Swim, Can Make High IQ Children 

 

Encourage your child to swim. Although still in its infancy, no problem. In fact, the newborn was not going to sink when pushed into the water. The results of the study in Melbourne, Australia, showed, statistically, the IQ of children who are taught to swim as a baby, higher than children who are taught to swim after age 5 years. 
The children were measured IQ when they were 10 years old. Not only that, the growth of the physical, emotional, social and even better. Other studies have shown that babies taught to swim more easily than adults because babies have never had the X factor, such danger. Baby not yet understand the danger? 

 After all, babies love the water so he would love to be invited to swim. Well, this makes it so much easier to learn to swim. In addition, newborns up to 3 months of age can be directly plunging into the water without fear of drowning because at that age he has a lot of usefulness stepping reflex to swim. 

"Stepping reflex is a reflex that accompanies babies like grasping reflex and reflex walking," said Dr. Karel Staa, a former swimmer record holder in the 200 meters breaststroke 1960-1962. So, when we put the baby under the age of 3 months in the water, it will automatically move their legs like a dog paddle so do not drown.That said, at under 3 months of age your baby can swim with the primitive style.

Although reflexes had disappeared, he still can do the swim though 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 in the mother's womb, the baby was also already swimming in amniotic fluid for 9 months. After birth, the enhanced ability to swim lived alone. In fact, so popular is swimming, overseas until the birthing process is done in the water, you know. 

 "Medically, it will not cause any problems because it is a natural process." So there's no reason to hesitate to invite your child to swim. " 
Be safe 

 Its important to note, when swimming, baby to feel secure and there must be a safety. So, parents should accompany. "If parents were both in the water and swim together with the baby, then in addition to feel safe, the baby can feel no response from parents," said Karel. In addition to assisting parents, can also play with the baby so that no human interaction. "This is one advantage to swim." 
Just compare the new baby when learning to sit or walk, whether parents will assist and perform the same movements continuously with kids? Kan, baseball. "Well, another swim. They were both in the water, both swimming so enjoy its taste more. It will be useful to the psychological development of the child. "That is why, both parents should come together to play in the water. Course, swimming is also useful for growth. 

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