Question
Hello, my child has cognitive issues and is developing slowly. How should we treat it effectively?
Answer
Slow cognitive development in children indicates that, compared to their peers, children may be significantly behind in certain or many aspects of development. This is mainly manifested in abnormal motor, language, and behavioral skills, which may be related to intrauterine hypoxia during pregnancy or medication taken during pregnancy, or even genetics. It is necessary to take the child to a regular hospital’s health department for formal cognitive testing. The doctor will determine which type of developmental delay the child falls into and formulate educational recommendations and improvement plans accordingly. You can also play games with your child to enhance cognitive development, or go to the rehabilitation department for regular rehabilitation training.
