In the eyes of many elderly people, if a baby's head is larger than that of their peers, it means that the baby with a larger head is smarter. Because of this, many mothers are more concerned about their babies' head circumference. So, is it true that babies with larger heads are smarter?
In fact, the claim that a baby's head is bigger makes them smarter is unfounded, and whether a baby is smart or not is not related to their head circumference. Usually, head circumference is just an indicator used to evaluate a baby's physical condition. There is a standard range for a baby's head circumference. The head circumference of babies of different ages varies. However, if the head circumference is within the normal range, it will be safer.
However, whether the head circumference is too large or too small is not good, as it may indicate abnormalities in the baby's head. Therefore, mothers should never think that having a big head means being smart. Many times, babies with big heads need to be vigilant. Because when a baby's head is relatively large, it may be caused by hydrocephalus or calcium deficiency, resulting in the formation of a square skull.
Additionally, some children are born with a relatively large head without any abnormalities. At this time, mothers need to go to the hospital for examination to understand the situation, so there is no need to worry too much. In fact, a baby's intelligence can be improved through postnatal efforts, such as early childhood education and personal effort. So, parents should provide early education for their babies after they are born, cultivating them to become smarter people.
