Attention and Memory Training Should Start From Young
Cultivating your baby’s attention and memory since young will help your baby in his/her future path. So what exactly should be done?
1. A game that trains your baby’s attention
Colourful balls
You can hang some bright coloured balls on top of your baby’s cradle. Then swing it to attract the baby’s attention. Change the positions of the balls regularly to avoid your baby looking in the same direction for a prolonged time. This game helps to expand your baby’s field of vision, promoting the baby’s visual development and developing the baby’s attention.
2. Memory-building game
Find the toy
When your baby is in a good mood, let him play with his favourite toy first. Then, let him watch you hide the toy in a hiding spot. Carry the baby away from the spot where you have hidden the toy for a while and bring him back to the same place. Guide the baby to find the toy while saying to your baby: baby, where is the toy? The time interval of keeping your baby away can be based on the time needed for your baby to find the toy and gradually extend the time interval. This may be used to enhance your baby’s memory.
Remarks:
In order to help your baby’s visual development and cognition, you can bring your baby out for some outdoor activities. Let your baby be exposed to new things and approach different people, especially when it comes to communicating with other children. This can help in your baby’s hearing and visual development. Baby’s cognitive ability and memory can be improved as well with regular social contact.
