Mind and intelligence games can increase children's IQ rates and their logical thinking and problem-solving skills. It is known that there are certain studies on this.
Children now have a life where they have iPads, iPhones and easy access to every aspect of technology. For this reason, their intelligence and consciousness development occurs very rapidly. They perceive everything in a very short time and can evaluate it differently. For this reason, the effects of mind and intelligence games on children's development are very different. This issue occupies a very important place in child development.
Every family wants their child to receive the best education. However, some studies may be insufficient when done only at school. Parents who want to reveal their children's current capacity and develop different skills can easily benefit from mind and intelligence games while taking care of their children. Thus, they can safely develop their children's memory, strategic thinking, visual intelligence, logical thinking, innovative thinking and behavioral skills with different mind and intelligence games. According to a study conducted at Berkeley University, having children play various mind and intelligence games for an hour and fifteen minutes twice a week resulted in a 13-point increase in their IQ scores. Children's ability to think more logically increased by 32 percent. (one)
Thanks to intelligence games, it is possible for children's brains to achieve high performance. In this way, they can make more logical and accurate decisions. Thanks to intelligence games, children's comprehension, subconscious factor recognition and understanding skills can be accelerated. While stating this, it is also necessary to say this. Brain games should sometimes be played alone and sometimes with a group. In both ways, its effect on intelligence development is extremely high. Of course, sometimes it is more useful to play individually and sometimes in a group. It has been observed that it is more effective this way. (2)
So, what kind of responsibilities do the family have while the child's brain develops through intelligence and mind games? Thanks to mind and intelligence games, families can get to know their children better and discover their children's skills in different areas. Thus, families can guide their children more effectively and even engage in much more effective communication. While children's attention, focus and concentration increase with intelligence games, they become motivated and the parents can improve themselves together with the child. Her communication with her child improves and a more mutually understanding period begins.
Another importance of intelligence and mind games is that they always offer the child a more effective study method. In each different game, the child gets to know himself and learns to evaluate himself together with his peers. He recognizes and understands how to improve himself in every game. He also learns to control himself. In her book Parenting Without Borders, Christine Gorss Loh explains the importance of always encouraging children to do activities that they can do better. For example, Japanese parents wrote that they attach importance to such mind and intelligence games and that they always encourage them to do better in cases where the child cannot do it or evaluates himself with his peers. According to Loh, it is no coincidence that the Japanese are the hardest-working people. With these methods, they can raise a society that can work more efficiently and think more effectively. (3)
That's why it's important to encourage the child to do better. Mind and intelligence games also stand out as one of the frequently used methods in this regard. Intelligence games also increase children's future prediction and projection skills. In this case, the child makes better choices regarding education and learning life. He's making better friends.
Another important effect is that the child's ability to see the whole rather than getting lost in the details increases. Children, especially in our country, can get lost in many exams and success criteria, but in fact, the goal is one and the same. This goal is ultimate success and achieving the desired education and living the desired life. It is very important to stay within this whole. For this reason, your child's brain, supported by intelligence and mind games, will grasp such skills more easily and in a shorter time.
