Children have good memory and have 3 characteristics. Do your children have them?
The neighbor's child is more than five years old this year, and his nickname is Tutu. Tutu usually likes reading books very much. Whenever he finishes reading a book, he can always clearly remember the plot and the names of the characters in it. On weekdays, he can always clearly remember some words said by the people around him, and he can take care of everyone's preferences.
When Tutu was less than three years old, his mother took him back to his hometown in Hebei once, thinking that he only stayed there for a few days and would not have any memories. But not long ago, when his mother brought Tutu back to his hometown again, he ran towards grandma's house as soon as he entered the village. This made my mother sigh: This child has such a strong memory!
For children with super memory like Tutu, if parents can strengthen the training and guidance the day after tomorrow, then the child is likely to become a top student in the future! Wondering if your child has a super memory too? Then let's see if he has the following characteristics.
Children have these three characteristics, indicating good memory
- I can always think of things before the age of three
Generally speaking, children have no memory before the age of three. In fact, this is only from the perspective of brain development. Before the age of three, the prefrontal cortex of the brain is not mature, coupled with limited language development, so the memory before the age of three is often vague, short-lived, and easily forgotten.
However, for those children with a well-developed right brain and good at image memory, they can always remember things before the age of three. Although these memories are not coherent and complete, it also shows that children have good memory.
- Remember clearly what others have said
There are many mothers around me who respond that their children always ignore their own words, and they often say a sentence eight hundred times and their children can't remember it. It's really helpless! At this time, parents may conclude that the child is not sensible, or too playful, or not paying attention, etc. In fact, this is also related to the child's memory.
Some children with strong memory can always keep their mother's unintentional words in their hearts, and suddenly mention them in the future, or directly put them into action. Such children are really caring!
- Clearly remember where things are placed
Since having children, many families have become messy, and things are often lost, so adults will ask children, where did this go, where did that go, and many children can't tell at this time.
However, some children with better memory can always quickly find the location where things are placed. At this time, adults will find that the child is in chaos and order, and he is very clear about the location of each item.
What can parents do to improve their children's memory?
- Maintain a good diet and sleep patterns to enhance brain function
According to relevant research, if people eat too much or too much oil for a long time, it will slow down the brain response. If you want your child to have a good memory, parents must first let their children develop good eating habits and eat more light, less oily, and less salty foods; secondly, they must maintain regular sleep to allow the brain to fully rest. In the end, it is necessary to properly feed the child some brain-building food, such as milk, eggs, fish, carrots, spinach, strawberries, walnuts, etc.
- Grasp the best memory time and carry out conscious memory
Let the child maintain a regular sleep, and it is easy for the child to find the best memory time. Generally speaking, people have the best memory in the morning every day. In addition, some people have a good memory in the evening and before going to bed. Only by letting children grasp the best memory time can they improve memory in a more targeted manner.
Children can put the content that needs to be memorized at the best memory time, and parents can also seize this opportunity to carry out purposeful memory training for their children. At this time, tell stories to children, read literacy cards, play games, etc.
- Turn off the TV, enrich children's daily life, mobilize sensory memory
If you want to improve your child's memory, you must strictly control the time your child watches TV, because people passively receive information while watching TV, which is not conducive to the development of children's concentration and independent thinking ability. Only turn off the TV to enrich the life of the child, so that the child will continue to enhance the desire to explore and curiosity, so that it can actively improve memory, attention and thinking ability.
Enhancing children's memory is not just about improving the vitality of the brain, but also requires the cooperation of multiple senses of the human body. Enhancing children's vision, hearing, and touch, allowing multi-sensory participation, can make the memory effect reach more than 86%. Only by fully mobilizing children's interests and making them devote themselves wholeheartedly, can children's memory be fully improved.
It can be seen that it is not an easy task to improve children's memory! We must start from all aspects of living habits, eating habits, and study habits. However, mobilizing children's interest in learning and improving their enthusiasm for learning is more effective than parental supervision!
