Hands are called people's "second brain", which can reflect whether a person's brain is well developed. Some parents may be confused. The hands are clearly inseparable from the brain, so why can they be called the "second brain"?
Hands are the "second brain". This statement is not groundless.
When a child is born, the part of the body that is awakened is the hand. When a newborn baby is born, in addition to crying, even when the eyes cannot see things and the ears cannot hear clearly, the baby will already have a grasping reaction. After a while, the baby will also slowly eat his hands.
Although babies are not able to use their hands flexibly with a strong sense of autonomy, the development of their hands is more advanced.
In infancy, children have strong curiosity, thirst for knowledge, and desire to explore for this strange world. The "detector" that satisfies these desires of children in the early stages is the hand. Children learn basic characteristics of things through groping, grasping, pinching, and other actions.
When children can better control their hand movements, we will find that children like to disassemble many toys and other items. It can be said that their hands cannot stop for a moment.
During the entire process, the information generated by the child's hand touching the object is sent to the brain through neural reactions. After the child's brain receives the information sent back by the hand, it will be stimulated by the nerves to achieve rapid development.
The famous "Penfield Map" shows people the proportion of physical activities in brain areas. In other words, when a certain part of a person's body moves, the proportion of signal stimulation that the brain can receive.
And the movement of the hands can actually stimulate the motor areas of the brain /3 and stimulate the sensory areas of the brain /4. It can be said that the proportion is very large.
It is for this reason that the hand is called the "second brain". If parents want their children to become smarter, hand-related exercises are indispensable.
If you want your children to become smarter as they play, you need to exercise their fine hand movements.
Although the child's intelligence level is related to innate factors, acquired cultivation is also very important. The frequency of hand movements is a key factor affecting children's brain development.
We can find that if a child often likes to use his hands during his infant period, such as groping, reading books, doing fine movements, large movements, etc., then the child will behave smarter in the future.
Many parents think this is the result of their children being "well-informed", but in fact the most important thing is the result of their children's improved hands-on ability.
Hand movements cause nerve signals to increase , and the brain begins to become sensitive and active through constant stimulation of nerve signals, so it will develop better.
I have always been a parent who pays more attention to children's hand exercises, because I know that doing so can effectively help children's brains develop quickly, so that children can achieve better results in future studies.
And the facts have confirmed that the method I used is effective, because our children's scores have always been at the top of the grade since they went to school.
And during the school period, I did not sign up for cram schools or remedial classes, nor did I study questions or prepare materials. I just listened to the lectures in class and achieved such good results. Even the parents of my children's classmates did not believe that I did not "make a small fuss" for their children.
But this is really the case. It was only later that I reflected on my own education methods that I discovered that because children have received strong training on their hands since childhood, their brains develop better and their memory and learning are faster.
How should parents exercise their children's hand abilities in daily life?
There is a "special" way to exercise any part of the body, and so does hand exercise. If parents can use the correct exercise methods to train, they will get better results, and this is how I help my children exercise.
) Allow children to play with "mud"
We can see many jokes on the Internet: children are covered in mud, and netizens comment under the title "complete childhood".
Many people think that such behavior is "nostalgic" and reminds them of their childhood, but people don't know that playing with water, soil, sand, etc. is actually very beneficial to children's hand development.
Water, sand, and the "sand pits" of many children's amusement parks currently (mostly Cassia seeds , etc.) are all highly encapsulating substances. When children play, the touch of their hands is very rich. The entire palm and back of the child's hand will be comprehensively stimulated by the physical properties of these substances.
and give different touch sensations to the hands, so that the child's hand nerves receive more different information , and these nerve stimulation information will allow the brain to develop better.
) Play with stickers with your children
Playing with "mud" is a kind of nerve stimulation for the hand, and playing with stickers is fine training. Because stickers can train children's hand movements, fine movements, coordination, strength, flexibility, etc. Although the entire sticker process is very simple, it has a huge impact on children.
I usually use this set of "Concentration Stickers" to play with my children. The book contains 6 different scenes and comes with 3080 exquisite stickers. Its game design is more in line with children's developmental characteristics. The collection covers language, mathematics, creativity and other topics and contains a large number of physical images. integrates games, hand exercises, thinking exercises, cognitive enhancement, etc. so that children's hands and brains can be better exercised.
When I was playing with this set of sticker books, I actually only guided the children in the most basic operations, telling them "where are the stickers" and "how to paste the stickers in the corresponding positions", and then the children were able to operate it themselves very quickly.
Children will use their little hands to open the theme they like, then find the corresponding sticker from the corresponding sticker panel, carefully tear off the sticker, and then paste it in the corresponding position.
It's that simple, but the benefits for the children are many. Not only did I always have excellent grades in primary school, it also reduced the pressure on me to tutor my children, and I never got angry because of tutoring my children's homework.
written at the end
The famous educationist Suhomlinsky once said: A child's intellectual development is reflected on the fingertips. Therefore, parents should adopt an objective attitude towards children's hand training and use scientific methods to exercise their children's hands, so that their children will become smarter and better as they practice.
