Doing homework is inefficient, and you can't remember the knowledge points after several times;

I just memorized the words and forgot them all in a few days. ...

After many families' children go to primary school, parents begin to complain that it is not that the children are absent-minded, but that the children always can't remember, and the pinyin results that have been taught many times will still be misspelled. What is this, and how to guide children?

In fact, children don't concentrate on their studies and always forget what they have recited. It is because some functions of the child's brain lack exercise, which leads to the child's inability to use these functions, with little effect.

Today, Mama Lan Lan will share with you how to fully mobilize the memory and attention functions of children's brains.

Pay attention to the training of memory

As a basic psychological process, memory is closely related to other behavioral activities. Just as we can lead a normal life at ordinary times, it is because we remember past experiences and can distinguish and confirm things around us through memory. Once our memory disappears, a normal life will become a luxury.

The analogy for children's learning is the same.

If children can keep the knowledge points told by the teacher in mind and use the texts and words memorized freely, where is the difficulty of learning? On the other hand, children have a vague memory of what the teacher said, and forget what they recited in an instant. Then, when a child has to do homework or take an exam, memory can't provide him with any experience in solving problems.

Therefore, in order to cultivate a child with efficient learning ability, we must first pay attention to the cultivation of children's memory.

I remember when the giant panda was young, I bought him a matching game, which is also called a memory game. This memory test game is very popular in America, and many children played it when they were young.

That is, put all the cards face down at random first, and then let the first child turn over two cards first. If it's the same pattern, you can take it away if you match it successfully, and count it as one point. Then the next person flips two cards and matches them. In this way, we turn the cards in turn to see who is more successful in the end.

This game is a test of children's memory, and children need to remember the position of each card in advance, so as to quickly match successfully.

Besides this popular American game, I recommend two ways to exercise your memory:

1

Noun relay game

All the people involved in the game sit around a table, choose one as the referee and report a noun first. The first player first says the noun given by the referee and then adds a new word; The next player needs to repeat the first two nouns and add a new word.

In this way, the referee is responsible for recording all the words until someone makes a mistake and the game is declared over. The second round begins, the loser in the last round is the referee, and then the word game continues.

In fact, this game is to exercise children's instant memory ability. In order to remember more nouns, children can use image thinking to remember and contact the nouns they have heard before with images or plots.

For example, "monkey", "teacup", "rainbow" and "butterfly", children can imagine "monkey holding a teacup to see the rainbow in the sky and butterflies flying in the air".

When children learn to remember things independently through image memory, these things will become deeper and more difficult to forget in their minds.

Tabular memory method

Some children can't remember things. Parents can make a time memory table with their children and divide the day into several parts to remember. For example, from 8: 00 a.m. to 8: 00 p.m., we can divide 12 hour into four segments, each with 3 hours.

When a child does something, we can remind him to take notes on the form. Then before going to bed every day, parents will consciously remind their children to remember what they did today.

When children can quickly recall the life of the day, we can make it more difficult for them to recall the life experience of the day before or even the day before yesterday.

Different from the instant memory method above, this exercise is a long-term memory of children, and it also requires children to sort out the events themselves and learn to allocate time more reasonably on this basis.

02

It is important to cultivate concentration.

Some children are always absent-minded in class and cannot concentrate on listening to the teacher for 45 minutes; Go home to do homework and dawdle, fiddling with this and that; I can't sit still when I start doing manual labor. I'll run around for a while ...

Children with poor concentration are always unable to participate in learning well. In just one class, what they have learned will be greatly discounted compared with others. In the long run, children are always procrastinating and half-hearted, and their learning efficiency will be very low and their interest in learning will become less and less.

Faced with such a situation, I think the most effective way is to train children's concentration. If the teacher is prone to desertion in class and always can't concentrate on the class, then it is no use for the child to have a good memory.

Here, I found two effective ways for you to exercise your child's attention:

1

Distinguish words

This method can be carried out at any time, because it does not need any props, and it is very convenient to play at home and in the car.

Parents should first make rules of the game for their children, such as raising their left hand when they hear words related to electricity and raising their right hand when they hear words related to learning. Then, parents begin to report the words one by one, and children should listen attentively and distinguish what each word is related to.

After children are proficient in playing, parents can increase rules to improve the difficulty of the game, such as raising the left hand for two-word words, raising the left hand for animals and so on.

This kind of game can easily arouse children's interest, stimulate their fighting spirit, and let them concentrate on listening to every word reported by their parents and try not to make mistakes.

2

Looking for differences

Because children are mainly attending classes at school, the second method I give is to train children to concentrate on "listening".

We can prepare several groups of very similar sentences and tell them to children sentence by sentence. After the children listen carefully, let them say the differences in each group of sentences.

For example:

A. I have a beautiful wish, that is, to be a painter when I grow up and draw the most beautiful pictures in the world for my mother.

B: I have a good wish to be a painter when I grow up and draw the best pictures in the world for my mother.

At first, it may be difficult for children to tell the difference between two sentences; After a few more attempts, the child can mobilize his attention and carefully distinguish the parts of the sentence. Just like the above two sentences, one is the difference between beauty and beauty, and the other is the difference between the most beautiful and the best.

The improvement of memory and concentration is never achieved overnight. Parents need to urge their children to practice for a long time in order to maintain the activity of these two functions of the brain. In order to let children learn and absorb knowledge better, parents can exercise their children's memory and concentration from an early age.

Of course, in addition to the training methods I mentioned in the article, there are many interesting ways to exercise children's two abilities.

The "DK Thinking Training 3 in 1 Package" published by British DK Company provides 200 memory exercises, skills and strategies, as well as more than 1000 interesting thinking exercises and a series of games, so that children can train their brains from games and improve their memory and concentration.
