Psychological aspects of nervous system development in preschool children

The development of the nervous system is directly related to a person's physical health, especially the development of the nervous system of some preschool children. It is directly related to the child's psychology. Therefore, many parents must pay attention to the development of their children's nervous system. The following content gives a detailed introduction, and you can learn about it in detail.

Preschoolers refer to children aged 3-6 years old. The weight of children's brains continues to increase during this period, reaching 1280 grams at the age of 6, which is basically close to that of adults. Nerve fibers continue to grow, branch more, and become longer, which is more conducive to neural connections. By the age of 6, the myelin sheath is basically developed, and nerve conduction becomes faster and more accurate. The differentiation of the various lobes of the brain gradually matures by the end of the age of 6. The increasing maturity of brain structure and physiology lays a good foundation for the development of children's behavior.

As the nervous system develops, the excitatory and inhibitory functions of preschool children are constantly increasing, and the excitatory process is further enhanced than before. Children are awake longer every day than before. A 7-year-old child only needs to sleep 11 hours a day, which gives the child more time to participate in games, learning and practical activities.

As practical activities become more complex and the scope of communication with adults expands, language skills also develop rapidly. Preschool is a critical period for the development of complete oral language and a period of gradual development of coherent language. Children around 3 years old have a vocabulary of about 1,000 to 1,100 words, children aged 4 to 5 years old have about 2,000 to 3,000 common words, and children aged 5 to 6 years old can master 3,000 to 4,000 words. The language expression of children around 3 years old is limited to conversations with other children or adults and asking questions. They lack coherent narrative and cannot tell a complete story. If given the right education, the coherence of a child's language will gradually develop, and by the age of 5 or 6, he or she will be able to tell complete stories. The development of language coherence is an important part of the development of children's language ability and logical thinking. Although children's language expression ability has further developed during this period and they can use language to express various impressions, their expression ability is generally still poor.

The psychological development of the nervous system of preschool children is of great significance to the child's life, so as a parent, you must fully understand the above content so that your child's nervous system development and psychology can achieve a normal synchronization before school age, so as not to affect your child's future growth and development.
