Helpful tips to improve your kid’s memory

Memorizing is one of the hardest tasks of students. It’s very hard to memorize terms and their definitions. Remembering is a challenging part of studying and learning. It’s one way of enhancing the brain. If your child finds difficulty in remembering important data or information, your child needs your help. Improve your kid’s memory with the following tips.


  1. Soak five almonds in water overnight. Given them to your kid for breakfast.
  2. Include ghee (clarified butter) in your child’s diet to make his/her memory better.
  3. Include black pepper in suitable recipes to improve memory.
  4. Let your child drink plenty of water as this is a good way in improving your child’s memory.
  5. Teach your child deep breathing techniques that could lead to your child’s memory improvement. Let your child practice a 10-minute deep breathing daily. This technique also improves all functions of the brain.
  6. Develop strategies in memorizing like mnemonics. These are memory aids that help you make a connection between what you know and what you need to remember. Under mnemonics, you can employ memory strategies like acronyms, acrostics, poems and songs, and keyword.
    • Acronyms: An acronym is an abbreviation for a set of words. This is good in helping your child remember names of organizations and places. Ask your child if there’s a list of vocabulary or figures to learn for tomorrow and help them come up with an acronym. This is effective for a memory test.
    • Acrostics: You take the first letter of each of the words in the list you want to remember, and then make a sentence with words starting with those letters. This is very useful in remembering longer sets of words.
    • Poems and songs: It is easier to remember rhyming things. Teach her to memorize to the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”.
    • Keyword: In this strategy, take the word you want o learn, find a similar sounding word or spelling but make sure you can picture it in your head, and come up with a sentence that includes the keyword and the meaning you’re trying to remember.
Doing these things for child memory development will raise the level of your child’s memory. Hence, his/ her grades will be better as well as the overall performance at school.

Spanking Children: Don't Do It, Ever!

Image
  "We really need to avoid physical punishment because we know that can be harmful," said Dr. Jennifer Shu, a pediatrician. Twenty years after urging caution among parents who choose to discipline their children with spankings, the American Academy of Pediatrics has updated its stance. Now, its overwhelming consensus for parents: Do not do it. In a new policy statement issued earlier this month, the group warns that "Aversive disciplinary strategies, including all forms of corporal punishment and yelling at or shaming children, are minimally effective in the short-term and not effective in the long-term. With new evidence, researchers link corporal punishment to an increased risk of negative behavioral, cognitive, psychosocial, and emotional outcomes for children." The advisory for parents and adults "to avoid physical punishment and verbal abuse of children" comes at a time when support of such discipline is on the decline. As the AAP detailed in its pol...

Collaboration Between General and Special Education Teachers

Image
INTRODUCTION  Historically, teachers have worked in isolation--one teacher to a classroom. As children with disabilities entered the public schools in the 1970s, they were taught in separate classrooms with their own teachers. Over the past 25 years, these students have slowly moved into the flow of the regular classroom, thus the use of the term "mainstreaming." However, students were mainstreamed for selected subjects or parts of the day; they were not considered part of the typical class. Now the philosophy is to include all students in the same class, which has brought about teams of general education and special education teachers working collaboratively or cooperatively to combine their professional knowledge, perspectives, and skills. The biggest change for educators is in deciding to share the role that has traditionally been individual: to share the goals, decisions, classroom instruction, responsibility for students, assessment of student learning, problem so...

Why You Shouldn't Let Kids Use iPads

Image
  Surely you've given a bunch of thought as to how to raise your own children in this day and age. Especially with technology, so much has changed since our childhoods in the 90s or before... Well, here's one question: Would you introduce the technological wonder/heroin that is the iPod and iPad to your kids? Steve Jobs Apple CEO wouldn't, and for good reason too. In a Sunday article, New York Times reporter Nick Bilton said he once assumingly asked Steve Jobs, “So your kids must love the iPad?” Jobs responded: “They haven't used it. We limit how much technology our kids use at home.” Especially in Silicon Valley, there is actually a trend of tech execs and engineers who shield their kids from technology. They even send their kids to non-tech schools like the Waldorf School in Los Altos, where computers aren't found anywhere because they only focus on hands-on learning. There is a quote that was highlighted in The Times by Chris Anderson, CEO of 3D Robotics and a ...
