What should we do if primary school students’ memory declines?

Primary school students are in the period of the best memory, but many parents find that their children’s memory is getting worse. The knowledge they have just learned may be basically forgotten after a while. At this time, parents often feel worried, fearing that their children’s academic performance will decline. So what methods can help improve memory? The editor will give a more detailed explanation below.

1. Divergent thinking creates memory. Divergent thinking is a process in which the thinker seeks change based on the information provided by the problem, unconventionally, and uses association to promote memory. Children with extraordinary intelligence often have rich associations, and many inventions and creations are caused by associations. Just like Newton discovered the law of universal gravitation from the fall of an apple. Using the association method makes it easier to remember and reduces boredom. It is a form of thinking that obtains answers and is characterized by great initiative and creativity.

2. Teach children scientific memory methods. There are many methods to help memory, such as classification memory method, grouping similar things together and establishing certain connections, the memory effect will be better; rhyme memory method, compiling the memory material into rhymes to form a certain rhythm and rhyme to improve the memory effect; self-retelling method, turning the memorized material into your own words to strengthen memory; repetition memory method, consolidating memory through repeated reading; associative memory method, intellectually gifted children often have rich associations, and many inventions and creations are caused by associations.

3. Arrange a scientific diet for your child. Good memory requires a well-developed brain and the ability to fully utilize the brain's normal physiological functions. To enhance children's memory, parents should arrange their children's diet reasonably, ensure that they eat enough egg yolks, lean meat, fish, seafood, fruits, soy products and glucose, and do not let children overeat.

Regarding the situation of declining memory among primary school students, the above methods can all provide good solutions, so parents should try them in order to achieve obvious results. Also, you must be patient when educating your children and not yell at them, so as not to hurt their self-esteem and make the situation worse.
