Parents prefer to train their children to read, count, recite children's songs and recite Tang poems. In their early training. However, if the child is not focused, he can't remember what you have taught, and he can't sit down and listen carefully. So parents should pay attention to cultivating their children's concentration. Psychologists' research shows that attention is related to vestibular balance. Vestibular organ is an important organ in the brain, which controls human gravity (gravity of the earth) and sense of balance. The sense of gravity, the judgment of the relationship between the body and the environment, the control of the body balance, the correct grasp of the sense of direction and distance, and turning, climbing, sitting, standing and running are all related to the vestibular organs. The performance of children with vestibular balance dysfunction: swaying from side to side, unclear sense of direction, often stumbling, like to climb high, run in circles, not dizzy, afraid of walking on the balance beam and so on. Fidgeting in school, inattention, inattention in class, like to play tricks, impetuous, irritable, lack of self-confidence. They are more likely to give their parents trouble than ordinary children, and they are very picky. It is difficult for them to share happiness with others, and they are unwilling to share toys and food with others, let alone consider the needs of others. Some children may also have language development retardation, speaking late, language expression difficulties and so on. Some children can't learn by themselves, which also affects classroom discipline and makes teachers feel very headache. The causes of vestibular balance dysfunction include abnormal fetal position, insufficient early activity, insufficient crawling, and premature use of walkers for a long time. The training of children's vestibular balance function should start from pregnancy. In the first three months, the fetus mainly develops the nervous system of the brain, but at this time, in order to protect the nervous tension of the fetus, mothers rarely move, and some pregnant women have to lie in bed for several months. In fact, pregnant women should exercise properly throughout pregnancy, such as walking and doing some housework. After the child is born and comes home, he can do training such as prone head-up and head-up for a few seconds every day. Shake the child properly and don't always let the child lie in bed and look at the ceiling. Children are trained to turn over for three months, sit for six months and climb for seven or eight months. According to the survey, many children now learn to walk without climbing. Psychologists have found that adequate crawling training is closely related to children's attention, motor coordination and language ability. Therefore, parents should not use walkers for their children too early, nor should they go beyond the crawling stage. 12 months, began to train children to walk, and then gradually trained to run, jump, jump on one leg, walk on the balance beam, sit on the slide, jump rope, racket ball and play spinning games. I especially like to play with rotating benches and chairs, so I won't faint. I like running in circles, and I won't feel dizzy or tired. Although I saw it, I often collided with tables and chairs, others, columns and door walls. The movements of both hands are poorly coordinated, and they often forget each other. Clumsy hands and feet, easy to fall when lying on the floor or bed, difficult to raise head, chest and neck. Climbing up and down, running in and out, not listening to dissuasion. If you don't move, touch the east and touch the west, and don't listen to dissuasion, the punishment will be invalid. Like to provoke others and play pranks. I often talk to myself, repeat what others say, and like to recite advertising terms. Use both hands, not fixed which hand to use. I can't tell the left and right directions, and my shoes and clothes are often worn backwards. In a strange place, I dare not sit or move slowly on the elevator or stairs. Poor organizational skills, often throwing things around, do not like to clean up their own environment.
