4 ways to teach children to think early
Japanese mothers consider the age of 3 to be the golden age to teach children to think, helping them become smarter and have better language skills.
- Three years old-the stage when children have to think for themselves
The Japanese education style for 3-4 year old children is to switch to teaching children how to think for themselves. At this time, the child's brain is at its most developed stage. The nerve cells are also used to the maximum.
This helps children to have their own thoughts. The more they think and create at this age, the more their creativity will be maximized when they grow up.
- Teach children to play smart
The more children play thinking games, the more they will think and explore. This makes them able to become people with high IQ and creative thinking.
At this age, your child’s toys are no longer just push-button toys, musical toys, or battery-operated cars and animals. Instead, they require smarter, more suitable toys.
Children think by playing and learning
From the age of 3, not only does the child’s brain develop, but the child’s ability to think through controlling the senses also excels. Parents can guide the child through simple movements. Then gradually increase the difficulty by using more fingertips. Good activities for this are folding paper, cutting with scissors, gluing paper with glue… Teach children how to tie knots, button shirts, tie shoelaces…
- Chat to increase children's language thinking
At this age, children are curious about everything around them. They want to discover new things that they do not know and have countless questions that they want to know. Parents should listen and care about their children's questions.
This will help your child to be more eager to learn. In particular, do not impose your thoughts on your child. Do not force your child to learn according to dogmatic arguments or things that are not suitable for his or her abilities.
