Features: The Relationship Between Fetal Education and IQ
Many parents are very concerned about the impact of fetal education on a child's IQ, or some parents even regard making their child intelligent as the goal of fetal education. This idea is not wrong, but it is not comprehensive. It is undeniable that fetal education is an important method for achieving eugenics and will have a profound impact on a child's health and intelligence. In recent years, fetal education has gradually gained attention both domestically and internationally. Many research results have shown that infants who have received fetal education generally have a higher IQ than those who have not. Infants who have undergone fetal education training have a shorter dim period, faster intellectual development, stronger language skills, and more coordinated and agile movements. Generally speaking, starting from the fifth month of gestation, regular and timed sound and tactile stimuli should be applied to the fetus (including fetal education music, parents' language, affectionate speech, parents gently stroking or patting the fetus, etc.). After the fetus perceives these stimuli, it can promote the faster development of the sensory nerves and the cerebral cortex. Using the same sound stimuli on the fetus can induce initial superficial memory in the brain. By persisting with this for several months, the child will have more sensitive hearing and stronger memory after birth compared to average children. Additionally, with abundant nutrition and continuous early scientific education and training after birth, it is extremely beneficial for the child's brain development, especially for intellectual development. Scientific research shows that the division and proliferation of brain cells are mainly completed during the fetal period. There are two peak periods for its development: the first peak is from the second to the third month of pregnancy, and the second peak is from the seventh to the eighth month of pregnancy. If the fetus is appropriately supplied with rich material and spiritual nutrition during the peak periods of brain cell division and proliferation, the division of brain cells can reach its peak, laying the foundation for the child to have a high IQ. Surveys have shown that children who have received fetal education (including music fetal education and exercise fetal education, etc.) have a significant IQ advantage over those who have not. P16-17
