What should I do if my 7-year-old child has poor memory?

Children have poor memory and cannot concentrate on their studies. Their test scores are always unsatisfactory. I believe many parents also have this problem, but they can only worry and cannot help. Some parents have no patience and no good solutions and will just nag and complain to their children endlessly, which will only make the children more bored, rebellious, and lose interest in studying. Here are some tips on how to improve your child’s memory.

Ways to improve your child's memory

1. Pay attention and concentrate during class. As long as you concentrate and focus on memorizing and exclude distractions and outside interference, the cerebral cortex will be left with deep memory traces and will not be easily forgotten. If you are distracted and multitasking, your memory efficiency will be greatly reduced.

2. Cultivate interest in learning. If you are bored with the learning materials and knowledge objects, it will be difficult to remember them even if you spend more time on them.

3. Understand and remember. Understanding is the basis of memory. Only things that you understand can be remembered firmly and for a long time. It is not easy to remember by rote alone. For important learning content, if you can combine understanding and memorization, the memory effect will be better.

4. Overlearning. That is, on the basis of remembering the learning materials, remember them several times until you are familiar with them and remember them well.

3. Review in time. The speed of forgetting is fast at first and then slow. It is an effective way to strengthen memory traces and prevent forgetting to strike while the iron is hot and review and consolidate the knowledge just learned in a timely manner.

4Recall often. When studying, continuous attempts to recall can correct memory errors, make up for omissions, and make up for difficult points in the learning content more firmly. Frequently recalling objects you have memorized in the past during your spare time can also help avoid forgetting.

5. Use a variety of memory techniques. Depending on the situation, you can flexibly use classification memory, characteristic memory, homophonic memory, debate memory, associative memory, interesting memory, chart memory, shortened memory, and outline making, note-taking, cards and other memory methods to enhance memory.

The above editor has listed some good methods to improve children’s poor memory. I hope it will be helpful to parents. Children with good memory will always be successful in their studies. The editor also suggests that when children have poor memory, don’t just criticize them. Improving children’s poor memory is not something that can be achieved overnight, and persistence is the only way.
