How can you turn 'forgetting' moments into opportunities for teaching memory strategies?
Every time your child forgets something, it's a chance to teach them a tool for remembering, rather than just solving the immediate problem. You can model good memory habits and introduce techniques like 'chunking' (grouping information), using associations, or actively repeating information. This empowers them with skills they can use for a lifetime.
Action
When giving instructions, ask your child to repeat them back to you. For older children, suggest they write down important tasks in a small notebook or on a whiteboard. Make it a game!
