As children get older, there are more and more things to remember and this isn't always easy for them.
Kids can learn and remember information in different ways, depending on their preferred mix of learning styles. Read on to find out about the different memory styles and how each of these can help improve your child’s memory skills.
Visualise in pictures
Some children recall more details from pictures than through verbal reminders. Bright images and colours can leave lasting impressions that enable kids to remember things more vividly.
Keep it simple
Some children may filter out information or choose not to complete certain tasks that are difficult to understand. These children only retain information effectively when learning strategies are kept simple.
Explain it verbally
Some children will tend to remember details most distinctly through conversations. When they share their experiences by talking about them, the verbal reinforcement creates a more impactful way to remember what they have learnt.
Write it down
Some children learn to remember facts and figures by writing them down. When these children pen down their thoughts, experiences and data they have gathered, they’re more likely to absorb and process it. This in turn will become their newfound knowledge.
Try cultivating these memory skills one by one, to find the best mix of learning styles for your child. Make suitable changes accordingly, if you find that your little one takes to one method better than the other.
Soon enough, you’ll be able to find the best ways to help your child boost her memory skills!
