How to Improve Baby's Memory
Tip 1: Repetition
The more familiar the object is, the easier it is for the baby to remember. The purpose of repetition is to deepen the baby's impression of things. By telling stories multiple times, the baby may naturally remember them. If the baby frequently sees certain objects, they will remember them. For example, if parents want the baby to recognize different colors, they don't need to use color cards for education. Instead, they can simply tell the baby the color of various objects they encounter in daily life, repeating the color several times until the baby remembers it.
For example, to teach the baby to recognize the color red, when they see red flowers, parents can say, "These red flowers are beautiful. They are red." When the baby is eating a big red apple, parents can say, "Baby, you are eating a big red apple, right?" In this way, the baby will quickly learn to recognize different colors.
Of course, the number of repetitions should be moderate, based on the baby's continued interest. When the baby becomes bored with the repetition or already remembers it, there is no need to repeat it anymore.
Tip 2: Visual Aid
Before the age of three, the baby's ability to remember words is weak, so emotional memory and visual memory are important. Therefore, when parents want the baby to remember nursery rhymes, stories, letters, numbers, and other abstract materials, they should use visual aids such as pictures, actions, or exaggerated voices. For example, parents can tell stories while performing actions, or turn the story into a comic strip and tell it to the baby while looking at the pictures. These methods help the baby remember the story.
For example, to help the baby remember the phone number at home, parents can turn the number into a melody or an interesting nursery rhyme, so that the baby can remember it quickly and firmly. When using visual aids, parents can also use the "association method" by picturing the content to be remembered as familiar images. For example, when remembering numbers, each number can be imagined as a familiar image, such as "1" looking like chopsticks; "7" looking like grandma's cane...
