We can play number memory games with our baby and remember numbers very, very importantly, such as our phone, house number, license plate number.
But if we don't have this awareness in our daily lives, and we don't tell our children our cell phone numbers, then you think ,Oh my God, what can such a young child remember? I can't even remember, he can remember."
That way your child loses the opportunity to exercise, and his potential in this area is not being realized.
So after a year and a half, we can give our mobile phone number to the child from time to time, and then when we go out, press the license plate number to tell the baby that you can read it to him, there is no need to force him.
Also, like the lock screen password of our phone and the like, these can tell the children, children aged one and a half to two years old, when you tell him the password, you can also let him press himself, well, this is also a perception of the number.
The memory of other words like English, children's songs, and ancient poems is also important, why is this type of song important?
Because it has melody, it has rhythm. The same is true of ancient Chinese poetry, which is actually a song. It justifies having a flat melody, so it's easy to remember.
We say that when a child starts talking, when he is over a year old, he repeats an ancient poem. When he is over 20 months old, many children can memorize a large number and it does not take a lot of effort to remember. It doesn't take a lot of effort. He could easily remember it just by listening to it a few more times.
This is what we call absorption capacity. So for the memory of ancient poems, some parents ask me, our children can say a lot of ancient poems when they are more than two years old, so when they are four or five years old, they forget, is this useful?
In fact, when we say we want our children to remember these poems, we are not saying that in order to remember them, we are not saying that in order to remember them, we must always remember them, we can never forget them, it is impossible. But in the process of memory, exercise and develop the child's memory, which is the most important.
He will forget, it is normal to forget, but our parents cannot think that the child has forgotten, which means that I am completely useless to him this method, which is wrong.
Second give your child some spatial memory training. Spaces are up, down, left, right, east, west, north, south, inside, outside, etc., and these locations are related.
While playing at home, play games with your child, such as where to put his toys, and then take them away, ask him, where did you just put the toys?
Let him look for it. Even before the child can talk, he can play like this for a year, or even ten months. Let him find it, hide the toy under the handkerchief, and then let him find it, and let the kids know what is on the couch and what's on the couch.
Under the table, inside the drawer, inside the box, outside the box, and so on.
So an older kid, like a two-year-old, has some sort of language ability, right?
When we take the child out, you have to tell him, for example, where your school is in the square, east, west, south, north, left, right, and so on.
Every time you describe to the child in this daily life, and then go to the child to discuss with the child the last time we went to the mall, the playground you particularly like is in what position, you can exercise the child's spatial memory very well, the spatial memory ability is directly related to his spatial perception ability, then it is also related to his future math, science learning.
