How to develop memory in toddlers
You need to start with simple exercises, gradually complicating the task. At the first stage, the baby’s favorite toys can be involved in the process: bears, hares, cars, etc. First you need to teach the child to identify objects with their names. Then put all the toys in one place and, turning to the child, ask him to get some specific one. If the kid does everything right, you can move on.
At the second stage, drawings with images of animals are used (you can practice on game cards). Two or three cards must be laid out face up so that the baby remembers them. Then — turn face down and ask the child: where is the dog, for example.
Life helps to develop memory
In order to properly develop memory in a child, it is not recommended to limit oneself to exercises alone. From time to time, parents need to contact the baby with a specific request: bring a comb from the bathroom, get your towel out of the closet, put on slippers, etc. Firstly, the baby remembers the names of objects and learns to associate them correctly. And, secondly, he remembers what and where is in the apartment. After all, for sure, he has already seen all the objects more than once: you just need to strain your memory and remember where they lie.
Cultural leisure
In the learning process, the cultural leisure of the child plays an important role. Parents should periodically visit the circus with the baby, visit the puppet theater, go to the park. And in the evening, ask him to share his impressions of the performance or walk he saw, to tell what and why he remembered, what he liked. Mentally returning to past events, the baby develops memory.
Starting to read a fairy tale before going to bed, mom may ask: at what point did you stop yesterday. Thus, checking whether her child remembered what he had heard earlier. It is advisable to learn poetry with children: this is an effective way to develop memory.
