Every parent wants their child to be good in academics but sometimes due to the lack of memory and concentration the child does not perform very well at school. This can be very disappointed for the parents. For the lack of memory and concentration many factors are responsible. Some children do not get the proper environment while in others there can be the lack of balanced and healthy diets. Some other serious reasons can be depression, anxiety, use of certain medications and seizers. Here I am discussing about the some of the tips which can help you to improve the memory and concentration in the child:
• Let your child solve puzzles, crosswords and memory games. This will be the brain exercise and the concentration and memory of the child will be improved. Crossword puzzles can improve the attention while picture puzzles can improve the attention and concentration.
• Adequate sleep is also very much important for the good memory. With the proper sleep brain can relax properly and the functioning of the brain will also be improved.
• Physical exercise is important for the better functioning of the brain. Exercise supplies fresh oxygen to the brain which helps the brain to relax and unwind.
• Story telling can also be made more interesting and a good concentration booster by asking the related questions between the stories or let them recall a previous story. This will help to increase the concentration of the child and they can also become active listeners.
• Keep the environment free from distraction while the child is studying. Turn off the T.V. and also see that the other child is not playing in front of him. These things can distract the mind of the child and he will not be able to concentrate on the studies.
• Do not humiliate the child in front of others. It can be the loss of self esteem to the child and can affect the development of the child. Even if he is not succeeding keep motivating him and tell him that you have faith in him. Praise your child when he does something good this can be the best reward for the child and it can also motivate the positive thinking in him.
• Repeating the matter at home always reinforces the retention. So always repeat the things which he has studied in schools. By this way the things will be stored in the long term memory and the child will not forget it.
• The foods also play a very important role in the memory and concentration. Always keep in mind that the child does not skip his breakfast as this can also lead to the poor concentration at school. The diet of the child should be consisting of almost all the food groups that are cereals and pulses, sugars, milk and milk products, fruits and vegetables and nuts and oils. Almonds and walnuts are very good for boosting the functioning of the brain. So give them to the child to increase his efficiency.
