So when my cousin heard this sentence, she was very upset. Premature babies have lower IQ than other children, even though their physical fitness is not as good as other children? This made her particularly depressed and blamed herself. I never believed in these things. After all, the relationship between weight and IQ is very different. In order to appease my cousin, I specially invited a doctor, and the scientific explanation was reassuring.
There is no decisive relationship between weight and fetal IQ.
As we all know, when a child is born, he must be weighed and looked at. So to a certain extent, weight is really important to the health of the fetus. For example, if the fetus weighs more than 8 kilograms, it looks fatter and is a huge baby. Children under 5 kg are slightly poor in physique, lacking some other physical development, and some are congenital hypoplasia. And about 6 kg, which is the standard weight, is not fat or thin.
Li Ruizhen, director of the Health Department of Wuhan Children's Hospital, also said that the birth weight of newborns does have a certain impact on health, but it has nothing to do with IQ. A child's IQ can be divided into two parts, one is congenital inheritance and the other is acquired environmental influence. If you want your child to be smart, it is not helpful to control your weight blindly. The best way is to nurture and form good habits.
So we can also know that there is no decisive relationship between weight and children's IQ. But if you want your child to have a higher IQ, the following methods are very effective.
adequate sleep
Lack of sleep, poor spirit, poor state and poor memory. Therefore, in order to make children smarter, parents must urge their children to go to bed early and ensure adequate sleep, so that their IQ will be high.
sports
As we all know, some children with low IQ tend to move slowly and have uncoordinated limbs. The reason is that individual actions are dominated by the cerebral cortex. Children often exercise, coordinate their limbs, and accelerate blood circulation, thus promoting the activities of the cerebral cortex. After a long time, it is hard for children not to be smart.
In addition, parents can also promote their children's intellectual development through role-playing, reading fairy tales, touching and hugging. It can also be seen that parents don't have to link their children's birth weight with IQ, which is of little reference value.
