What is the reason for children's poor memory? Mom, do you know?

Children with poor memory can give parents a headache. Children's poor memory will have a great impact on their daily studies. Parents should find out the reasons for their children's poor memory in time, whether it is due to lack of concentration, insufficient sleep, or inadequate nutrition in their diet.

1. Lack of concentration

The main reason why children have poor memory is that they have poor attention and lack of concentration. Attention is the basis of memory. Only when you concentrate, focus, and eliminate distractions and outside interference when memorizing, will the cerebral cortex leave deep memory traces and not easily forget. If you are distracted and trying to do two things at once, your memory efficiency will be greatly reduced.

2. Lack of sleep

Sleep is an essential condition for maintaining a high level of brain alertness. If children do not get enough sleep, the dopamine storage will be insufficient, the brain will not be able to become excited, the processing of memory information will be greatly reduced, and the memory will deteriorate. Children should get at least 8 hours of sleep every day.

3. Caused by malnutrition

Brain activity, like muscle movement, causes physical changes and chemical reactions and consumes a lot of nutrients. If children are malnourished and have an unbalanced diet, they will not be able to meet the brain's energy consumption, which will greatly reduce their learning and memory abilities. The nutrients the brain needs include: glucose, protein, fat, vitamins, etc. Children should get up on time, eat a good breakfast, and eat meals on time; eating nuts such as walnuts and almonds can also help nourish the brain. Also, zinc supplementation can improve memory.

4. Emotional instability

Children are in the period of growth and development, and will have various emotional fluctuations, which will affect their learning, especially their memory and concentration in class. At this time, parents need more meticulous care, have more heart-to-heart talks with their children, ask for their opinions more often, keep their children's emotions as stable as possible, and minimize the impact of various external factors on their learning. In addition, children have heavy study tasks, attend various remedial classes, and are overly tired, which can also lead to poor memory.

5. The educational content is profound

The educational content is too profound for children to understand, or too shallow and lacks novelty, and cannot attract children's attention. If the teaching methods are not flexible enough and cannot combine static and dynamic methods, this will affect children's concentration and lead to poor memory.
