Children's brain development golden period

For parents, the biggest wish is that their children can grow up healthily. In addition to the physical condition, the intellectual development of children is also very important. Children of different ages have different characteristics of brain development. If children's external training can be strengthened during the golden period, it will greatly promote their brain development. So, when is the golden period of children’s brain development? Let’s take a look below.

When is the golden period for children's brain development?

At 3 months, brain cell development enters its first peak period.

At 4-5 months, brain cells are still at their peak and memory traces occasionally appear.

At 6 months, grooves and convolutions appear on the surface of the brain, and the hierarchical structure of the cerebral cortex is basically formed. There are 14 billion brain cells, which is the number of brain cells for a lifetime.

How to seize the critical period of brain development

1. Nutrition

First of all, you must ensure that your baby is breastfed, because the taurine contained in breast milk can promote the proliferation of brain cells.

Secondly, protein, calcium, vitamins, fat and lecithin are key substances that promote children's brain development.

Then, fish meat is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, calcium, iron, vitamin B12 and other ingredients, which are essential nutrients for the development of brain cells.

2. Parent-child communication

Parent-child communication is essential for your baby's brain development.

Parent-child communication begins with prenatal education, when the mother touches her belly and talks to the baby.

Then, when the baby is born, although the baby does not understand what the mother says, the mother must not forget the importance of parent-child communication.

During this stage, mothers can communicate more with their babies, including touching and playing games, which can make the baby's brain work and promote intellectual development.

Not only that, it can also strengthen the parent-child relationship and give the baby enough sense of security and happiness.

3. Develop both left and right brains

The human brain is divided into the left and right hemispheres, which have different functions, but children rarely use the right brain when learning.

Cultivating drawing skills, manual labor and physical training are the best ways to develop the right brain intelligence of infants and young children.

Therefore, you should use your left eye, left ear, left hand, and left foot more to give full play to their functions and promote the development of the right brain.

We should consciously encourage infants and young children to use various movements such as grabbing, holding, pinching, throwing, catching, patting, running and jumping with their hands to promote cerebellar development and balance.

In addition, adequate sleep and outdoor exercise are helpful to the baby's brain development. Mothers must seize the opportunity and work hard to make their babies smarter!
