Your toddler breaks rules!
It’s not that he is testing you or is impulsive. It’s simply because their memory isn’t fully developed and they often tend to forget random things.
How to deal with it?
The more your child is exposed to something, the more solid his memories will become.
- Establish routines – Repetition doesn’t just apply to learning, but also to doing the same activity.
- Play memory games – Make up category games. This helps in recalling information.
- Walk down the memory lane – Recollect things that resonated your child strongly, any event or recreational activity they cherished. They will learn how to retell/replay stories
- Shut the eyes – Brain converts short term memory into long term memory when the person is asleep. It retains important stuff and empties the rest.
- Visual connection – Encourage imagination. Make the learning colorful. Color is something that gets through the low brain filter very well.
