How to check your child's intelligence

Although many parents hope that their children are smart, they also pay more attention to their children's health. As for intelligence, an average level is enough. But sometimes, some of their children's behaviors always make parents feel that their children are less intelligent than other children. So, is there any way to check a child's intelligence? Actually, there are some methods.

1. Too much sleep, especially "honest"

Generally speaking, newborns under one month old need about 18 to 20 hours of sleep in a day. You may only be awake for about 3-4 hours a day, which is exactly the state of "sleep after eating". When the baby is 2-3 months old, he needs to sleep 16-18 hours a day; when he is 5-9 months old, he still needs to sleep 15-16 hours; when he is one year old, he needs to sleep about 14-15 hours.

Some parents may say, "My baby is very well behaved. He goes to sleep after eating every day and never makes trouble." Parents need to be cautious in this case. If your baby is in a sleeping state all the time and is difficult to wake up for a long time exceeding a reasonable time, it is best to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up to avoid affecting the child's intellectual development.

2. Dull expression

Some babies with congenital intellectual disabilities have abnormal facial and body appearance. For example, children with congenital idiocy have eyes that are too wide apart, slanted eyes, flat noses, tongues that often hang outside the mouth, and drooling, which is what people often call an "international face." Children with hydrocephalus have particularly large head circumference, while children with microcephaly have particularly small heads.

If the baby's expression is always dull, and he does not smile until he is 100 days old, and his expression is unnatural, and he still cannot smile normally at 6 months old, parents need to take the baby to see a doctor in time.

If the baby suddenly screams loudly, without echo, and the sound starts quickly and ends quickly. Such crying combined with other symptoms such as shaking head, straight eyes, staring, drowsiness, irritability, fever, convulsions, etc. may be caused by cranial brain diseases such as purulent meningitis;

If the baby suddenly stops crying or making noise and becomes overly quiet, this is also an abnormal phenomenon. Because some newborns are too ill to cry, parents need to observe them carefully and go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time if they show any abnormal behavior.

4. The head cannot stand up

Some babies cannot hold their heads up or have difficulty turning their heads when they are over 100 days old, and one or both eyes continue to look inward or outward. At this time, parents can give their baby some head-lifting training. If there is no effect, they should take the baby to the hospital for examination immediately and ask the doctor the reason so as to discover the problem as early as possible and receive timely treatment.

5. Poor sucking ability

Some babies learn to chew relatively late, and are prone to swallowing difficulties and vomiting when eating solid food. The earliest symptoms shown by babies with intellectual disabilities are often difficulty in feeding, inability to suck, and being particularly prone to spitting up milk. This indicates damage to the nervous system and will affect their intelligence in the future. After the baby starts eating complementary foods when he is six months old, he will have difficulty chewing and feeding, and solid food will be difficult to swallow and may even cause vomiting.

Baby bedtime stories are all simple and clear short stories. If any parents don’t know what short story to tell, they can refer to the following two short stories. In fact, you can find them on the Internet. If you don’t understand, you can go to the bookstore and buy related books.

1. The rooster and the duckling

One day, the duckling and the rooster went out to play together, and they walked into the haystack. The little cock found lots of bugs and ate them happily. But the little duck couldn't catch any insects and cried in panic. The little rooster saw this and called the little duck to eat it as soon as he caught the insect.

They walked to the river, and the duckling said, "Brother Rooster, I'm going to the river to catch fish for you." The rooster said, "I'll go too." The duckling said, "No, no, you can't swim. You will drown if you go in!" The rooster didn't believe it and secretly followed the duckling into the water.

The little duck was catching fish in the water when suddenly he heard the little rooster shouting for help. So it swam quickly to the little rooster and let the little rooster sit on its back. The little rooster came ashore and said to the little duck with a smile: "Thank you, brother duck."

2. Zifei is back

Spring has arrived and the earth is full of life. At this time, the cute little swallows also followed their mother to fly back from the far south to their hometown in the north.

Fly, fly, they flew over the sea. The little swallow looked down and asked curiously, "Mom, where do all those iron towers come from on the sea?" The mother smiled and said, "My child, those are derricks. Workers are extracting oil from the seabed."

Flying, flying, they flew over the mountains. Little Swallow looked down and asked curiously: "Mom, why doesn't the train emit smoke?" Mom smiled and said: "Child, it's an electric locomotive. Look, there are wires on the roof."

Flying and flying, they flew across the fields and flew to the place where they lived last year. The little swallow asked curiously, "Mom, where did all these new houses come from?" Mom smiled and said, "My child, the farmers are living a good life. Look, isn't that the child writing Qiucheng?"

Little Swallow said happily: "Mom, Qiucheng is also going to school." Mom said: "Yes! The countryside has changed a lot!"
