What most parents want is for their child to have fun in school and learn with ease at the same time while making friends.
Here are three easy steps to make your baby or toddler intelligent. We will cover:
How does the environment increase your baby's intelligence?
In what way does parental bonding/support make your baby intelligent?
How does early education increase your baby's intelligence?
1. How Does The Environment Increase Your Baby's Intelligence?
The first environment the baby or toddler experiences is in the home before going to preschool or kindergarten.
Home is where parents must create a space that allows the young child to learn.
Providing the right learning materials like flashcards, books, puzzles, and toys that a child can explore, learn, be creative, and have imagination.
Here is an important fact. Parents must balance guiding their children in their learning and providing them with independence to make mistakes and explore their creativity.
Home is also a place for the child to prepare to be "school-ready."
The foundation of making your baby or toddler smart starts at home.
2. In What Way does Parental bonding/support Make Your Baby Smart?
Parental support has a direct influence on the young child's intelligence.
The nurturing and stimulating environment provided by parents can significantly impact a child's cognitive abilities, mainly through fostering curiosity, encouraging exploration, and actively engaging with them in learning activities; a supportive parent can also help a child develop emotional intelligence by validating their feelings and teaching healthy coping mechanisms.
Early interactions matter:
Responding to a baby's cues, providing positive reinforcement, and engaging in face-to-face interactions help build crucial cognitive connections in the brain.
Language exposure:
Talking to a baby frequently, using a rich vocabulary, and reading books expose them to language patterns and support language development, which is linked to overall intelligence.
Play-based learning:
Providing age-appropriate toys and activities that encourage exploration and problem-solving promotes cognitive development.
Emotional support:
A secure and loving environment where a baby feels safe to express emotions is essential for healthy emotional development, which is intertwined with cognitive abilities.
Modeling behavior:
Parents can demonstrate positive behaviors like curiosity, problem-solving, and empathy, which children learn through observation and imitation.
3. How Does Early Education Increase Your Baby's Intelligence?
Your baby or toddler's smartness and intelligence depend on what you teach your baby.
What information your baby or toddler experiences through visual and auditory stimulation is crucial.
There are two areas of learning a young child should experience.
Language, math, and general knowledge.
Gross and fine motor skills.
1. Language, math, and general knowledge.
The first entry to learning for your baby or toddler is via flashcards.
Flashcards help in the visual and auditory senses. The words and pictures on the flashcard provide visual stimulation.
The words being read out from the flashcard stimulate the auditory senses.
2. Gross and fine motor skills.
Motor skills are crucial in your baby or toddler's brain development.
First, let's look at gross and fine motor skills.
1. Gross motor skills:
Involves the movement of large muscle groups
For example: crawling, sitting, standing, throwing, kicking
Focuses on body coordination and movement through space
2. Fine motor skills:
Movements of small muscle groups, especially in the hands and fingers
For example: grasping, writing, drawing, using utensils, buttoning clothes
Requires hand-eye coordination and precise movements
For your baby or toddler's brain development, starting your child's motor skills as early as possible is crucial.
For example, a newborn baby can learn how to hold objects. Learn how to use their fingers.
Every physical movement or coordination is essential as it helps wire the brain development.
The brain development of a child is wired based on how much and what kind of brain stimulation.
How do you start your baby or toddler's journey to intelligence and creativity?
With these three combinations of activities:
1. Positive learning environment.
2. Parental encouragement and support.
3. Early learning education suitable for babies and toddlers (Right Brain Education Method for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years old).
Your child will have a strong educational foundation and is school-ready. Start by teaching your baby or toddler as early as possible. Most importantly, make your child's learning FUN!
