How can children improve their intelligence? This is how a genius baby is made

A child's brain development determines his intelligence and IQ. How to make a child's intelligence higher requires some training or developing good living habits. Breakfast must be eaten, and some brain-boosting foods should also be eaten.

Breakfast not to be missed

According to British researchers, children who skip breakfast get 10%-15% less nutrients than those who eat breakfast. How can you not suffer a loss of intelligence if you don't eat breakfast?

Breakfast plays a very important role in the healthy growth of children. Eating breakfast not only helps children restore their physical strength, but eating a good breakfast is also beneficial to improving their learning and cognitive abilities. Therefore, for the health of their children, parents should say goodbye to three unscientific breakfast patterns for children.

Casual type: Food is mostly leftovers from the previous day. People eat whatever is available, and the quantity and nutrition cannot meet their needs.

Protein-only type: only a glass of milk or a fried egg, little or no sugar. Children who eat this type of breakfast will have a relatively stable low blood sugar level throughout the morning, making it difficult for them to think quickly and their memory will be poor.

Carbohydrate-only type: only eats steamed bread and porridge, lacks protein. At the beginning, these children have higher blood sugar levels, active thinking and full of energy, but their blood sugar levels drop rapidly, which will cause a continuous decline in thinking and memory abilities.

Breakfast should include cereals, vegetables, fruits, meat and milk. Do not replace milk with milk-containing beverages. Change the breakfast frequently, combining dry and liquid foods, meat and vegetables, and coarse and fine foods. Do not feed children fried dough sticks, glutinous rice balls and other fried foods every day for the sake of convenience.

Sleep is also an important factor

French scientists have discovered that children’s academic performance is closely related to the length of their sleep. Among those who slept less than 8 hours, 61% performed poorly in their studies, only 39% barely reached the average score, and no one was among the top; while among those who slept 10 hours a night, 76% performed averagely, 11% performed well, and only 13% performed poorly in their studies.

It’s important to have a routine to follow. A consistent bedtime and pre-sleep routine can help children know what to expect next. If bedtime, location, or routine keeps changing, they become anxious, confused, and think there's room for negotiation. While some children rely more on routine than others, all children can benefit from a bedtime routine.

A good bedtime routine that works for children takes about half an hour and includes a bath, cuddling, and a story or song. If the routine takes too long or is too complicated, it will not calm the child but will make him more excited. But if the time is too short, children will feel that they are being forced to go to bed.

If your bedtime on the weekends is more than an hour later than your normal bedtime, you're going to have trouble on Monday night. For best results, have only one bedtime per week. This plan may be difficult for families who like to sleep in on weekends. If this is the case, have an adult get up at a normal time with the children on Saturday or Sunday morning, which will make the week easier.

If possible, your child should sleep in the same place every night. Frequently changing sleeping places, sleeping in different beds, sometimes sleeping on the floor, sometimes sleeping on the sofa, will make it difficult for children to form a fixed sleeping pattern. If you have a rotating parenting arrangement, do your best to maintain your child's bedtime routine and use the same items, such as pillows and blankets, as much as possible, and try to place these items in the same location. Parents who don't live together should consult and coordinate their children's bedtime routines and try to follow the same pattern.

Exercise can help improve intelligence

A researcher in the United States found that children who insist on having a fixed time of activity every day have significantly better learning ability than those who neglect exercise.

The living world of infants and young children is composed of three lenses: sleep, eating and exercise, which alternate with each other and take place day and night.

The movement scenes appear more and more frequently as the baby gets older, and the amount of activity becomes more and more amazing!

The benefits of exercise include promoting the growth of nerves, muscles and bones, and helping to establish one's body image and understanding of the external environment. If the baby's movements are well developed, he can protect himself from falling or knocking over. He can also control the environment, overcome obstacles, and avoid many potential dangers, such as crossing ditches, crossing high places, etc.

Children do not necessarily have to do sports outdoors, nor do they necessarily need to use other props or equipment. In daily home life, some casual movements are the simplest sports movements. Parents may wish to participate together to make it the best parent-child leisure method!

Here we would like to remind all parents that before starting freehand exercises, please first pay attention to whether there are sharp or angular furniture objects in the surrounding environment to ensure safety; secondly, when it comes to children's clothing, sweat-absorbent and comfortable should be the principle. If you are worried that your child may slip during intense exercise, you can put on anti-slip socks with plastic particles on the soles of their feet in advance. Don't forget to drink some water after exercise to replenish lost water, or change your sweaty clothes to avoid catching a cold.

Give your children more "brain-boosting food"

Brain cells need a lot of protein to renew during the metabolism process. Paying attention to the quality and quantity of protein in the diet can improve the vitality of brain cells. Nutritionists advocate that the ideal ratio of animal to plant protein is 1:2. Among animal proteins, you should eat more marine fish and shrimps; among plant proteins, you should choose soybeans. Lecithin is an important substance that constitutes nerve cells and brain metabolism. It is very beneficial for enhancing brain memory. Parents should let their children consume appropriate amounts of animal brains, bone marrow, egg yolks, soybeans, etc.

When scientists were studying the relationship between trace elements and intelligence, they found that students with good grades had significantly higher blood zinc levels than students with poor academic performance. Diets rich in zinc include: seafood, animal liver, lean meat, and nuts. Parents should give their children more supplements.

Girls who often spend time with their fathers have high IQs

This is determined by the father's special parenting style and the influence of his personality. Fathers tend to be more creative and dynamic in their play with their children than mothers. Sociologists have found that girls who have close ties with their fathers have strong self-confidence, independence, and social skills. In addition, their fathers' good qualities in interpersonal communication, such as honesty, ruggedness, spirit of exploration of new things, and desire to realize self-worth, can have a subtle influence on girls.

Children who are breastfed have higher IQs. Nutrition experts from the University of Cambridge in the UK conducted an IQ test on 300 children aged 7-8 and found that children who were breastfed had an IQ 10 points higher than those who were fed dairy products. The secret is: breast milk contains a variety of active substances that can promote children's brain development, especially a special amino acid called taurine. Compared to cow's milk, the taurine content in breast milk is more than 10 times higher.

The osmotic pressure of milk powder is generally higher than that of breast milk. Eating it frequently may cause health risks to babies

All formulas, regardless of where they come from, have a higher osmotic pressure than breast milk. If babies consume high-osmotic infant milk products for a long time, the normal balance of body fluids will be disrupted, leading to increased burden on the kidneys, and the children may develop diabetes when they grow up. Therefore, we have always advocated that breast milk is the healthiest and safest food for babies.
