Children are always curious
Children who are curious and dissatisfied with following ordinary standards often demonstrate high intelligence. For example, a boy who was given coloring pens by his mother but instead chose to mix colors himself instead of using ready-made colors.
Interest in exploration and asking thousands of “why” questions can be a sign of intelligence. Curiosity is the driving force behind cognitive development, improving attention, memory, and problem-solving skills.
Parents should encourage and support their children’s curiosity by providing detailed and evidence-based answers instead of limiting them. When faced with difficulties in explaining, parents can search for information on Google to reinforce their answers.
Children have good practical skills
Children with good practical thinking often show great interest in objects and technical structures. For example, a child who has the ability to dismantle and repair a bicycle skillfully not only develops practical skills but also improves spatial understanding and logical thinking. Such manual activities are closely linked to hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and spatial understanding.
In daily activities, children should be encouraged to participate in more hands-on and interactive activities. Although this may disrupt the order of the house and require parents to spend time cleaning up, the experiences and comprehensive development that children receive are completely worthwhile.
Good language expression skills
Children’s ability to communicate through speech is not only instinctual but also a sign of brain development. Language ability is a fundamental basis for intellectual development. From birth, children learn to communicate by observing and imitating those around them, gradually building vocabulary and sentence structures to eventually have effective communication skills.
Children can express themselves fluently, demonstrating quick thinking, quick reactions, and a vivid imagination. These qualities require a developed brain with information processing, memory, and logical thinking abilities. Clarity in expressing thoughts and emotions through language demonstrates maturity in core cognitive aspects.
Therefore, a child’s fluent storytelling ability not only shows talent in speaking but also serves as evidence of intellectual development, with a profound impact on the learning and communication processes as well as the overall development of the child.
Good social skills and easy to make friends
Children with good social skills and the ability to make friends easily often demonstrate high intellectual development. These social skills reflect maturity in aspects such as awareness, emotional management, cooperation, and communication. Children who are comfortable and confident in social communication often feel safe and have less fear or anxiety when interacting with others.
Children with high social skills also tend to have good emotional control, not easily doubting or reacting impulsively. Moreover, in social relationships, they have the ability to understand and respond to the emotions and intentions of others appropriately.
Therefore, children who enjoy communicating and feel comfortable in communication often demonstrate high emotional intelligence, an important factor in overall intelligence.
