Every parent hopes that their child can win at the starting line, as we all know, 0 to 6 years old is a critical period for the baby's brain development, during this period, if parents exercise the baby's brain, it is possible to cultivate a "super brain" for the baby, so how to exercise the baby's "super brain"?
When our child was a child, my husband and I exercised her brain, often telling her a story repeatedly, letting her listen to children's songs, and taking her to read some picture books.
We didn't think about the effect of these mental exercises, but the child gave me a big surprise, she spoke earlier than the average child, she can say more than a dozen words when she is more than one year old, when she is two years old, she will memorize a lot of ancient poems, she can also sing more than a dozen children's songs, and she can recognize some furniture at home and some items outside.
What surprised me the most was her super memory, almost repeating something to her five or six times, she could remember that when I took her shopping once, there was a billboard outside the mall, and she asked me: "Mom, what is this?"?
I told her, "This is a billboard for Ferrero's chocolate," and she kept asking me, "Is Ferrero delicious," "Is Ferrero the one my mother used to buy me," "Why is it called Ferrero?" I answered these questions one by one, repeating Ferrero five or six times, I didn't think she could remember, I thought she was on a whim.
Back at home in the evening, she began to rummaging around on the coffee table, flipped through half a day to find a piece of chocolate, and then asked me: "Mom, is this Ferrero", I was stunned by her memory, from I told her about this brand, it has been seven or eight hours, I did not expect her to remember.
She memorized some ancient poems as well, almost five or six times can be memorized, I am a little ashamed of myself, often said to my husband: "Sure enough, one generation is stronger than the next, I can't remember anything now."
My friend's daughter is about the same age as our children, and when she comes to our house with her daughter, our children will memorize ancient poems.
Their daughter will reluctantly say words and sentences, memorize things is also particularly slow, friends said that a "wing goose" taught for three or four days to remember, but also forget very fast, memory is very poor, no contrast is no harm, friends began to ask me how to take the child, want to learn from me, I will share with her a few points I cultivate the child's memory method.
Children's memory is not systematic, for example, we adults can draw skirts, pants, short sleeves, etc. in the category of clothes, but children's memory can not, their memory is scattered.
Children's memory also needs the constant guidance of parents, when children tell stories or endorsements, sometimes they may suddenly stutter, parents can use one or two words to remind children, for children before the age of 3, they want to tell a story or recite things completely, they need the constant guidance of parents.
How to exercise your child's brain and improve your child's memory?
First, repeat
Repetition is the only way for children to grow up, our children When they are young, they have to listen to a story repeatedly, and some stories read n times she still has to listen.
Every time she came out of the bedroom with the storybook, my husband and I wanted to cry without tears, we didn't want to read the story to her, the repeated story was too boring, but there was no way, the child wanted to listen, or had to read.
Repetition is actually a normal phenomenon of children's memory, they are constantly repeating some things, parents can continue to tell their children some stories, which is conducive to the cultivation of children's memory.
Second, the combination of the senses and the brain
When I was in middle and high school chemistry class, I often did some experiments to combine the senses and the brain, so that some experimental effects would be remembered very clearly, and even some changes could be remembered for a long time, which is the combination of the senses and the brain, memory in practice, the baby's memory can also be exercised in this way.
If the child simply remembers the name of an item, it may not be remembered so quickly, at this time you can take this item, such as a banana, parents tell the child what the banana looks like, let the child touch it with his hand, feel it, and the child can remember it very deeply.
Third, let the child remember in an orderly manner
There is no logical order for children's memories, parents can list a sequence for children to let children memorize in an orderly manner, so that cultivating children's memory can also cultivate children's logical thinking.
For example, what to do in the morning, dress, get up, brush your teeth, wash your face, eat breakfast, etc., parents can list a sequence for their children to remember in an orderly manner.
Fourth, visualize things
What the baby does not understand, when parents introduce their children, they can add more onomatopoeia, adjectives, mood words, etc., which can increase the sense of intimacy and help the child's memory.
For example, the little fox is afraid of the dark, "the little fox is too afraid of the night, what can not see clearly, it stands there and does not dare to move", so that it is much better than "the little fox is afraid of the dark", so that the sentence has a sense of intimacy, which can help the child's understanding of a thing, but also exercise the child's language expression ability.
When children memorize some letters, they can let the child's image memory, such as n is like a bridge hole, o is like an egg, etc., you can let the child's image memory, so that the child can remember faster and the memory time is longer.
Fifth, the complex issues are briefly explained
Children's comprehension ability is limited, parents to tell their children something, you can simply explain the complex problems, in plain language to explain.
For example, when you say bus, when you have a complicated sentence: the bus is a public transportation, there is a station, there is a specific time, the simple sentence is: we can take the bus to the destination, and when we get to the place we want to go, we can get off.
Children's comprehension ability is limited, some complex sentences children can not understand and do not want to listen, parents should start from the child's point of view to tell the child some sentences that help children understand.
Something to say to you:
Children's memory can be exercised, no child's natural memory is bad, if the child's memory is relatively poor, parents can reflect on how they usually teach their children, correct their own methods of teaching children, can be a good exercise of children's memory.
