A good state of memory for a child is extremely important, since it is one of the components of the development of a child’s intelligence. At first, children can only memorize some information, then they begin to reproduce it, and much later, to systematize it. Given these factors, parents should pay very serious attention to the development of the memory of their baby. Currently, there is a whole range of effective exercises that can allow your child to spend time not only with pleasure, but also with benefit.
The main stages of the development of memory in preschool children as they grow up
1. From birth to year. During this period, the baby remembers some movements and learns to reproduce them independently. It is especially good in moments of training with a child to repeat podeshki, accompanied by movements of arms and legs. During this period, emotionality is very important.
2. From 1 year to 2 years. The child begins to perceive and understand the images. He easily distinguishes native people, he can even show them in photos. During this period, the nervous system is actively developing, which can not affect the memory. The baby begins to walk, to learn the world it becomes much easier.
3. From 2 to 4 years. The baby is actively developing and motor, and figurative memory. He begins to think logically. During this period, speech develops, which helps to improve memory.
4. From 4 to 6 years. During this period, children remember the information well and are already actively learning to systematize it. Everything is interesting for them, everything is stored in their memory. Moreover, this process occurs involuntarily.
At any age you need to develop the memory of the child, to offer him for this variety of exercises. But for classes, you need to create special conditions that will help effective development.
- It is best to conduct such classes in the morning, because during this period, memorization occurs more efficiently, there is still no special load by the impressions that by the evening accumulate in large numbers.
- The kid should be interested in the lesson, he should get carried away with your exercises. Turn everything into a game, in preschool age only this method will be effective.
- Do not forget that first of all you do all this for the child, and not for yourself.
- A child should not be tired or upset.
- Occupation should be carried out no more than 15 minutes. And with some babies, especially young ones, it will take 5 minutes to change the type of activity.
Several exercises for the development of the memory of a child of preschool age:
1. Find the item. Put some toys in front of the kid. Ask him to remember the order of their location. Ask the child to close their eyes or leave the room. At this point, remove the toy. When the baby opens his eyes, let him remember what item is missing. You can swap toys, and your child should restore them in order;
2. Tap on a toy drum or clap a melody. Let the child repeat the motive;
3. Say 3 any words, for example, "water", "mom", "fence". The baby must repeat them 3 times. Then name another batch of words, for example, "sun", "flower", "table". The child repeats them also three times. Then he should name the first two words from the initial batch of words (“water”, “mother”) and the last word from the second group (“table”);
4. Learn poems, tongue twisters, proverbs with your child.
Many children are restless and inconsiderate. This can also have a significant impact on the process of memorizing information. During class, consider this factor.
The older a child becomes, the easier it is for him to memorize a large amount of information. A good memory will help your child at school during school and later in life.
