All the parents want their babies to be smart and lovely. However, some errors of parenting can even endanger the intelligent development of babies. Three errors will be explained here to help parents correct the mistakes. 

Many parents think that the growth of babies is very rapid and babies should eat a lot of eggs and meat to maintain the normal growth, which is the first error. It can not be denied that meat and eggs contain abundant high-quality protein which is one of the essential nutrients needed by the babies to maintain the development of the brain. However, the excessive intake of eggs and meat can affect the intelligent development. Both eggs and meat are acidic foods. According to the dietitians, the excessive intake of acidic foods can make the human blood acidic and cause the acidic physical constitution. The acidic physical constitution can decrease the immunity and affect the normal development of the brain. Therefore, parents should provide the balanced collocation of acidic foods and alkaline foods for their children.

The second error is that many parents let children each too much at dinner. Many parents like to provide lots of foods for their children. However, the excessive intake of foods can force a large amount of blood to stay in the gastric and intestinal tracts to cause ischemia and anoxia in the brain. The intelligent growth can be finally affected. What’s more, the satiation can also thicken the vascular wall to diminish the blood vessels and decrease the blood supply for the brain. The ischemia and anoxia of the brain can make the brain tissues become vestigial. The risk of getting senile dementia can be increased.

The third error is to provide too much bean curd for babies. Parents think that bean curd contains high-quality vegetable protein without any cholesterol and it is very suitable for babies to eat. In fact, babies should not eat bean curd excessively. Although bean curd contains high-quality vegetable protein, the excessive intake can cause the body to excrete iron and iodine. The lack of iron and iodine can seriously affect the intelligent growth of children. In addition, bean curd does not contain a kind of amino acid which can improve the absorption of protein. Therefore, it is necessary to eat bean curd and other foods like eggs and meat at the same time to accelerate the absorption of protein.

At the same time, parents should help their children prevent obesity, as obesity can also affect the development of the brain. In short, it is necessary for parents to adjust the dietary structure for their children so as to maintain the normal intelligent growth.
