That your baby has grown wise and prudent, various psychologists and educators offer both modern methods and time-tested methods grandfather. There is another option - it seems that one of the most effective.
Why bilingual child will be smarter?
Children, with which early childhood speak two languagesThey have cognitive advantage over those babies who are accustomed to only one language.
Baby talk (even though it is very peculiar) for not consider language.
This means that children withbilingual better solve problems and tasks. Not that young children have a lot of problems, but such a skill to help them grow faster. This will come in handy in the future when the baby grows up.
How do we know?
Numerous studies show that people who speak several languages, have good developed system of communication between areas of the brain involved in the planning, analytical thinking and decision tasks.
But all this was just for adults only.
Now, scientists from the University of Washington conducted
experiment on kids whose age was 11 months. The study involved 16 children. Eight of them are brought up in families where they speak only in English. Eight more - in families where use both English and Spanish.It turned out that the brains of bilingual children to actively respond to the Spanish and English languages, starting process the phonetic information. And those kids who are accustomed only to the English, Spanish sounds are perceived as background noise.
This means that even before the child begins to speak, he is able to recognize it by ear.
More importantly, bilingual children in response to the Spanish or English language, demonstrated an unusual neurological reactions. Scientists have documented active prefrontal and orbitofrontal cortex - that is, those areas of the brain that are responsible for analytical skills and decision-making. But those kids who used to hear only one language, not in any way used these areas of the brain during the experimental time.
What does it mean?
When a child hears two languages, he learns to distinguish one from the other. This is the cognitive problems, which includes the work of the prefrontal and orbitofrontal cortex.
Kid using these areas of the brain is very active, and this work is developing analytical thinking and the ability to make decisions.
Therefore, bilingual children not only learn two languages from birth. Yet they quickly develop the ability to know the outside world and other cognitive skills.
Thus, those kids who are taught from childhood two languages, are a great advantage: they strengthen ties in areas of the brain necessary for flexible thinking and problem solving.
