Swimming Make High IQ Child


Encourage your child to swim. Although still a baby, no problem. In fact, the newborn was not going to sink if dicemplungin into the water.

Results of research in Melbourne, Australia, showed statistically IQ of children who are taught to swim as a baby higher than children who are not taught to swim or be taught to swim after age 5 years. The children were measured his IQ when they were aged 10 years. Not only that, the physical growth, emotional and social even better.

Other research has shown that babies are taught to swim more easily than adults, because babies have never had the X factor such danger. Is not the baby does not understand the danger? After all, babies love the water so that he too would like to be invited to swim. Well, this makes it easier to learn to swim.

In addition, the newborn until the age of 3 months can be directly nyemplung into the water without fear of drowning, because at that age, he has a lot of uses reflex step to swim. "Stepping reflex is a reflex that accompanies the baby as well as the grasping reflex and reflex walking," explained Dr. Karel Staa from Pondok Indah Hospital, who is also a former 200-meter record holder swimmer breaststroke in 1960-1962.

So, if we put the baby under 3 months of age in the water, it will automatically move their legs like a dog paddle, so do not drown. That said, at the age under 3 months of your baby can swim with primitive style. Not that after that age, babies can not swim anymore, lo.

Although reflexes had disappeared, he still can perform swimming movements, although not organized or disheveled. You see, with no gravity, he felt pressured from below the water so he could float. He was so happy. Especially since the mother's abdomen, the baby was also already swimming in amniotic fluid for 9 months.

After birth, the ability to swim just to stay upgraded. In fact, this swim was so popular, abroad until there is delivery process carried out in the water, lo. "Medically, this is not going to cause problems because it is a natural process." So, there's no reason to hesitate to invite your child to swim.

Must be safe

The important note, when swimming baby should feel secure and indeed there should be safety. So, parents should accompany. "If parents are both into the water and swim together with the baby, then in addition to feel safe, the baby can feel there is no response from parents," said Karel. Besides, with accompanying parents can also play with the baby so that there is interaction between people. "This is one of the benefits of swimming."

Just compare when the new baby learn to sit or walk, whether parents will accompany and perform the same movements continuously with the child? Kan, baseball. "Well, another swim. They both entered the water, swim together, so enjoy its flavor more. It will be useful for the psychological development of children." That is why, the parents should come with playing in the water. Of course, swimming is also useful for growth.

"Motor develops more rapidly than he was just playing on the floor." Is not the swim, all the muscle work? Now, if on the floor, only certain muscles are working. Especially if the mother gives the baby so the baby walker so used to walking with it. Finally, muscle movements become limited because only certain muscles are working.
