Even if you do not trust horoscopes and other palmistry, we still recommend that you familiarize yourself with fortune-telling in science. Although this fortune-telling does not give an answer, how to Capricorns to avoid monetary problems on Tuesday, but it is more true: scientists checked. In addition, a parent who knows where to look for signs will not miss the words “Bo-bo! hehe! ”(Higgs Boson) and equip a rich educational environment at home. Just in case. To make the sign work.
For a long time, mankind has been tormented by the question: how to become at least a little calmer for the future of a child. Previously, a suitable conspiracy removed all problems, but now there is little hope for it: only special conspiracies from professional tutors are suitable.
Finally, the hope came from science. Now, looking at the kinky head of a kindergartener, you will experience at least some confidence in the future.
This is what testifies to the future academic success of the child.
1. Infant studies new faces for a long time
In the 1980s, Joseph F. Fagan, a psychologist at the University of Cleveland, developed a test for infants. Children under the age of six months were invited to consider a series of photographs: at first a pair of identical faces, then one old and the other completely new. Researchers have noticed the time that the baby spends looking at an unfamiliar face. It turned out that the results of this simple test correlated well with the IQ score that children scored on admission to school. Scientists have connected this with the interest of an inquiring mind in novelty: the more intelligent you are, the more interesting you are. Even this uncle with a ridiculous mustache.
2. The child forms motor skills early
An American study published in 2016 focused on the development of nearly six hundred children from New York State. Scientists took advantage of mothers' reports: each parent sent messages to scientists when her baby first sat down without support, crawled for the first time, got on his feet and walked on his own. It would seem nonsense, but it suddenly turned out that there was a pattern between the development of motor skills and scores in cognitive tests (they were done when the children were four years old): the earlier a person got himself into a horizontal position, the better he passed the test at a respectable age of four of the year.
3. The child develops speech early
One of the authors of a study at Florida State University praises his research work: "This article provides exciting data that confirms the early and reliable relationship between speech production and future literacy skills." Let not everyone find this data exciting, but scientists believe that they made a breakthrough. When working with nine children from 9 to 30 months, they carefully listened to infant babble. This was revealed: the harder it was to babble babbling, the easier it was for the same children to identify letters at the age of 6 and generally feel more confident among the letters.
Another study conducted at Washington University focused on kindergarten children. Specialists evaluated a bunch of parameters, including attention skills, health status, ability to count, and then studied what best predicted good grades at school. The undisputed winner was the knowledge of the language: the ability to speak one’s native language quite clearly predicted performance not only in this subject area, but also in most others.
By the way, speaking of language, scientists do not mean reading. First of all, we are talking about the ability to use a large number of words, complex syntax and interesting grammatical constructions. The ability to be friends with the language will give a person a head start in all scientific fields, even those where everyone just writes some numbers.
4. The house has a talking adult, as well as a bunch of books and educational toys
Researchers from the University of New York persistently visited more than two thousand families. They began their visits when the children were 14 months old and did not stop observing in the next ten years. At school age, cognitive skills, problem solving skills, and even vocabulary were measured in children. It turned out that a rich environment makes children smarter: the more books, designers, materials for creativity and other things that you have to stuff into cabinets all the time, the more beneficial it is for the child. One of the most important elements of the developmental environment is the high-quality interaction with a close adult: this loved one responds to the needs of the child, tells something, marks surrounding objects, and occasionally plays nearby on a xylophone.
5. The child shows curiosity
For a long time, zeal was considered the key to academic achievement. Scientists from the University of Texas at Austin are breaking this assertion to pieces. To do this, they needed more than a thousand twins from 8 to 14 years old. After analyzing all the data, the researchers found that a penchant for mathematics and a love of literature are tied to curiosity and confidence, and good faith has nothing to do with it. Obviously, the curious Barbara - the one who was unlucky in the bazaar - had only five in the main subjects.
6. You praise your child for his efforts and efforts
A group of American scientists, among whom was Professor Carol Duque (a popularizer of "thinking on growth", the author of the book "Flexible Consciousness. A New Look at the Psychology of Children and Adults"), studied the influence of kind words of dad and mom on children's performance. The moment in which the parent tells the three-year-old baby, “Great! You did it! ”, Is fatal even after years when the child is studying in the beginning. The correct praise, as it turned out, is not without reason that it predicts children's academic performance in mathematics and reading: it forms children's beliefs, makes them look at their mind as a thing that only increases from complex tasks.
7. Your child can arrange in the sandbox
In another study, psychologists linked the probability of graduating from college and scores for social competence. The kindergarten teachers evaluated this very competence, observing how the child plays, how he interacts with his comrades in tights, how he quarrels over a truck. Psychologists had to wait 19 years before those points for social skills and emotional intelligence shot. And so it happened: with every additional point for “communication” from the teacher, the person immediately doubled the probability of graduating from college.
8. A child before school tried to write and count
A 2007 study from Northwestern University sponsors school preparation courses. They studied the level of knowledge and behavior of children at the age of five, and then tracked their performance between 7 and 14 years. According to reports, early acquaintance with letters and numbers was somehow miraculously connected with the fives years later. Behavior at the same time turned out to be not so significant, psychologists added, brushing off chewing paper.
9. Do you believe in your child and speak with him as an equal
It turns out that mom’s high expectations regarding her child’s education are something that cannot be ignored, and which researchers take into account, among other factors, explaining academic achievement. A recent study from the Massachusetts University of Technology adds importance to respecting minors. It turns out that the way a parent talks to a child directly affects the development of speech centers in his brain. At the same time, it’s important not the number and complexity of the words that are streaming onto the child, but how much the adult is ready to listen to the interlocutor: the more communicative moves in conversation with the preschooler — the alternate remarks — the stronger the activity of neurons in the cerebral cortex, in the Broca area - that part which is responsible for processing speech signals.
And now, when we have pumped up language skills, established a trusting atmosphere at home, and most importantly, we talked interestingly about spiders - maybe, well, them, these academic successes? Why remember this when such grace is around?
