How to train the memory of a 2-year-old baby? Parents and friends must be curious to know. Below I will share with you some memory training methods for a 2-year-old baby.
Recommended training method for 2-year-old baby’s memory:
1. This is mine
The baby has his own special towel , toothbrush, tooth cup and toothpaste. Put the baby's utensils with those of mom and dad, and let the baby take the utensils by himself every time he washes. When switching to towels, toothbrushes, and toothpaste, choose items with different colors, shapes, or images from the original ones. Show the new appliances to your baby and let him compare them with the old ones. If your baby can't speak for a while, you can take out old utensils and let your baby compare them. When washing in the future, see if the baby can correctly take out his new utensils, and let him recall the differences between the old and new utensils.
Babies have a strong sense of possession of things with "autonomy". Using the baby's independent awareness for training, the baby will consciously strengthen its memory.
2. Naming Ceremony
Line up the baby’s favorite toys, hold a solemn naming ceremony, and let the baby name them. You can start with three toys and gradually add more toys. After a period of time, you discuss with the baby, you name them, and then let the baby repeat them.
In the baby's eyes, toys are all partners, and they are named anthropomorphically. He takes it for granted, because the baby has a name, how can the partner not have a name? And of course he is more excited when he names it. It doesn't matter if the names he chooses sound vague, incomprehensible, and varied; the main training lies in recalling the names he chooses.
3. Make friends
Let your baby make some friends in the community. After making friends, ask your baby some questions: What is the child’s name? What toys are they bringing? With him (her) Is it grandpa or grandma (grandpa or grandma, dad or mom?)? What did you play together? Wait. Of course, social issues should also be guided positively. For example, mention a game that babies and children play very happily, and ask: Are you having fun with your children? What are you going to play with your children next time? etc.
This game can also train your baby’s communication awareness and communication skills.
4. Doing homework
To help your baby develop the habit of active memory, you must give him "homework" to remember, that is, inform him in advance. For example, before taking the baby out for a walk, grandpa, grandma or others at home express envy and ask the baby to go home and tell them what they saw. The requirements must be specific, single, and the instructions must be clear - see if there are flowers under the big tree, whether the small table in the garden has been installed, etc. The homework develops from one item to several items, and the memory object gradually expands from one location to multiple locations.
Proposing various memory tasks to the baby will stimulate the baby's sense of independence and pride, and will strengthen the baby's memory habits.
5. Tell stories
Tell your baby a simple picture story, and make a request in advance: You will tell it to your mother later. Combined with the pictures, you repeat some key language and action descriptions, and when you repeat them, you can let the baby repeat them. Then let your baby tell you a story with the help of pictures, and give appropriate reminders when he has difficulties. If what he tells is inconsistent with the book, don't correct him, affirm his reasonable creation; if it is unreasonable and the story cannot continue, help him "turn a corner" and continue it appropriately.
If you can help the baby record it and then play it to him and his relatives and friends with an attitude of appreciation, it will give the baby a sense of accomplishment and make him happy with this game.
6. Before visiting guests
Before going out to visit the guests, give your baby a task: remind you to bring a certain gift when you go out. Place the gift in a less conspicuous place, and then lead the baby to do the busy preparations for going out with you, and see if the baby can remember the reminder task in the end.
Let the baby prepare for the busy trip together, which diverts the baby's attention from the gifts and arouses the baby's excitement. This is a big test for the baby's memory. This game also has a certain effect on correcting the habit of forgetfulness and carelessness.
7. Guess
Hide the toys that the baby is familiar with in a cardboard box, or in a container that the baby can see. Can you describe the memory characteristics related to the toy? For example, we bathed it yesterday and a certain child wanted to play with it? Let the baby guess what toy is hidden inside.
This game allows babies to shift from instant memory to short-term memory and long-term memory. It not only trains memory, but also promotes language understanding.
8. Happy Theater
Choose a story your baby likes and let your baby perform it. See if the baby can express the main content. Of course, you have to be the prompter and on-site director. While recording the amount of memory he has completed, be careful not to deny your baby's creation of the plot. Don't stifle your baby's creativity and imagination just because it's memory training.
This game stimulates memory and imagination and can develop the baby's habit of self-expression.
9. What’s extra?
Give the baby a set of cards with similar items. These items should be within the scope of his cognition, such as clothing, fruit, furniture, etc. A set of five, six, seven or eight pictures varies, depending on the baby's ability. Let the baby talk about what they are, such as: clothes, pants, skirts, etc. Then let the baby turn his back and you mix in another card of the same type to see if the baby can point out what is extra.
Using categorizing materials to train memory not only strengthens memory ability, but also allows babies to form a categorizing way of thinking.
10. And, what else?
Give your baby some real objects, such as apples and pears, and ask him to talk about other fruits. Further games can expand the scope of association, for example, give him a bowl and a spoon, and ask him to talk about what else he needs when eating. If he not only names chopsticks and plates, but also associates bibs, cups, etc., then praise him!
Association is an effective method of memory. This game helps babies master this from an early age. Memory tool.
Recommended two methods for training the memory of 2-year-old babies:
Retelling stories
Parents tell the story to their children, and ask the children to retell it after listening. Children retell at least 50% of the story. If the child does not achieve it, he should be trained again.
Say different sounds
Record at least 4 different sounds in your home, such as the dripping sound of the faucet in the kitchen or the sound of the door opening and closing. Play the tape to your child and ask him to name each sound. If he can name it easily, ask him to guess where the sounds are coming from.
Telling stories
Choose a bedtime story that your child likes to hear. You read it once first, and then ask your child to read it to you. Remind him that it doesn't require him to know the meaning of the sentence or say every word correctly; he can use pictures as clues or retell the story. This game can improve memory skills.
City ABC
When shopping with your child, let him take the Chinese character card and look for matching Chinese characters on street signs, store signs, bulletin boards and even grocery stores. Once he had it, he counted how many pairs he found. This game can improve Chinese character recognition and memory skills.
Name the days
Write down each day of the week in order on a piece of paper, point to them while writing, say their names, and tell the child that today is Sunday a few, and then ask him to point out the name of that day and the name of the next day. This game strengthens date understanding and improves memory, sequencing and concentration skills.
Graphic Restoration
First prepare some small sticks, and let the children watch them put the sticks into a shape. After the shape is assembled, let the child watch it for 15 seconds, and then dismantle the shape. Drop it and let the child recover within 30 seconds.
Say the names in turn. Arrange the six things on the table in order, let the children look at them for dozens of seconds, then cover them up and ask the children to name the six things in turn from memory.
Distinguish colors. Ask the children to close their eyes and tell them the color of the clothes, hats, shoes and socks you are wearing.
If you also close your eyes and tell the color of the clothes, shoes and socks he is wearing, it will arouse the child's greater interest in this game.
Find items. After hiding 8 different small items in front of the children, let the children find these items one by one.
Look at pictures and talk. Put 15 pictures with different contents on the table, ask the children to look at them for a while, and then cover them. Ask the children to describe the content of the pictures they saw as accurately as possible.
When the plane lands? Put a large piece of paper on the wall as a map, and draw a large area on the paper as the "airport". Then make an "airplane" out of paper, write the child's name, and put a pushpin on it. Let the child stand a few or more than ten steps away from the map. First, ask him to observe the terrain. Then, blindfold him, ask him to approach the map and land the "plane" exactly on the "airport".
