and then conduct a comprehensive analysis based on the results to find out the cause of the baby's developmental delay, prescribe the right medicine, and determine the treatment plan.

1. Malnutrition

If the delay is caused by insufficient nutrition, then during treatment, all you need to do is to ensure a balanced and reasonable intake of nutrition, develop good eating habits, and promote the baby's appetite.

If dwarfism is caused by disease, the disease should be treated first and then adequate nutrition should be supplemented.

3. Caused by mental factors

If it is caused by mental factors, we must first change the environment so that the patient can get spiritual comfort and care so that the condition can be alleviated.

4. Familial short stature and constitutional growth retardation

If it is a family hereditary disease, then during treatment, it is necessary to develop the growth potential through conditioning and, if necessary, use growth hormone appropriately.
