Why are many children very intelligent but grow up to be normal?

According to education experts, a child can become normal from being intelligent due to the following reasons.

Over-reliance on superior intelligence

Intelligent children are often good at studying and easily absorb new knowledge and skills. However, they can become too dependent on their intellectual strength and ignore other important qualities and efforts. When faced with difficulties and challenges, they lack the ability to cope and persevere, so they gradually lose their advantage.

Lack of effort and persistence

Smart children tend to get good grades in school and rarely need to put in extra effort. However, they may encounter obstacles and difficulties when they enter more advanced stages of learning or face more complex problems. Lacking the experience of effort and perseverance, they may become discouraged and give up on becoming more excellent and outstanding. From there, they gradually become mediocre.

Pursue your comfort zone

Smart children often adapt easily to many different situations. However, this can also cause them to seek comfort and avoid facing challenges and risks. They are not willing to step out of their comfort zone, afraid to try new things, afraid to face new challenges. Gradually, they lose the opportunity to progress and develop.

Focus too much on the results and ignore the process

Smart kids are often results-oriented and achievement-oriented. They are used to getting good grades and being praised. However, when they are too focused on results, they may miss important details and experiences in the learning process. They may take shortcuts and are not willing to invest the time and effort to understand and master knowledge, leading to superficial understanding and mastery.

Lack of spirit of challenge and self-discovery

Smart children often lack the spirit of challenge and self-discovery in the school environment as well as the family. Smart children may be satisfied with their current knowledge and skills, instead of actively seeking new learning opportunities or facing unknown fields. They may neglect the pursuit of their own growth and development, thereby gradually losing the opportunity to break through.

Therefore, in order to prevent children's intelligence from being eroded, parents need to help their children cultivate their comprehensive qualities and abilities in life. At the same time, parents should always emphasize to their children the importance of diligence and perseverance. Encourage children to step out of their comfort zone and face challenges; pay attention to the balance between the learning process and results.

At the same time, parents should stimulate children's curiosity and desire to learn, as well as cultivate their ability to learn independently and challenge themselves. Encourage children to ask questions, seek answers; actively participate in exploration and practice.

In addition, parents also need to help children set clear learning goals, help them form feasible plans and steps to implement those plans. This helps develop self-management and self-motivation skills in children, helping them to move towards their goals in a methodical manner and always strive for excellence.
