Getting close to nature and making babies love the natural environment can inspire their intelligence in many aspects.
First, it inspires the baby's ability to observe, promoting the development of sensory stimulation and cognition. Allowing babies to feel nature helps with the development of their sensory stimulation and cognition, as well as their curiosity about things. At the same time, it can inspire the baby's observational skills, helping them recognize and classify various plants and animals.
Second, it deepens the understanding of certain things. Many parents place great importance on early education, teaching their babies Tang poetry and Song lyrics before they reach 2 years old. However, children's life circles are small, and their understanding is limited. They may recognize words like "mountain", "river", "lake", and "sea", but don't know what these things really are because they lack experiential knowledge. Pointing out and explaining scenery while traveling allows babies to gain experiential knowledge and make a leap towards rational understanding.
Third, it broadens the scope of knowledge. A part of our knowledge comes from learning, while another part comes from contact with nature, living environments, and social interactions. Nature is an endless treasure trove of knowledge and a good teacher for children. Parents allowing children more contact with nature enables them to learn knowledge, broaden their horizons, develop aesthetic sense, perceive nature and ecological environment, interact with people outside of family, and expand their knowledge base.
Fourth, getting close to nature is an effective form of physical exercise. Taking babies on trips, closely interacting with nature, and breathing fresh air is a positive and effective way of physical exercise. Letting babies walk and run around can increase lung capacity and enhance muscle vitality. Some parents prefer carrying their babies or using vehicles to avoid tiring them, reducing exercise time and intensity, and lowering the effectiveness. Generally speaking, by the age of 2-3, babies have good foot strength and know when to stop and ask for help after running, or even take a nap to quickly regain energy.
Fifth, it improves the baby's self-care ability. When preparing for travel, let the baby participate in the preparations. The benefits include: increasing the baby's interest in travel and letting them understand which essential items should be brought along. Additionally, it cultivates the baby's habit of organizing items. After a few trips, the baby gains experience and will remind you not to forget certain things, acting as an extra memory bank. There are countless benefits and no harm, so why not do it?
Getting close to nature can inspire a baby's intelligence. Just by observing children's lively behavior outdoors, one can see this. In parks and zoos, children will curiously observe and enthusiastically focus on all new and interesting things: green trees, grass, red flowers... pandas, elephants, tigers, lions... All of these stimuli cannot be obtained simply by staying at home and will greatly benefit the intellectual development of children.
