Besides the health condition of the baby, the most concerned thing for a mother is also the intelligence of the baby. There is no mother who does not want her baby to be smart and clever. But to understand whether a baby's intelligence is normal, it requires careful observation to understand their high intelligence performance in the second half of the year.
Half year old babies are already able to communicate with their mothers. If their mothers tease them when they are unhappy, the baby will stare at their mothers with their eyes and be attracted by their teasing, causing them to laugh. If a baby is completely indifferent to their mother's teasing and doesn't even know how to communicate emotions with her through their eyes, it means that their intelligence is abnormal and needs to be taken seriously.
At this stage, babies will like to imitate. For example, when a mother is making a phone call with her phone, the baby will imitate and place their little hand in their ear as if it were a phone. When the mother sings and dances, the baby will also extend their small hands to sway and imitate the mother's dance movements, which are all normal manifestations of the baby's intellectual development.
The development of gross motor skills in a half year old baby can also reflect whether their intelligence is normal. At this point, the baby can sit alone and persist for a period of time. If the mother reaches out to hold the baby, the baby will stretch out their arms and actively greet them. If the baby cannot sit alone and their body control is not very flexible, it indicates that their intelligence is also problematic.
