Ways to build your child's memory bank
Establish routines.
Young children thrive on them, and they
make perfect fodder for enhancing your child's memory. If your child knows that
he snuggles with his night after his bath, he will start to get the bear
himself.
Play memory game
Ask questions when
you are out and about. Simple matching games are great for improving memory.
There are several memory matching games
you can buy or make your own. Whatever memory games or activities you play,
remember to have fun with your child.
Demonstrate how to perform tasks.
Babies model their parents actions. If you want your child
to learn how to do something, show him how and give him a turn. Doing rather
than simply observing, helps your baby store information more solidly. And they
remember best when you repeat the action periodically.
Talk with your child about her experiences.
Focus on events that resonated strongly with her, such as trip to the zoo etc.
Using familiar books
Reading familiar books can serve as a memory tool for your
child. Reading aloud to your child exposes them to language skills. When your
child asks you to read a book again and again, they are using repetition to
learn the story by memory. As you read point out the words as you read to your
child.
Using memory rhymes
Rhyming is an important language skill. Games using rhymes
encourage memory growth and teach letter sounds.
Talking about the days event.
Ask your child about the events in school or about a trip.
Be specific with your question.
