Getting close to nature and making babies love the natural environment can inspire their intelligence in many aspects.
1. Inspire the baby's ability to observe, promote sensory stimulation and cognitive development
Letting the baby feel the nature is helpful for the sensory stimulation and cognitive development of the baby as well as his/her curiosity about things; at the same time, it can inspire the baby's ability to observe and recognize and classify various plants and animals.
2. Deepen the understanding of certain things
Many parents pay great attention to early education. Babies are taught to recite Tang poems and Song lyrics before they reach 2 years old. However, children's living circle is very small and their understanding ability is limited. They may know the characters for "mountain", "river", "lake", and "sea", but do not know what they really are because they lack perceptual knowledge. Pointing out the scenery and giving appropriate explanations while traveling with the baby can let the baby gain perceptual knowledge and make a leap towards rational knowledge.
3. Expand knowledge
Part of our knowledge comes from learning, while another part needs to be obtained through contact with nature, living environment, and people. Nature is an endless treasure house of knowledge and a good teacher and friend for children. Parents should let children get closer to nature more often so that they can learn knowledge, broaden their horizons, and develop aesthetics. It also helps babies perceive nature and ecological environment, and come into contact with people and things beyond family members, thus expanding their knowledge.
4. Getting close to nature is an effective way of physical exercise
Taking the baby on an outing and getting close to nature, breathing fresh air, is a positive and effective way of physical exercise. Letting the baby walk and run can increase lung capacity and enhance muscle vitality. Some parents are afraid that the baby will get tired, so they prefer to take the car or carry the baby on their back or hold them in their arms, which reduces the exercise time, intensity, and effect. Generally speaking, when the baby grows up to 2-3 years old, their foot strength is already quite good. When they get tired from running, they know how to stop and ask their parents for help, or even take a nap, and soon they will be full of energy again.
5. Improve the baby's self-care ability
When preparing for an outing, you might as well let the baby participate in the preparation work. The advantage of doing so is: letting the baby participate in the preparation not only improves the baby's interest in going out but also makes the baby understand what essential items should be brought for outdoor travel. In addition, it can cultivate the baby's good habit of tidying up things. After a few trips, the baby gains experience and will remind us not to forget to bring something, which is equivalent to having an additional memory bank. It has many benefits and no harm, why not do it?
Getting close to nature can inspire the intelligence of the baby. You just need to pay attention to the lively situation of children in the outdoors. You can see that in parks and zoos, children will observe with great surprise and look at all kinds of new things with great interest: green trees, grass, red flowers... pandas, elephants, tigers, lions... All these are stimuli that cannot be obtained by simply staying at home, and they are all greatly beneficial to the intellectual development of children.
