How to develop children's memory?

We all know that parents can be said to be the best teachers for their children during their growth process. However, if we can let our children maintain good living habits in daily life, and master certain scientific parenting methods, our children can become smarter and healthier. In particular, we must pay special attention to the baby's brain development. First of all, we must let the child be able to concentrate, and let the child eat more foods that help brain development. Let's learn about how to cultivate children's memory.

1. Discuss details

"Studies have shown that improving children's memory requires long-term efforts from parents. This process requires you to constantly ask children questions or discuss some details of past events," said Dr. Catherine, a psychology professor and researcher from Chicago. For example, when you and your child are discussing the recent circus performance you watched, you could ask your child, "Which show did you like best?" or "Did you think the clown's performance was fun the second time he came out?" If your child cannot answer your question, it may be that he can't remember it, so you might as well give him the answer. Next time, he will learn to remember some details.

2. Play memory games

You can use cards to play games with your children. For example, show your child many pictures of items, and then ask, "If we go on a picnic, which of these things should we take away?" You and your child name one, and I name one, and slowly you have named all the things that can be chosen.

3. Design prompt language

Finding memory tips can be very helpful for children. For example, when you are teaching your child to recognize "left" and "right", let your child use the thumbs and index fingers of both hands to make the shape of a "mouth", with the hands facing to the right, which represents "right". The corresponding character for “right” is “left”, and the two vertical lines of “口” added to the middle become “left”. You can also use body language or dance to express your meaning. That way, every time you do an action, the child will remember it immediately. After a few times, he will be able to recite it without your reminder.

4. Give your child positive hints

Give your child a positive psychological hint and tell him: "Baby, this is very simple, you will definitely remember it!"

5. Separate the paragraphs and attack them one by one

If your child wants to memorize a poem or a long passage from a short drama, you might as well let him/her break the words down, read them one by one, and then memorize them.

6. Cultivate children's interest in learning

Adults tend to remember things that interest them easily. On the contrary, if you are not interested in something, you should force yourself to make an effort to remember it. Children aged five or six often cannot do this and find it difficult to remember things they are not interested in. Therefore, we must constantly stimulate children's interest in learning so that they can learn and remember diligently.

7. Practice, practice, practice

You might as well repeat loudly with your children what they want to memorize. After repeating it several times, the children will find it very simple to memorize. Frequently test your child on the new words or addition and subtraction he has learned. The more he practices, the more proficient he will become. After testing your child on simple characters, you should quickly deepen the level and test him on more difficult characters. The child will gradually realize that memory is an active process. He will feel more and more smart because of his efforts. He will become more and more confident because he can deal with so many problems intelligently.

8. Enrich your child’s living environment

Only with life experience can there be memory. Because children are "knowledgeable and experienced", they can remember and talk about a lot of things they have seen and heard. They must have confidence in their memory. To build up this confidence, you have to give it to your children. Children will be deeply impressed by things that are vivid, interesting, or make them happy or surprised. These impressions will remain in their memory for a long time. These impressions will cause associations when they encounter new things, making it easier for them to remember new things.

The above is an introduction to how to cultivate children's memory. After understanding it, many parents must pay attention to it. First of all, the baby must be able to concentrate. In addition, the baby can be given more milk, corn, peanuts and other foods in the diet. This will be of great help to the health of the brain. And the baby should have a regular daily life habits to ensure adequate sleep and a balanced diet.
