What should I do if my child has a poor memory?

Children’s learning is what parents care about most. Some children have strong memory and strong learning ability, while other children have poor memory and very poor ability to store knowledge. Therefore, memory is a key helper for children’s learning. What should we do if those children have poor memory? Let’s take a look at the relevant explanations below.

1. Use mnemonics

This is a method of enhancing memory through use. Usage is both a learning process and a repetitive process. For example: Memorizing English words simply by heart will not deepen your impression. The key is to use them. If you can use them frequently to talk with people or write letters to your foreign friends, you will definitely remember the words very well.

2. Classification Memory Method

It will be easier to remember if you connect the memory objects according to their nature, characteristics, and content, group them and classify them so that they are systematized and organized. For example: when memorizing foreign language words, classify the occupations: teachers, students, workers, farmers, scientists, artists; schools: primary school, middle school, university; relatives: grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, brothers, sisters; directions: east, west, south, north; seasons: spring, summer, autumn, winter, etc. This way it will be easier to remember.

3. List Memory Method

Lists make it easy to organize messy memory objects, making them easier to retrieve, especially for complex numbers, words, etc.

4. Cycle Memory Method

Divide the materials to be memorized into several groups, arrange them in sequence, one group at a time, and constantly go back to review and consolidate the previous materials. Repeating the memory in this way can make the memory signal reappear again and again, which can make people's memory last longer.

5. Reading and Memory Method

Read carefully and extensively some articles or newspapers related to things you are interested in to enhance your memory.
