Children have a poor memory, learn things clearly but do not remember, and always forget the words in their own lives. I'm sure a lot of parents have this problem, and it's a big problem. So how to improve your child's memory? Let's see!
What are the causes of memory loss in children?
There are many causes of poor memory in children, including long-term lack of sleep, lack of exercise, and eating unhealthy foods, which can lead to poor memory in children and lack of certain micronutrients in the body. For example, too much iron, zinc, or lead in children can cause memory problems, while too many micronutrients or certain elements in children can be the cause of physical problems.
For psychological reasons, long-term exposure to excessive anxiety and depression can also reduce a child's memory. But both types of memory loss can occur, which is temporary and can be altered because it doesn't damage the structure of the child's brain.
The factors that affect memory are as follows:
1. If the child can hear a complete and clear voice, the child can hear the sound more actively, and the child's memory of the sound will be longer.
2. A child's memories of something will excite him or her, something will cause him or her to develop positive emotions, or an experience, and these memories will last longer.
3. It can arouse children's interest, such as vivid pictures and rhythmic music, which can attract children's attention and promote children's long-term memory.
So, in this case, what do we need to do to help children improve their memory?
1. Help your child make regular arrangements
For children, irregular sleep patterns, or staying up late, can affect memory. Now, many children do their homework late at night, and some go to cram school when they get home. They are forced to accept too much and lack sleep, which can lead to a gradual decline in their children's memory.
As parents, the person who knows your child best can make a sleep schedule for your child based on your child's own situation so that your child can get enough sleep based on science time. Going to bed on time and having regular healthy habits can help your child develop good habits and improve his memory.
2. Use memory time
Everyone has different memory times, some children have a good memory in the morning, some children have a good memory before going to bed. As a parent, you can first use science to help your child set the learning time, observe the child's memory, and then adjust the child's learning tasks. When your child has a good memory, you can give your child some knowledge that needs to be memorized or memorized.
However, we must not let children study all day, but also give children plenty of leisure and entertainment time to ensure that children have vitality and vitality. Exercise and play can also improve your child's memory. Don't let your child take advantage of his or her memories.
3. Nutritional supplements
Children are always full of curiosity about the world, their daily life is to explore the unknown world, to explore the world with their own eyes, and there is a continuous energy loss in the process of children's exploration.
But many parents don't want their children to lose the race at the starting line, so in addition to learning, they also arrange some extracurricular activities for their children. But if the child already has something they like and wants to learn, parents choose a course that they think will be better for the child's future development, which can lead to resistance and mental problems, leading to memory loss.
At this time, it is particularly important to correctly guide and supplement children's energy, promote brain development, and improve memory nutrition. Supplementing the brain with nutrients also helps the brain to remember better and improve memory. If your child is already a student, try supplementing with brain DHA. DHA is an important nutrient for children's brain growth and development.
4. Bring your kids into contact with nature
Parents can take their children to places close to nature. Let them breathe more fresh air and get close to nature. They can not only reduce the physical and mental stress of the child, but also continue to broaden the child's vision in this life. Their interest in the natural world stimulates their curiosity to explore. A relaxed and pleasant environment will also make children feel comfortable and cope with the stresses of learning and life. While building self-confidence, keep your child motivated to explore the unknown.
5. Reduce the amount of time children spend watching TV
Studies have shown that children who watch TV regularly have poor memory because their brains do not relax when watching TV. Instead, because of their curiosity about the content of the TV, the child's brain is running at high speed. In this case, the child will overuse the brain. Therefore, if children watch TV regularly, their mood is generally not high enough to keep up with the pace of learning.
In addition to these, parents also need to cultivate their children's memory, which can be trained.
1. Use images to memorize
This memory method is more in line with the memory situation of the human brain. Because the things that children remember will make them more curious, words are too boring for them, and pictures are more able to attract children's attention, and using pictures to remember will be more conducive to children's memory training. Use images that contain knowledge to make it easier for children to remember knowledge.
For example, if you want your child to remember a word or a Chinese character, you can add a picture of a word or Kanji next to it, or visualize the word or Kanji.
2. Use stories to memorize
Kids tend to forget what they've learned because they're too rigid and too meaningless.
You don't care about the faces of people crossing the street every day, but if you see a horse crossing the street in a city full of cars, you'll remember it decades later because the picture will be so clear in your mind.
In fact, you can use the method of stringing together, that is, to use the different things that need to be memorized to string them together in a story form, so that it becomes a structured story that can be imagined all the way.
3. Use comprehension to memorize
The Culture of Chinese Chinese is profound and profound, and the ancient poetry culture is the accumulation of history, and there are many obscure places for children. If you want your child to memorize a poem, help him understand the poem. Parents can take their children to understand the picture depicted in the poem, and then take the child to draw it in the way of mind mapping, the children think of the main information in the picture, and then it will be much easier to recite the poem.
When parents find out that their child has poor memory, they are unable to concentrate on learning. Then parents should start to pay attention, first of all, to observe the child's recent learning, and then use a reasonable diet to supplement the child's nutrition, spend more time and energy with the child, guide the child to master the correct learning methods, improve memory.
