Child’s Intelligence

child's intelligenceThe question of whether a child has an intelligence that exceeds the average is often difficult to answer. For two reasons: because parents always see our son the best and because such “intelligence” could be due to stimulation strategies that popes used.

Given these observations, the most prudent course is to talk to the pediatrician that is the basis to see if the baby out of the expected parameters. Knowing the colors and repeat the alphabet is not enough to say he is very intelligent. One should ask certain things before making that observation.

For example, how are related groans and tears. In short, we could make a long list of questions, but we assume that from them, you will be others. If after this, and talk to the pediatrician, they conclude that the baby is “very” at all, talk to the psicopeda-goga to find the right strategies to make adequate Aixa evolution of his thinking and intelligence. And remember that high intellectual development requires an accompanying emotional development.

mother and babyYoung children come into the world healthy term should also be monitored closely, both in the maternity ward and later, when they come home, but rarely bilirubin values ​​imply a problem for them.

Specialists in this area, such as Newman and Maisels U.S. pediatricians, strongly protested because often subjected to light therapies babies just in case. And your complaints are reasonable because in their research, worldwide, only in cases were few and the consequences described above, even when bilirubin values ​​were well above 20 mg/dl.

These pediatricians insist on the negative aspects of therapy when they are not really essential, since they always involve a separation between mother and son at a particularly important, ie, when both are learning.

Often, breastfeeding is made difficult because the baby must be submitted for hours to light. An added inconvenience is that it must remain blindfolded because of the high light intensity and also that blood tests are very common and, of course, painful for the child. Parents, of course, suffer and are afraid to see her son under such conditions. This also means that admission is extended.

To alleviate these problems as possible in Bensberg, Germany, have installed a light therapy room where the mother can stay with your child. And this is what they see in the artwork. Hopefully many other centers will follow their example and in this as in other non-medical prime separation between babies and their mothers.
