Below are the signs that show a child has a high IQ. What parents should do is understand and guide their children, while giving them lots of love and companionship, instead of arbitrarily blaming and hindering them.
The child has excellent memory
The child remembers where toys are stored or quickly recognizes familiar faces and places, certain details… showing that your child is very intelligent. This makes the child develop a psychological attachment to their mother, grandmother, and fear strangers. Or if the child is holding an object and the mother takes it, the child cries and knows how to ask for it from as early as 5-6 months, and by 10-11 months, they can even flip a blanket to find their mother’s hidden belongings, demonstrating a very good memory.
Talking to oneself
The University of Pennsylvania (USA) has conducted a study that shows that language is a communication system, and at the same time, it is a means to enhance cognition and thinking, whether in children or the elderly. Therefore, when a child is communicating with their own thoughts, it shows that the child’s expressive ability is quite high and their brain has flexible thinking.
According to the same study, talking to oneself helps the child clarify their own thoughts and orientate what is important, helping the child make more effective decisions. From this action, the child will know what is necessary for themselves.
Communicating with oneself does not mean that the child has a nervous problem, but it is a solution for the child to develop thinking ability and cognition, as well as help the child find many other new ideas.
Sucking fingers
Children under 2 years old usually have a habit of sucking their fingers. However, many parents worry that their children will swallow bacteria and viruses on their hands, so they often prohibit them.
In fact, the fact that children at this age like to suck their fingers is not bad, but good. The brain of children at this age needs more stimulation. The child putting their hand into their mouth accurately also shows the development of sensory and motor systems, and is an important milestone in the developmental process. In addition, sucking fingers is also a way for children to comfort themselves emotionally, beneficial for the development of self-awareness. However, if a child is still sucking their fingers after the age of 3, parents need to correct it.
Enjoy asking questions
Many 3 to 4-year-old children like to ask questions about everything around them. When they can’t find a satisfactory answer, they will find the answer for themselves. This shows that the child is always in a state of thinking and deep thinking, and their brain works very flexibly.
Ages 3 to 6 are also the period when a child’s brain develops the most. Children with high IQ at this age will demonstrate unusual curiosity and a passion for exploration.
Children often ask strange questions and sometimes make their parents uncomfortable or angry. They are curious and like to build their own world by searching, assembling small objects.
They have clear preferences
You can identify preschool children’s talents if they have a specific talent such as artistic ability or an interest in numbers. Generally, children who like “solving puzzles and brain teasers” tend to be smarter.
Not liking to wear shoes
Many children under the age of 3 are loyal followers of barefoot walking, whether it’s winter or summer. Many parents worry that their children will catch a cold and try to make them wear socks and shoes, but turning around, they see their children running barefoot.
The foot is a motor organ, which gathers 6 vasculatures, 66 acupuncture points, and is the focal point of many nerves. Therefore, when children walk barefoot on the ground or step on stones, it can have the effect of massaging and stimulating the nerves. In addition, changes in temperature, the shape of the contact surface… can bring different sensations to children, stimulating comprehensive brain development.
Moreover, the sole of the foot concentrates thick sweat glands, which is the body’s temperature regulation system for children, although it is not complete yet. Therefore, letting children walk barefoot also helps cool the soles of their feet, increase blood circulation, reduce the phenomenon of cold hands and feet. When the body’s blood circulation is enhanced, the metabolic process and the child’s immune system can also be improved.
Connecting information logically
When adults see someone turning on the oven, they can infer that the person is preparing to bake something, and they are not surprised when they are offered warm cookies afterwards.
This is formed when you have witnessed someone baking countless cookies, but even if a child has never seen cookies before, they can still recognize that it is the end result of a process that starts when you turn on the oven.
Stare at something intently
Has your child ever stared at a spot or an object? If so, it is a sign that your child has the ability to concentrate and think deeply. Bright children usually start to perceive and pay attention to the things and events around them from a very young age.
