Elephants or mules. Almost all newborn elephants or mules can stand up. After birth, human babies, one or two months old, can also raise their heads when they are lying on their stomachs. At this time, the heads will be raised at about a 45-degree angle, but they will not last too long. By the time they are five months old, most babies can hold their heads up.

Another meaning of raising your head is to look up at the world. Children go through "seven sitting, eight climbing and nine teething" (earlier now), then learn to stand and walk, and slowly begin to understand the world.

Raising your head is to receive messages. In the process of growing up, you can observe everything in the world and the changes in it through your eyes, and keep it in your mind. Then through interconnection and inferences, you can get new ideas.

When you lower your head, you can think and decide the next action. The further meaning of raising your head is to gaze at the sky or the stars, not to watch the flying birds, the flowing clouds, or the shining stars, but to observe and meditate on space. This is an advancement in human thinking: the objects around us are no longer novel, and the mystery of space is the most fascinating thing.

In Weiwei's children's room, there is a schematic diagram of the solar system hanging, allowing them to understand the structure of the solar system from an early age. Parents also bought many related books and toys for their children.

My uncle, who works at NASA, sent his nephews models and game CDs related to aerospace.

The United States is a space power. Americans have rich imagination and adventurous spirit, so they have strong innovation capabilities in this area. American schools also educate children about space knowledge and develop their intelligence very early. Some teaching topics are provided by different companies or institutions.

>This is a class assignment. The outermost layer is the month, the middle black part is the timetable, and the inner circle is the name of the famous constellation in the sky. This simple and practical starry sky chart is sponsored by Jodrell Bank and made by children themselves.

This "starry sky map" can be rotated to show that in different months and at different times of the year, you can watch the constellations in different positions in the sky. There is a saying circulating on the Internet: The higher the IQ of a person, the sooner he will look up to the sky. So there are stories about those great scientists who rose up earlier than others.

This meme comes from "Lao Gao and Xiao Mo" on YouTube. There is an episode about the discussion of genius. Lao Gao describes that if the person is a genius, he will look up at the sky when he is five years old.

Our grandchildren are ordinary children. Although I would look up at the sky when I was five years old, I would not reach the state of meditation. The daughter bought them an astronomical telescope and inspired them to explore the mysteries of the universe.

Weiwei took the children to the amusement park to ride on the "spaceship"

There was a photo of "Forest and Starry Sky" hanging in front of the bed in the children's dormitory. There may be some twinkling star that is emitting the light of kind maternal love, staring at the sleeping children...
