What are the symptoms of intellectual disability in 3-year-old children?

Everyone has intelligence, and it is with its help that we have entered the high-tech age. What's more, human intelligence is endless and can be fully utilized as long as the brain is developed. But in life, some people have problems with their intelligence, which may be caused by congenital factors. So the question is, what are the signs of intellectual disability in a three-year-old baby?

1. The reaction is slow, lower than that of normal children, and not as quick as normal children. He does things in a dull and old-fashioned way, is unwilling to talk to others, and it takes a long time for him to learn what he is taught. This is a sign of mental retardation. He is not interested in toys and won't play with them even if he has them. From sleeping a lot when he was a child, he has changed to being active all day long without any purpose.

2. The earliest characteristic of children with mental retardation is that they tend to sleep for a long time, are very quiet all day, and rarely cry; they master various movements such as sitting, standing, walking, and talking later than normal children; they are not interested in their surroundings and do not look at the things around them.

What to do if your three-year-old baby has low intelligence

1. The key to treating mental retardation is early stimulation, training and strengthening of brain development. That is, through the children's visual, auditory, tactile and other sensory channels, alternating strong and weak, repeated stimulation, the nerve channels are opened up, and the reaction ability and reaction speed are improved.

2. If the child has limb motor dysfunction, limb rehabilitation exercises are required at the same time. Parents can calm down and educate their children patiently. Children can learn if they have normal intelligence, but their abilities in knowledge are not yet fully developed.

Although part of the baby's intelligence may be innate, if the family can help the baby restore his intelligence in time, there is still a great possibility of recovery. The baby’s intellectual disability may not be obvious at first. Some examinations will be done right after the baby is born and some causes may be found, so family members should pay more attention.
