My son is six years old, and many of his teachers have told me that he learns things quickly and that he can learn with his heart. He had never played an instrument before, especially when he started learning electronic piano at the age of five.
But when you start learning, you can listen to the notes. I was surprised to know that his father and I were voice-blind, typically voice-blind.
Did the music teacher say that he used to listen to music when he was a child? I tried to recall what it was like to be in a room with music on before my son was born, but I didn't listen.
Maybe the little guy was already listening at that time? However, it is also possible that the fetus is said to develop hearing from three months, and by five months the hearing is almost fully developed.
So maybe the son really wasn't born, when he remembered the rhythm of the music! So some new parents will ask when will their children start remembering things? As a parent, how should you cultivate your child's memory?
1. The time when the baby's memory begins and develops
Pay attention to the baby, you will find that even a newborn, when someone is holding him, his head will naturally tilt in order to find a place to feed.
This is a sign that your baby is starting to remember. So we think that after the child is born, the memory is further developed.
Babies as young as 5 months old will recognize the faces that often accompany them, and they smile when they see their mother or other caregiver, so their memories become more accurate as they age
2. Characteristics of baby memory
Although your baby is born with the ability to remember, he may not necessarily remember the poems you taught him when he was born. Babies' initial memories are limited to sounds, simple shapes or symbols, and are very short.
Babies can only remember for a few hours in a month or two, and as they get older, they remember longer and longer.
3. The development of the baby's memory begins with the mother's "nagging" speech
The smaller the baby, the shorter the memory time, so repeated emphasis must be conducive to the development of the baby's memory function, during the conversation can ask the baby to communicate, for example, we can ask the child what to eat at lunch today?
Are there fish? Do you play stacking with your teacher? The process of constant recall in a baby is the process of exercising memory.
4. Repetition rules, which help to strengthen memory
The smaller the child, the shorter the memory retention time, and the repetition of the child's memory should be improved. For example, bathe and feed your baby sequentially before going to bed every day, or read stories to your baby at a fixed time every day. After reading a story many times, the child is able to repeat the story after seeing the picture, even if the child cannot read Chinese characters, which is the effect of repeated reinforcement.
In fact, there are many ways to help your baby's memory development that parents can learn to use!
