How to judge whether the baby's intellectual development is normal or not

If you want your baby to achieve good results in the future, you must cultivate his intelligence from an early age. So how do you judge whether your baby's intelligence development is normal? How to improve your baby's IQ? The following editor will introduce you in detail.

How to judge the baby's intellectual development

Does the baby like to laugh?

Generally speaking, babies start to smile when they are 4 to 6 weeks old, and some may smile earlier. At first, babies often smile during light sleep, and when they grow up, they may giggle in their sleep.

Some experts who study child psychology have found that a baby's smile can give a rough idea of ​​its intellectual development. Children who love to smile have better intellectual development than those who don't. If a baby still can't smile after 8 to 10 weeks of birth, then there may be problems with its intelligence.

Can babies "follow people" with their eyes?

The pupil of a newborn baby reacts to light, but because there are fewer cells in the macula and the eye muscles are poorly adjusted, the vision is not sharp. The farthest range of vision is 60 cm, and the vision is clearest within 20 cm, and can be focused for a short time. Infants can use their eyes to follow moving objects horizontally and turn 90 degrees at 4 to 6 weeks. When they hear their mother's voice at 12 weeks, they will turn their heads to face their mother. When they see an adult holding a bottle to feed him (her), they will open their mouths and wait. If the child still cannot "follow people" with his eyes at 6 months old, it is possible that his intellectual development is abnormal.

Is the baby sleeping too much?

Newborns spend most of their day sleeping, and as they grow older, they sleep less and less and stay awake longer. If a baby sleeps too long, exceeds a certain limit, is drowsy all day, and has difficulty feeding, it may be that there is a problem with intelligence.

Is the baby's motor development normal?

Newborn babies will hold everything put in their hands. This is an instinctive reaction of human beings. This is the grasping reflex. Only when the grasping reflex disappears after 3 months of birth can babies consciously hold objects.

At this time, they often lie on the bed and play with their hands. But after 6 months of birth, most of them stop playing with their limbs. Children with abnormal intellectual development will still play with their hands after 6 months until 1 year old. Babies aged 6 to 7 months can bend over to pick up objects far away from themselves, and can pass objects between their hands; babies around 6 months old begin to chew food and can eat biscuits by themselves. Babies aged 9 months can let go or throw objects at will, and often enjoy doing so. The above can also be used as a reference for understanding the intellectual development of infants.

Is social development normal?

When a baby is just born, it cannot recognize people. It doesn't matter who holds it. It is not shy at all. After 3 months, the baby starts to recognize people. When parents or close people approach, he (she) often smiles to show happiness, and sometimes dances. After 6 months, the baby begins to be shy. He is afraid of strangers, avoids them, and even cries. He often buries his face in his mother's arms. Once he sees his relatives, he opens his arms and wants to be held. This shows that the child can distinguish between familiar people and strangers at this time and has obvious memories. If the child is 8 months old and still has no shyness, it should be considered that there is a problem with his intelligence.

How to improve your baby's IQ

Enhance children's emotional intelligence. A child with high emotional intelligence is often better able to perform in various environments than a child who is simply smart. They know how to express themselves, how to observe the reactions of others, and how to use various conditions to complete tasks.

Guide children to set a goal and inspire them to think creatively. If they have these, plus the ability to determine goals and have the ability to achieve goals in a reasonable and step-by-step manner, then this child will definitely be very outstanding in the future.

Changing children's eating habits. Changing children's eating habits has been proven to be a very effective way to improve intelligence. Cultivating good eating habits for babies is not only beneficial to the development of intelligence, but also good for the physical development of babies.

Create an inspiring and sensory stimulating environment for children. Similarly, if you can provide children with an inspiring and sensory stimulating environment, it will be very helpful for the development of their brain development, behavior, language and other abilities.
