What causes children to forget?

It is a common phenomenon for children to become forgetful. This may be caused by a lack of vitamins and trace elements in the body. It may also be caused by too much pressure and too much fatigue from studying. It is best to let children pay more attention to rest, get enough sleep, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, replenish trace elements in time, and eat more nuts, such as walnuts, pistachios and the like.

1. Memories of the first three years are extremely important

Children's psychology develops gradually on the basis of accumulating experience through interaction with the surrounding environment and learning and mastering the excellent cultural heritage of mankind through interaction with adults. Such accumulation must have a prerequisite, that is, there must be memory. We can assert that if people have no memory, human beings can only stay in the neonatal period!

During the first three years of life, the information that enters the brain will be stored in the old cortex of the cerebral cortex, forming a person's "subconscious education". Compared with the information stored in the new cortex of the cerebral cortex in the future - that is, "conscious education", the subconscious mind can play a greater role in a person's life quality. It is more than 50 times stronger than the conscious mind! The quality of the subconscious mind determines the quality of the human mind.

Because the memory developed in the first three years is the foundation for life.

Mom's Confusion: Short-term Memory

Babies at this stage may seem a little "moody". On weekdays, the baby is very close to his mother and likes to be hugged by his mother the most. However, occasionally, when the mother left for a few days due to work or other reasons, when she came back to hold the baby, he would cry loudly and reluctantly, and try hard to get into his grandmother's arms. I forgot about my mother so quickly!

Memory secrets:

1. Memory is only retained for a short time

Most of the baby's early memories are short-term memories and can only be maintained for a very short period of time: only a few days or even a few minutes. For example, if you separate a baby from his mother for a few days and then let him see his mother again, he may not recognize her!

2. Small memory range

The younger the baby is, the less fully developed his brain is and the smaller his memory range is. In the early stages, he may only be able to recognize his mother, then slowly he will begin to become familiar with his relatives around him, and then slowly develop to objects. Of course, he is not averse to new things. When guests came to his house and wanted to hug him, he didn't resist. Most babies begin to become shy and reject strangers when they are 6 months old. This is actually a good phenomenon: it means that the baby is beginning to use memory to distinguish the people around him.

How to improve memory?

Repeat the action to deepen the impression

Before the baby drinks milk, the mother often takes out the bottle and shakes it in front of the baby to tell him that it is time to drink milk. Repeatedly reinforce this for a period of time. When the baby is hungry, the mother will shake the bottle and the baby will remember that "it's time to drink milk." It can be seen that although the baby's memory time is short, as long as the mother repeats and reinforces it patiently, he will still be able to remember it.

Talk to your baby regularly

Although the baby is small and cannot understand what adults say, his little brain has begun to learn to recognize sounds. Sound becomes another way for him to recognize and remember. If the mother talks and communicates with the baby frequently, the mother's voice information will be stored repeatedly in the baby's brain.

Play some simple training games with your baby

Some simple games can help your baby with early training. For example, you can hold a small toy in front of your baby for a while, and then slowly move the toy so that it disappears from your baby's sight. Repeat this action several times to re-introduce the image of the toy to your baby to stimulate his memory.

Take your baby out more often to broaden his horizons

Memory is based on rich cognitive experience. When following his mother to visit parks and markets, the baby is constantly coming into contact with and learning about things through multiple senses such as vision, hearing, and smell, which leaves a deeper memory in his mind.
