How to improve memory in children

Memory is becoming more and more important in today's highly competitive society. Having a good memory can not only help you excel in learning, but also reduce a lot of trouble in life. So now parents are very anxious to let their children improve their memory, but how to do it correctly and effectively? The following introduces how children can improve their memory.

1. Where to start

Purpose: To develop memory

Tell your baby a series of fairy tales and make sure he remember every part of the story. When you start talking the next day, you can ask him: "Where did we stop yesterday? Where should we start today? What is the content?" to see if the baby remembers it. Long-term training like this can effectively improve the baby's memory.

2. Animal Games

Purpose: To develop memory

Mom gathered all the animal toys at home and numbered each one. At the beginning, let each animal stand on its own number and ask the baby to remember it. Then the mother picks up the numbers and shuffles them. Then let the baby stick the original numbers on each animal to see if he can accurately match the numbers and animals one by one.

3. Say the names one by one

Purpose: To develop short-term memory

Arrange several things (no less than 5) on the table in order, give your baby 30 seconds to remember them, then cover them up and ask him to say the names of these things in order from memory.

4. Picture memory

Purpose: To teach classification memory method

Materials: Pictures or cards with animals on them

Let your baby look at a picture with several kinds of animals on it, and limit him to finish looking at it within a certain time. The time can be longer at the beginning, and then gradually shorten the viewing time. After taking the picture away, ask the baby to say what animals are in the picture. If he doesn't remember much, he can classify the animals, such as how many types of beasts there are, how many types of birds there are, and how many types of fish there are. This way he can remember faster.

5. Make a phone call

Purpose: To develop memory and imagination, enrich vocabulary, and promote the development of language skills

Sit in the same orientation as your baby (both facing forward). The mother puts her thumb and little finger close to her ear to imitate making a phone call and asks the baby: Hello, who are you? "Where do you live?" "What's your father's name?" "Where does he work?" ...

Ask your baby to answer one by one.

6. Look in the window

Purpose: To develop observation and memory accuracy

This game is suitable for playing when taking your baby out. When passing by a shop window, let your baby take a close look at the items displayed in the window. After leaving, ask him to tell you what he had just seen. You can also look at other things, such as observing the items in a pencil case and then saying how many things are in the box; observing the flower beds in the park and saying how many colors of flowers there are, and so on.

7. Word memory

Purpose: To expand the breadth of short-term memory

Ask your baby to repeat the stories you have told him to see how many words he can remember; say some familiar words to him within a certain period of time, such as words about transportation, daily necessities, animals and plants, and see how many he can remember.

8. Repeat gestures

Purpose: To expand the breadth of motor memory

Have your baby watch you make these 5 hand gestures carefully. Ask him not to follow you when you do it. When you are done, have him repeat it in sequence. If your baby cannot recall 5 gestures smoothly, you can reduce the number of gestures to 3-4, and then increase it to 5 later.

Gesture 1: Make a fist

Gesture 2: Extend your middle and index fingers (victory sign)

Gesture 3: Thumbs up (awesome gesture)

Gesture 4: Extend your pinky finger

Gesture 5: Extend 5 fingers

9. Listen to the story and answer questions

Purpose: To develop attention and memory

When reading a story to your baby, ask him to listen carefully and then answer questions based on the content of the story. For example, when reading the story of the little horse crossing the river, you can ask: Who said the water was shallow? Who said the water was deep?

10. Remember your name

Purpose: To develop memory for names

When watching TV or reading with your baby, ask him to pay attention to the names of the characters in the story, and then ask him to recall each person's name.

There is a saying that you cannot lose at the starting line. Many children are born with good memory, which is what we call smart, and this cannot be changed. There is also a saying that the early bird catches the worm. Continuously training your memory from an early age will have a certain effect, but don't rush it. The most important thing about memory is repetition, and it will be more effective if you repeat it several times.
