6-year-old Yueyue works in a kindergarten and is a very cute girl who is very popular. But recently my mother discovered that Yueyue seemed to have some problems with her memory. She had just recited the nursery rhymes and ancient poems in the first ten minutes, but she turned around and forgot everything. Next year, he will be in the first grade of elementary school, which makes Yueyue's mother very worried, worried that her child's memory will become worse and worse in the future, which will affect her studies.
Scenarios like Yueyue are not uncommon among preschool children. In this "involved" family education environment, it will naturally make parents feel anxious. To this end, many parents will try their best to enhance their children's memory, but due to inadequate methods and other reasons, the results are not ideal.
01 Preschool children mainly focus on short-term memory
The quality of memory is closely related to the level of intelligence. In most cases, children with intellectual disabilities generally have worse memory than normal children; children with good memory have better intelligence levels than children with poor memory.
Many people think that the younger the child, the better the memory. In fact, this is not the case. The actual situation is not exactly the same as what we imagined: preschool age, especially children around 3 years old, mainly short-term memory. What they can remember are generally vivid and interesting things, but due to their young age and lack of experience, they often cannot remember things and will soon forget them.
So, can we find a way to help children improve their memory quickly?
When we understand the reasons why children’s memory is not ideal, we can find a way to help children improve their memory. This is the simple “retelling exercise” method that is effective in easy to learn .
02 "Retelling Exercise" method can help children improve and improve their memory quickly
"Retelling Memory Method", as the name suggests, is to use constant repetition to exercise children's memory, and use repetitive reinforcement methods to deepen their memory.
Practice has proved that the "retelling exercise" method can help children quickly improve and improve their memory.
We can help children do some retelling exercises based on the memory time rules, so that they can quickly improve their memory.
Under normal circumstances, the more repetitions are repeated, the longer the memory time will be, from the first few seconds to the second, the third few minutes to the hours, so that the child can remember things longer and longer.
We can also help children do some retelling exercises. For example, children generally like to listen to adults telling them stories. In order to deepen children's memory, we can let children practice retelling stories.
At the beginning, children may not fully understand the storyline and other content, and often repeat it several times, but simply listen to it passively and it is difficult to form effective memory.
For older children, we can let them first read picture books, " Bridge Book " and other books, and then let the children retell. Just repeat it a few more times, the child can basically remember the whole story.
For memorizing some simple words and sentences, we can also use the retelling practice method. First, let the child retell the content he wants to remember several times, and then after a few minutes or hours, then let him retell it several times respectively. In this way, the child can remember what he has learned.
Conclusion
When treating preschool age, especially children around 3 years old, we parents should have sufficient patience, help their children do more retelling exercises in daily life, and let their children actively participate, and you will find that their children's memory is getting better and better. A good memory means that their intelligence will develop better.
