Infant Stimulation of Multiple Intelligences



Multiple Intelligences are a different kind of intelligence that can be developed in children. Intelligence include verbal-linguistic (ability to decipher the mind in sentences, presentations, speeches, discussions, writing), logical-mathematical (logical-mathematical ability to use in solving various problems), visual spatial (three-dimensional thinking ability), bodily -kinaesthetic (movement skills, dance, sports), musical (sensitivity and ability of expression with sounds, tones, melodies, rhythms), intra personal (the ability to understand and control yourself), interpersonal (the ability to understand and adapt to the others), naturalist (the ability to understand and utilize the environment).

Multiple intelligences are influenced by heredity or congenital and genetic and environmental factors. A child can develop a variety of intelligence if you have hereditary factors and stimulated by the environment continuously. Fetal brain cells formed since 3-4 months in the mother's womb, and after birth until the age of 3-4 years the numbers grew rapidly, reaching billions of cells, but no relationship between these cells. Nerve cells of the brain in infants growing very rapidly.

It can be seen from the addition of brain weight or head circumference of infants. When a baby is born, it weighs about 25 percent of the adult brain. A year later at the age of severity has reached 70 percent of adults aged brain. The process of brain development takes place very rapidly until 3 years old toddler.

After this, the process will be slowed down, either during school age and adolescence. Began 6 months of pregnancy, established relationships between cells, thus forming a series of functions. Quality and complexity of the set of relationships between brain cells is determined by environmental stimulation performed by the toddler.

Given the very limited time, parents should use it well, namely by providing stimulation as much as possible early on. Stimulation provided at this time, is very effective to optimize the intelligence of a toddler. Conversely, the less stimulation will affect intelligence in toddlers.

However, the development of brain circuitry depends heavily on the quality of nutrition and stimulation obtained by toddlers, in the womb, until three years after he was born. The more varied stimulation received infant-toddler, the more complex the relationship between brain cells. The more frequent and regular stimulation received, the stronger the relationship between the brain cells. The more complex and powerful relationships between brain cells, the higher and varying intelligence of children in the future. When developed over time, the child will have a lot of variation in intelligence.

In general, stimulation of intelligence intervention in infants should be arranged so that the baby can experience a sense of comfort, safety and fun with hugging, holding, baby eyes, inviting smile, talk, sounding alternately various sounds or music. Bolsters the baby to the right-left, prone-supine, stimulated to grab and hold toys.

Stimulation should be done as often as possible for interacting with the baby. Should be done every day, continuous, varied, adjusted for age progression ability, performed by anyone who interacts well with the family, especially baby mother or caregiver. Stimulation should be done in an atmosphere of fun and excitement among caregivers.

Do not give stimulation to the rush-rush, overbearing mother or caregiver, do not pay attention to interest or desire a baby, or the baby is sleepy, bored or want to play something else. Mothers or caregivers, who are often angry, bored, annoyed, and then unwittingly give it negative emotional stimuli. Because in principle all the words, attitudes and actions of the mother or caregiver is a stimulation were recorded, remembered and will be imitated or just cause fear toddler.
