The hand is known as the "second brain" of the human body, and in the early stages of the child's brain development, it is through the eyes and hands to obtain information from the outside world.
The older generation often said that if you want to know whether Satoshi is smart or not, you can know it, and there is indeed a certain truth. However, it is not to look at the size, shape and smart line of the child's hand, but to see whether the child has a pair of skillful hands.
Newborns have a strong grip reflex that disappears around 3 months, after which their hands develop and slowly widen the gap.
Sugar Mom's neighbor has two daughters, the sister grew up around mom and dad, and the younger sister was brought back by her grandparents at the age of 3. The sisters look very similar, but the younger sister is skillful and the younger sister is slightly clumsy.
They both like Barbie dolls very much, the younger sister is young but can shape the doll, using color clay to pinch out a variety of household items; the older sister is older, but only limited to the simple action of changing the doll's clothes and bathing.
Neighbors often complained: "The old people in the family say that if you look at the hands of the two children, you will know who is smarter, and they are more optimistic about the sister who is skillful, why is the gap so big for my children?"
In later chats and contacts, Sugar Mom discovered the secret, and the neighbors confirmed this.
It turned out that the child's grandfather liked to do handicrafts, and the 3 years when the sister was with the grandfather, although she did not learn to memorize too many ancient poems, her small hands were particularly flexible. Don't say it's playing with dolls, give her a piece of paper can be folded out of the pattern, and now the sister's learning is better than the sister's.
You may ask, what does the child's flexible hands have to do with whether he is smart or not? Don't underestimate this detail, the name "second brain" did not come out of thin air.
Why is the development of a child's hands related to whether they are smart or not?
Educator Sukhomlins once said: "The intellectual development of a child is reflected in the tip of a finger".
The reason why the elderly are more optimistic about the skillful child is because to a certain extent, the flexibility of the child's fingers also represents the reaction speed and development of the brain.
The number of nerve fibers on the hand is as high as 1 million, the process of the child moving the finger will stimulate the brain to receive information, the neuron connection is more abundant, and the child's brain will develop better, so that the baby's hand fine movements are more and more flexible.
The neighbor's little daughter entered such a virtuous circle when she was young, and only then did the "skillful" child be smarter.
