The boy forgot sports shoes at school, did not write homework in the newspaper, did not buy bread in the store. The list of situations with childhood forgetfulness is endless.
Attention and memory are cognitive skills. They develop gradually. Preschoolers memorize information mechanically, without the use of special techniques.
If the child does not remember well, he must look for the causes of forgetting children. Excessive loads (circles, extracurricular activities) can become the cause of problems.
Today, children get more and more tired, because they don't have enough time to relax, they are busy at school, then run to tutors and then to creative groups. The children return home, they don't even have the strength to eat dinner, but you still have to do the homework.
In fact, parents rarely think about the conditions under which their children do their homework. A computer, a bright toy on the table, a television: all this distracts and does not allow you to concentrate on the most important thing: the lessons. Try to organize your child's workplace correctly: a minimum of things, a maximum of space.
As soon as the student returns home, feed him first. By the way, you cannot force your child to sit down to do homework immediately after eating, since a tired and full body needs to rest for at least an hour. Also, do not starve a child, even if the family observes the fast or tries to punish him, while depriving him of lunch or dinner. In fact, for the development and functioning of the brain, useful substances, trace elements and vitamins are necessary, without which, in principle, memory cannot develop.
Don't forget to control school meals, and ask the child what they fed him, how much he ate, if he liked the dishes. In the future, you can make sandwiches, buy fruit, chocolate. Of course, packaged portions are not very useful, but it is naive to believe that an already mature eighth grade student will buy this.
Even an adult is hard to remember boring and uninteresting information that cannot be put into practice. In elementary grades, it is recommended to complete the lessons with the child, while everything should be in a playful way. If you put it on the table and go to work, most likely, after twenty to thirty minutes, you will find the baby drawing in the notebook.
Do you yell at him to rewrite a rule he can't remember for the hundredth time? Maybe your child has a phenomenal auditory memory and should read those two unfortunate lines once so that he learns everything by heart. But you are constantly forced to do something that does not help you and get mad at him.
Next time try experimenting: ask him to repeat after you, and also tell him to read aloud.
It is bad if a school child sits constantly in front of a computer in the afternoon and goes to bed after ten. In fact, the memory of adults and children depends directly on the state in which they are currently. Remember how difficult it is to work on Mondays after a fun weekend. The same goes for babies' bodies.
All this affects children's memory is not the best way, but it can be fixed, if it is done correctly.
