Storytelling Increasing
Your Child’s Intelligence
William
Lewis Stern (1871 – 1938), a German psychologist and philosopher who noted as a pioneer in the field of
the psychology of personality and intelligence, said that intelligence is the awareness of individuals to adjust his mind to requirements or new
demands. A Britain psychologist Charles Edward Spearman (1863 – 1945) argued
that intelligence consists of two abilities related to intellectual tasks and
solve problems. By these opinions we can take conclusion that person’s ability
to adapt and solve new problems is called intelligence.
Intelligence is not only the IQ, but includes the pieces
ability which located in the different parts of the brain. Intelligence is not
static or permanent since the birth. A Swiss psychologist and philosopher Jean
Piaget (1896 – 1980) conduct research on intellectual development of children
from birth to adulthood, then, he divided the development into four stages.
Sensory motor stage: in this stage children can make connections between
sensory and their motor activity, the child began to distinguish themselves
from the reality outside theirselves. Pre-operational stage: children begin to
use language and can make the objects in the form of symbols, both in thought
and word. In this stage children are very selfish, do not care about other
people. Concrete operational stage: children begin to think logically and know
the concept. And the last is formal operational stage.
The brain is a very complex organ, because all our
bodies and our movements are controlled by the brain. Brain moves based on the
mind, whereas the brain and the mind is very different. The brain is the real
object, but the mind is abstract objects. Even so, the brain and mind is always
cooperate. Brain consists of several parts:
a.
Big brain, the back as the
center of vision, side as the auditory center, the center as a regulator of
skin and muscle from heat, cold, touch, and pressure. Between the middle and
back as the development center of intelligence, memory, skills, and attitudes.
b.
Midbrain (lobus optikus)
is the center reflex of eye.
c.
Littlebrain (cerebellum)
is the center of balance. There is a varol bridge in the front of the
cerebellum as the channeling impulses to
the left and right of muscles of body.
d.
Modula obloganta containing many brain ganglion and become central regulator reflex
movement of cardiac, breathing, dilation and constriction of blood vessels.
Childhood is the golden age of brain development. Basically, thought processes related with the brain
development. Brain development in preschoolers is not as good as the previous
period. But it still requires adequate stimulation so child's brain function
can develop maximum. Of course, it requires appropriate stimulation of physical
and mental readiness of children.
Right brain
and left brain have different functions, and it is determined by the mental
activity proceeds in each hemisphere of the brain. The left hemisphere
controls the intellectual functions: memory, language, logic, counting,
sorting, classification, writing, memorization, and analysis. The right
hemisphere controls the mental functions: intuition, emotion, visual, music,
rhythm, and art. Left and right brain are not hostile, they cooperation
continuously. Typically, a creative person tends wearing the right hemisphere.
A logical person tends wearing the left hemisphere. Therefor, if you want your
child be creative, you have to optimize their right brain function early.
Storytelling is a tell
activity about story which usually told in childhood. The ability to tell
stories is one of the advantages of human. Maybe, storytelling activities have
done since antiquity. It was done as a means to pass on skills for survival.
Fairy tales presented by the hunters for their children certainly different
from the tale of the farmers or the
ranchers. Thus, since long time ago, humans realized that they have ability of
theory and practice. Hunting techniques, for example, described in words before
the child invited hunting directly. Compared with the kittens, though
instinctively already have the ability to hunt a mouse, but they should see
their mother pounced on a mouse directly.
Cat never give a teory to hunt a mouse.
When my father told me about the adventure of Old
Shaterhand—Karl May’s book—I imagined the character of the cowboy and his close friend, Winnetou. I
am very pleased. I imagined how they were crawling in the bushes approaching
enemy. I imagined the dense forest full of trees and animals. Or, I imagined a
hunting field like my father’s story.
Indeed, I fantasize as if I was the
character of the story. When a girls listening the story of Cinderella, they will
dream as Cinderella who will meet the prince. They can be sad or happy, depending
on the content of the story.
In the elementary school, first grade and second grade,
I was taught by the same teacher, Mr. Sri Suhardi. He was very good on story
telling. In fact, I got Cinderella story from him, because my father preferred
to tell the local stories (Indonesia). Every week there was a new story from
Mr. Sri. Compared with the other teachers, I and my friends had more emotional closeness with Mr. Sri. He
also taught us to sing the children’s songs. We remembering him as a favorite
teacher.
Storytelling is very important. Kak Seto, an expert in
child psychology from Indonesia, reminding the importance of storytelling,
sightseeing, and sing in the child development. Children must listen story to
grow their imagination. Children must be sharpened their conscience, mind, and feelings. Storytelling will develop
million feelings, imagination, and mind. Of course, if the story build a positive
character, the happy ending story, the good win against the evil. Someone who at his
childhood always listened stories, compared with someone who never got it, will
have higher level of intelligence. Why? Because storytelling sharpens the child
intelligence.
