We often hear people say that children who have been crying since childhood will become very smart when they grow up. Some mothers are helpless when their children cry, and at this time, some older generations in the family will say this sentence. So, is this sentence meant to comfort mothers that children who love to cry and fuss from a young age are smart, or is it just the truth?
Is a child who loves to cry and fuss since childhood smart?
If a child is physically healthy and develops normally in all aspects, they will not cry or fuss. Whether a child is smart or not is not evaluated based on crying and fussing. It is important to teach and encourage children to be more active, as their intelligence is generally the same. Many novice mothers find the first three months of their baby too difficult to care for, often crying day and night. At this time, the elderly always come over to comfort, and crying children should be smarter. Crying is also good. So, every time when the child is howling, mothers comfort themselves like this, which is a good thing. Only children who say they cry are smart.
What is the factual basis for the intelligence of children who have been crying since childhood?
Researchers believe that this may be because "bad tempered" children often receive more care and attention at home, as it is the child's fault that parents have to give their children more care and love, thus subtly unlocking their intelligence. And those 'good tempered' children are often easily overlooked by their parents because they are well behaved, often alone, and their opportunities for dialogue or communication with adults are correspondingly reduced, resulting in intellectual disability due to being ignored. Actually, it's because there hasn't been much communication. For those well behaved children, parents should attach great importance to this and pay attention to increasing dialogue and communication with them as much as possible.
From this perspective, the claim that children who love to cry and fuss from a young age are intelligent has no scientific basis at all, it is just a comforting statement in people's mouths. If we want to explain from the basis of research, it can also be reluctantly explained that due to children's crying, parents have to provide more care and education, thus initiating intellectual development.
