Question
Is there a connection between a child’s intelligence age and growth development?
Answer
Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is calculated as the ratio of Mental Age (MA) to Chronological Age (CA) multiplied by 100. The Growth and Development Quotient is an important indicator used to assess the mental development of infants and young children, covering aspects such as gross motor skills, fine motor skills, cognition, emotions, and social development. Therefore, both intelligence age and growth and development quotient are related to IQ. However, some children may have a slower growth and development, at which point parents should guide and encourage them, such as teaching arithmetic and pinyin, and giving them confidence to believe they can catch up with their classmates.
