There is a highly praised question and answer on Zhihu: \”How to judge whether a child is smart?\” One of the answers is: \”Smartness, like beauty, cannot be hidden. If you are not sure whether a child is smart, then generally It can be judged that this child’s intelligence is at a normal level. “True intelligence is often revealed inadvertently in a child’s daily behavior. If a child has the following three characteristics, it means that he is a typical \”smart\” person. Strong curiosity: the key to unlocking \”smartness\” Einstein once said: \”I have no special talent, I just have a strong curiosity. People who always remain curious are people who always make progress.\” Children with strong curiosity , always full of exploration of the world around him, wanting to know everything that is unknown. Comedian Louis C.K. once shared a conversation he had with his 3-year-old daughter: \”Dad, why can\’t we go outside?\” \”Because it\’s raining.\” \”Why?\” \”Well, because the water is falling from the sky.\” \”Why ?\” \”Because the water is hidden in the clouds.\” \”Why? \”Well, when there is vapor, clouds form.\” \”I don\’t know! I don\’t know any more!\” That\’s all I know. , will enter a stage of \”one hundred thousand whys\” and get to the bottom of a problem. At this time, most parents tend to think that this is their child\’s way of attracting adults\’ attention. Just like Louis C.K., their calmness and patience gradually begin to collapse until the end. In fact, when children ask these never-ending \”whys\”, they really want answers, want to find good explanations, and learn from them. Statistics show: \”Preschool children ask an average of 75 questions per hour.\” A little extrapolation will reveal that in the few years of preschool, children will ask thousands of questions. This pursuit of the unknown is their golden key to opening the door to wisdom. Therefore, the smarter the child, the more curious he is about everything around him, and the more he will constantly ask, try, and reflect. Parents must not think that their children are deliberately attracting attention. Good concentration: \”Smart\” inner strength Writer Jin Ziqian\’s son Jin Chengjie is very outstanding. He is proficient in three foreign languages: English, Korean and Spanish. He is good at Taekwondo, Go and investment and financial management. He graduated from high school at the age of 13 and successfully applied for American universities. Everyone he knows praises him for his high IQ and good understanding. But Jin Ziqian said: \”Cheng Jie\’s excellent academic performance is not only due to his extraordinary intelligence, but more importantly, his extraordinary concentration.\” In her book \”Children, Your Talent Mom Understands\” There are many examples of Jin Chengjie\’s concentration: for example, when he is reading, if his family in the next room asks him to eat fruit or drink, he will be completely \”blocked\” and cannot hear him. It is precisely because of this kind of concentration that he always gets twice the result with half the effort in his studies. He does not need to take extra tutoring classes at all, and has more time to spend on his hobbies and physical exercises than other children. Children with good concentration can learn more efficiently, and their wisdom can be deepened in the same limited time.excavation and display. This kind of concentration is directly proportional to the efficiency of learning, not the length of time. However, we can always see this scene around us: a child sitting upright at the desk, staring at the book, but half an hour has passed, and not a single page of the book has been turned. This is actually a sign of lack of concentration, which wastes time and yields no results. If your child always makes more time to play, don\’t think it\’s because he doesn\’t like to study. It may just be because he is focused enough, learns very efficiently, and can better balance learning and playing. Play fully: the source of wisdom of \”smartness\” German philosopher Schiller once said: \”Only when a person is fully human, he plays; only when a person plays, he is fully human.\” Play, for children Talking is not only a way to spend time, but also a way for them to express their nature and explore the world. In the home of writer Liu Chenglian, there is a \”play time\” with her daughter every day. If they have enough time, they will go to the fitness center downstairs to play on the swings; if they have less time, they will play backgammon, checkers, or poker at home. For her daughter, her favorite thing is playing cards as a family. They like to play \”Strive for the Top\” or \”Fight the Landlords\”. When playing, adults will not intentionally let the children down. There will be winners and losers, and winning or losing will not be fixed on one person. In this process, her daughter learned that winning and losing are normal things, and gradually developed the quality of \”can afford to lose\”. This excellent quality made her calmer and calmer in her later studies and life. A small poker game not only allows children to fully experience the fun of interacting with their parents, but also lays a solid foundation for their future understanding of social order. So, stop complaining that your children are playful and give them plenty of time to play. Children who play fully can learn rules, solve problems, and exert their creativity in games, and develop their intelligence and emotions in a subtle way. Such children are undoubtedly smarter and more comprehensive. Play is an indispensable partner in children\’s growth and the secret to them becoming smarter. The Irish poet William Butler Yeats once said: \”Education is not a process of indoctrination, but a kindling of fire.\” Whether a child is \”smart\” or not, half of the factors are due to innate inheritance, and the other half is shaped by nurture. There is a light of wisdom waiting to be ignited in every child\’s heart, and curiosity, concentration and the opportunity to fully play are the keys to igniting the fire. Children with strong curiosity are like having a compass to explore the world, constantly guiding them to discover new knowledge. Children with good concentration can delve deeply into the ocean of knowledge and gain profound thinking and understanding. Sufficient play is the cradle of creativity, allowing children to collide with sparks of inspiration in freedom. These three are not only the \”smart\” qualities of children, but also valuable assets that should be cherished in education.
