You might think that success is related to both genetics and environment. Of course, you are right in this view, but there is something else you need to know. A study from Harvard University revealed that children born in certain months of the year could be more successful in the long run.
Moreover, there is a quite logical explanation for this.
A study conducted at Harvard University revealed that children born especially in October, November, and December could be more successful in the long run. It was found that these children could be more skilled in demonstrating their cognitive abilities.
But why?
The birth months of children have nothing to do with being 'astrologically' intelligent. On the contrary, children born in these months usually start their educational life a year younger than their peers, making them more resilient, adaptable, and intelligent in their educational life. This, in turn, ensures the long-term success of children born in October, November, and December.
The research reveals that this tiny age difference is not very significant in adulthood, but it creates a huge gap in terms of neurological maturity, attention span, and motor skills in early childhood. Children born in October, November, and December are constantly making 'extra efforts' to keep up with their more mature peers. This supports the child's problem-solving, creativity, and cognitive development, in short, it makes them 'smarter'.
At the same time, these children also show significant development in social and emotional skills. Children trying to fit into the group learn effective communication, empathy, and adaptation. Children struggling at these ages show a higher tolerance for disappointment, so they can take more risks and be more successful in adult life.
Harvard researchers underline that this result is not a 'fate', and many factors such as genetics, family environment, quality of education, and a healthy lifestyle are effective in intelligence. In summary, even if your child is not born in these months, encouraging their curiosity, instilling a love of learning, and of course, helping them reach their potential is the key to your child's long-term success.
