As a mother, you must actively understand the five periods of your baby's intellectual development, so that you can seize favorable opportunities to actively develop your baby's intelligence, make your baby smarter, become better, and let your baby's growth and development surpass most children.

Eating foods rich in DHA is very helpful for children's intellectual development. Parents can give their babies more healthy complementary foods rich in DHA. You can use fish meat and dried fruits to make fish balls for children, or use scallop meat and shrimp with rice noodles to make complementary foods for children. Various deep-sea fish, shellfish, fish sauce, shrimp and crab are all effective sources of DHA for the human body. Eating more of this kind of food can help babies improve their brain intelligence.

1. Look at sports performance

A newborn baby will grab anything given to him. This is an instinctive reaction. The baby will not consciously grab things until he is three months old. Generally speaking, the baby can sit at six months old and stand at about one year old. If the baby sits and walks early, it means that the baby is well developed physically and has a higher intelligence.

2. Look at the language performance

Language ability is controlled by the brain. Generally, babies start talking earlier, have a larger vocabulary than other children of the same age, and speak logically. Children with strong language ability have better brain development, which is also a manifestation of higher intelligence.

3. Look at the performance of critical thinking ability

The way some babies speak may give people the impression of being "quick-talking" and "very smart", especially those children who like to argue. In fact, this is a manifestation of strong thinking ability and a symbol of higher intelligence.

4. Look at the performance of imagination

Surveys show that children who love to play pranks are more creative and imaginative. This is because children playing pranks is not a free-for-all, they need to use their brains to "design" a whole plan, which is undoubtedly good for the development of their brains.

5. Look at the performance of research ability

If you observe carefully, you will find that some babies love to play with small objects. They like to knock the small objects in their hands with their hands, or change hands to knock things. They will play with the small objects in their hands in various ways. They like to pick up small objects on the ground, and will also throw the toys in their hands hard to hear the sound.

This shows that the baby is full of curiosity and exploration ability about many things, and always wants to do something to see if objects will change. This is also a manifestation of high intelligence.

Game 1: Kick your legs and stretch your waist

How to play: Play soothing classical music, and mom and dad help the baby do body kinesthetic training: head and neck exercises (forward, back, left, right), arm exercises (forward, back, left, right, extension and circle), leg exercises (sit inward, abduction, flexion, extension, circle) and other exercises.

While doing exercises for the baby, the parents look into the baby's eyes and recite the commands: one, two, three, four, two, two, three, four...

Tip: This game is suitable for babies aged 0 to 1. The left side of the body is controlled by the right brain, and the right side is controlled by the left brain. Therefore, parents often help their babies to exercise, which can not only improve the flexibility and coordination of their body functions, but also cultivate their concept of space and promote the development of their right brain. Game 2: Dance

How to play: With classical music playing in the background, mom and dad lead their baby to dance, clap or do various actions they like according to the rhythm of the music.

This game is suitable for babies of any age. For babies who cannot walk yet, mothers can hold their babies and make dancing movements, or move their hands and feet to the rhythm. When hearing the sound of a musical instrument, babies over 2 years old can try to imitate the movements of playing the instrument.

For example, when listening to violin music, imitate playing the violin; when listening to piano music, imitate the posture of pressing the piano keys with the left and right hands. You can also let your baby play freely and dance to the rhythm of the music.

Tip: Classical music plays a great role in the development of the baby's right brain. With the accompaniment of beautiful music, the baby can make many beautiful and harmonious movements, which promotes right brain thinking and activates right brain functions.

Game 3: What does it look like? How to play: Let the baby face a wall without too much visual stimulation. Mom or dad holds a picture card or building blocks in their hands and enters the baby's left eye from behind his left ear. Ask the baby: "What does this look like to you?" Let him use his rich imagination to answer the question.

Note: Never ask "What is this?" Such questions can easily lead to a single answer and restrict children's imagination.

Tips: This game is suitable for babies aged 1.5 to 3 years old. Imagination training can give more stimulation to the right brain cells. As long as your baby is not bored, you can play imaginative games with him often.

For example, in sunny weather, parents can lie on the grass with their baby and observe the clouds in the sky, inspiring them to see clouds of different shapes as animals, fairies, angels, etc. Never underestimate your baby's curious exploration activities or silly "wild imaginations", because these are the budding stages of creative ability. Game 4: Find a friend How to play: Spread out a few letter cards and let your baby match two identical letter cards.

Tip: This matching game is suitable for babies around 1 and a half years old. As the baby grows older, gradually develop the matching game into a "classification game".

Game 6: Magical Paper Box

How to play: Leave the used tissue boxes at home, put some toys, candies, fruits, etc. in it, let the baby touch it, ask him to say the name before taking it out, or give him instructions, please ask him to take out things according to the instructions. For older babies, you can give him negative instructions.

For example: "Please take out the inedible things" or "Please take out the things that are not round" etc. To increase the fun, you can also use some reward methods. For example: if the baby takes the right candy, the candy will be given to the baby to eat, and if the baby takes the wrong candy, the mother will eat it.
