How to develop children's intelligence

The intellectual development of children plays a very important role in their future development. If the children's intelligence is not well developed, it will have a certain impact on their future study and work. Therefore, parents must pay attention to the intellectual development of their children. So, how to develop children's intelligence? Here are some recommended methods for you!

1. Encourage children to imitate

Imitation is a manifestation of a child's learning ability.

Children who love to imitate are smarter. Parents who are good at encouraging their children to imitate can make their children smarter.

Studies have shown that children will actively imitate their parents' actions and language starting at the age of one. From this time on, parents should consciously set a good example.

For example, when communicating with children, we must remain patient, speak slowly in front of the children, and change our mouth shapes more exaggeratedly and slowly so that children can learn pronunciation faster.

If we want our children to learn a certain skill, such as washing hands, wiping hands, putting on and taking off shoes, brushing teeth, tidying up toys, etc., then we must demonstrate repeatedly in front of the children, give them enough time to learn, and let them master these new skills through imitation.

2. Actively bring children to experience

Before the age of 6, children mainly rely on experience to feel the world, and observe and learn in life and play. In other words, the more rich and varied experiences we provide our children, the more their brains will be stimulated.

To achieve this goal, we can do the following: take children to different places more often, such as parks, supermarkets, playgrounds, libraries, museums, etc., so that children can be exposed to different things.

Parents who have the conditions can arrange more family trips to give their children the opportunity to come into contact with different people and things from an early age, broaden their horizons, and enrich their cognition.

3. Read with your child

The famous educator Homlinsky once said that the way to make children smarter is not to give them extra lessons or increase the amount of homework, but to read, read, and read again.

But many children have no interest in reading, not because there are no books at home, but because their parents have no interest in reading. Therefore, if you want your children to develop a habit of reading, parents must first set an example themselves.

We must understand that even if we are not reading classic masterpieces, but some seemingly "useless" reading materials such as newspapers and magazines, they can also play a very important role in cultivating children's reading habits.
