According to Eastern feng shui, the date of birth is related to a person’s destiny. However, this is somewhat unclear in terms of science. Nevertheless, research from Harvard University based on statistics shows that children born in September and October have higher weight, height, intelligence, and IQ scores. The number of children who excel in their studies born in September and October is also higher than in other months.
The best American football players are mainly born in September and October, which surprises many people. A statistic from Fudan University in Shanghai, China, also shows that freshmen have more classmates born in October than in other months.
Why is this? Some factors may be related to explain why babies born in September and October have higher IQ scores:
– September and October births comply with the law of all phenomena’s development.
– Babies born in September or October have gestational periods usually falling in December or January, and thus the first three months of fetal development occur in the spring. Spring is a season of reproduction in nature, when fruit trees bloom and mothers feel more comfortable and happier. This may influence the development of the fetus, and the mother’s happiness and relaxation help the fetus develop better.
Next, the middle and later stages of the baby’s growth and development coincide with summer and fall. This is when the weather is hotter, and fruits and vegetables grow vigorously. Pregnant women eat more fruits and vegetables and are less prone to colds, which is beneficial for the baby’s development.
For babies born in September and October, crawling comes after June, which is during the summer, so children do not need to wear as many clothes and have easier movement, leading to better gross motor development. The development of gross motor skills in children is influenced by crawling. On the other hand, if a child starts crawling in winter, the cold will make them uncomfortable because they have to wear more clothes. Crawling development also stimulates the child’s brain.
Good crawling not only stimulates the brain but also helps children coordinate their bodies, develop their hands and feet, and improve the coordination between body parts and the brain.
Late school entry
Many American football players born in September and October later discovered that these players started school a bit later than their peers. Therefore, when choosing among classmates, they tend to develop better. The initial superiority leads them to be better trained to gradually achieve higher achievements than others.
Therefore, sending your child to school early is a disadvantage because they are younger and develop slower than their peers. Therefore, in the early stages, children will be more likely to be behind their peers. Typically, children born in September will start school the following year, making them “older” than other babies. Accordingly, these babies will develop better in terms of psychology and learning ability compared to other children in the class. Therefore, from an early age, they can start school confidently and have a good learning attitude. If they can maintain this, their chances of achieving high academic performance will be higher.
Statistics and some explanations above may show that children born in September and October have a practical basis to achieve higher achievements than children born in other months. However, most of us are not born in these two months. Therefore, fathers don’t have to worry if their child is born in another month. Most people have similar IQ scores, and it is said that the average global IQ score is 100.
Success is determined by many factors other than IQ and depends heavily on education. The family environment created by parents and the methods of educating children have a significant impact on intelligence. This means that IQ is not innate but rather a result of education, knowledge, and the environment. Therefore, parents can apply the following tips to help their children become smarter, regardless of the month they were born:
– From an early age, parents need to pay more attention to interacting and conversing with their children, guiding them to learn new knowledge, and teaching them life skills instead of focusing solely on academic knowledge.
– Encourage and create conditions for children to participate in activities such as reading, sports, music, painting, etc. to stimulate their brain development and imagination.
– Parents should always accompany their children, providing them with a joyful, happy, and healthy life to maximize their emotions and intelligence.
– Avoid sending children to school early just for the sake of achievements because an early childhood can be a shock and affect the child in the future.