Storytelling is also a way of forming a creative child,
as the impact of improving child intelligence.
Listening story is an activity that uses child's abilities to explore himself
and the environment with a variety of ways. Why listening stories is essential
for children? Because listening stories has education function. This activity also make them happy. Listening story is one
way to be creative. Addition, a child’s interest on an object can show their
talent. If your son interest in Cinderella’s clothes, may be, he will be a
designer. Studies had shown that listening stories could enhance creativity and
also as a recreation for children. Then, what is the relationship between
listening story and the increase of IQ? We always describe that an intelligent
man is a person who always get high mark on school exam. Whereas, factors that
influence IQ are hereditary and environment. Listening stories have a role as
the environment support. There is a kid who genetically smart but he did not
receive support from the environment, there is no stimulus to be creative, then
he is not going to be a smart kid.
Since it was
introduced by Daniel Goleman, born March 7, 1946, A CEO Emotional Intelligence
Services in Sudbury, Massachusetts, more and more people are interested to
apply ideas about emotional intelligence (EQ). According to research,
successful or not of someone is also determined by emotional intelligence, not
only determined by IQ and spiritual intelligence. EQ is person's ability to
recognize, motivate, manage their own sense of self, and in relation with
others. Goleman said there five basic skills that must be mastered:
self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills.
Emotion is a reaction to external encouragement from outside and from within.
Emotions be related with the changes of physiological and mind. Listening story
is an important means to develop the
emotional intelligence, because equip children to think realistic and
optimistic. Children who difficult to understand other's feeling and himself,
usually, it will be a problem for his behavior on later.
Meanwhile,
spiritual intelligence (SQ) are potentials spiritual such as the nature of courage, optimism,
faith, how to look natural, constructive behavior, empathy, and forgiveness.
There are some criteria to find spiritual intelligence: the existence of a deep
self-awareness, intuition, the existence of a broad view of the world,
awareness of the cosmos that he lived as a part of nature, high morals,
understanding the purpose of life, caring to others, sharing, have fresh ideas,
and sometimes bizarre.
By listening
prophet stories and stories that come from the scriptures then the conscience
is always sharpened, often arise conscience because there is a stimulus from
the outside. Example, while listening story of Cinderella who persecuted by her
stepmother and stepsister. But Cinderella does not grudge. If her heart was
filled of hate, then it would be bad impact.
Please, you
command your child to memorize ten words: frogs, shooting, soccer, boxer,
sewing, a well, mice, fishing, dairy, and marble. It is not an easy job! It
would be easier if the words were be made into a simple story:
“a frog was practicing shooting
a ball near the boxer who
sewing clothes in a well, then comes a mice carrying fishing
and milk cans containing marbles.”
Why it is more
easier? By combining those words into a story, so the right brain and left
brain worked at the same time, especially if the story was made as a song. It
is the reason why people more easily to memorize a song rather than to memorize
formula of mathematics, unless the
mathematics formula also made as a song.
Whether the
child was involved to make a story? We can provoke him by a sentence: “Lets make a story!” Or at other time the
parents said, “Now, what story?”, “Bobby,
tell me a story!” Your child must
be supported to tell his story, to express his imagination even though it
is something that does not a real. The
story that made by adults often is not a real, isn’t it? Maybe your child would
speak, “One day, when a butterfly take a walk at the market….” Although it is
only a few words or several sentences, please give him a good appreciation.
Never to underestimate him. If you do it, maybe, he never willing to tell his
story again, or he will lost his confident.
Whether we
must tell the classic stories? Stories from our ancestors or legends? But, it is very good if you create a story by yourself. This book guide you to
make stories by yourself. By the guide of this book, parents and teachers are
easily to create a story. There are very much idea. Anything that you find or
anything that you imagine can be made as an interesting stories, depends on how
you to process, it is similar with the activity to cook a food. When you had
find an idea (matter), then, you can process it to become a story. There are many word which can help
you to open your story easier: "one day, once upon in time". But
words “then, next, after, hereafter, after that, when" will help you to run your story. For example:
One day a snake felt very hungry, then it go to a farmer house. The snake
met a young farmer and asked a permit to eat his young chicken. The young
farmer very surprise. He never see that
a snake can speak before. After that he run to his father. And
then, they saw the strange snake together. The snake said to the old
man, "Please, give me your fat chicken. I am very hungry." After
heard the voice the old man had an idea. He answered, “Ok, I will give you a
chicken. But you must sing a song. Are you agree?” The snake nodded. Then the
old farmer told all his neighbors to see the unique snake. When the
snake sing a song, his neighbors very glad
and gave him some money. The snake got a chicken and the old farmer got
much money. After that the snake was invited by the old farmer to go to
market…… AND SO FORT!
