Does your child often have moments of forgetfulness? Is he/she lost most of the time or misses their important class tests? If the answer is ‘yes’, then no need to worry, because following these simple tricks would definitely help your child embolden their memory. A strong memory plays an integral part in a child’s overall cognitive development.

In today’s busy life, it is completely normal for any being, of any age, to have a fragile memory, and at times it is also quite frustrating. Children have a tendency to jiggle their mind often from one activity to another; hence, it is natural that they cannot concentrate on one activity for a long time. To accomplish career goals, a student needs to excel in his/her studies, and this can be achieved through a healthy and strong brain. There are subjects where students require a massive amount of memorizing like mugging up periodic tables in chemistry to learning trigonometry/algebraic formulas in mathematics and many other facts and figures.

We bring you some of the best techniques that will help in improving your child’s memory. Let’s delve to know more about these simple strategies that will cement information into your long-term memory.

 Say goodbye to sugar consumption

Well it would be a bit difficult for a child to completely bid-adieu to sugar as it is every child’s favourite. But we can try and encourage them to lessen the intake. Many researches have shown that a high diet of sugary foods can increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease in children. High processed sugars found in fruit juices and canned packs can lower the brain functioning.

Try to concentrate

Paying attention to a particular task is a necessary element of memory. Try to be more active in receiving information and keep your study place free of distractions like no TV, playing station or music should be there. Though, it can be bit challenging to get rid of various diversions and distractions, but ensure to keep aside some time of the day, where you can be alone and immerse your mind in work.

Cramming won’t help

Feeding and memorizing study lessons in one marathon session will not boost memory rather it might exacerbate confusion because you are not giving adequate time to your brain to process information. Therefore, many studies have shown that to keep up the memory retention, it is advisable for students to study lessons regularly at frequent intervals than cramming all lessons at one go.

Mnemonic devices

Mnemonic devices are a unique way for students to help them recall information. It is simply a technique used by students to remember information and prevent it from getting vanished from mind. For instance, you can paste a small slip, diagram or chart near your study table with key words or terms associated with your lesson/chapter and are important for your class test or exam. By seeing that term you would be able to recall the entire concept or definition.

Mind boosting exercises

Many of you might be interested in playing puzzles, crosswords, chess and some other brain boosting games. These mind-exercises are a good way to keep your memory sharp and active. Moreover, helps in memorizing facts and numbers easily. These are better alternatives to watching TV non-stop or indulge indefinitely on play stations. A robust memory is an important asset for every child to improve their study goals and by making these simple tweaks in your daily study regime, you can strengthen your memory, enhance recalling and bolster memory retention.
