Parents need to help children prove their
memorizing ability through games.
When mothers lull children with songs, they
can stop crying. Children can feel unpleasant or howl if strange people hold
them. However, they will feel funny again when their parents comfort them. The psychological
developing doctor - Judith Hudson of Rutgers University, New Jersey State, USA
explains this thing. He states that in about the first 2 months after being
born, children can recognize face, voice, habitual sound. Consequently, they
will feel secure and pleasant when they are embraced by their mother, listen to
habitual melody or smell scent from their parents. According to Dr. Judith’s
consideration, children have memorizing ability in the first month of life, so
parents can prepare children for a foundation of good memory in the early days.

The things that children memorize at the
beginning of life play an important part to their future. Memorizing ability
will help children store a large amount of information from the around world.
This is an important hyphen in process of inquiring with 3 steps: Concentrate –
Memorize – Handle situation. To have good memory, children must have the high
level concentration to recognize things and phenomena, after that they will
arrange and analyze, handle situations. At the beginning of life, children will
take advantage of time to observe the around world and bring important
information into their memory. Providing nutrients to help children have good
eyesight in this stage is the first thing that parents should pay attention to.
The more clearly children see, the better they will receive and communicate
information.
According to professor and doctor Morale’s
research, to help eyesight develop well, parents should provide children with
the correct content of DHA continuously from pregnancy. If parents maintain
providing the content of DHA and ARA correctly, children’s eyesight will be
better, equivalent to seeing more than 1.5 lines on the standard eyesight
measuring table when they are 12 months old.
Another research of children at 18 months
old of scientific researchers, the leader is Dr. Eileen E. Birch, who belongs
to the organization of researching eyesight in America. This research was
published on Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology in 2000 and it also
showed that children who drink milk with the correct content of DHA
continuously in 18 months can develop intelligence (MDI) higher than children
drinking milk with DHA less than 7 grades. MDI index evaluates abilities such as:
memorizing, handling situations, distinguishing, language and social skills of
children. Many other scientific researches proved that DHA is a necessary
nutriment for children’s brain, eyesight and total health. World Health
Organization (FAO/WHO) also advises parents to provide the correct content of
DHA 17mg DHA/ 100kcal for small children, 75mg a day for children from 1 year
old to over.
Besides providing nutrients to develop
children’s brain, parents help children practice to prove maximum memorizing ability
through games. You can refer to these following games:
Play with sound
According to psychotherapy professor -
doctor Randi Fredricks of San Jose, California, sounds, especially sounds with
good melody or music will help newborn babies develop brain quickly because
they want to find out the around world through listening and seeing.
Tintinnabulum is a simple toy that newborn babies like to play. When you wear
children’s hand or foot with bracelet that has tintinnabulation, they don’t
know source of that sound at the beginning. However, they are very interested
and care it. At some moment, you will be very surprised because children recognize
the cause of that sound and they will move their hand or foot to create the
funny sounds. This method will help children memorize reason and result of
things.

Look for toys for children under 12 months old
Parents can hide toys and encourage
children to look for them in order to help children increase the ability of
memorization and consideration. The way of playing is very simple. Parents
should let children see toys, after that put toys on the floor, take a piece of
cloth to cover toys and then encourage them to look for their toys.

Memorization is an important step in
children’s learning process. It is the result of concentrated ability and
premise for the ability of analyzing and handling situation. Children’s memory
can prove effectively and maximum if parents apply correct method and have a
suitable diet like things that Nobel used to say: “Genius only has 1 % of
inborn factor; the rest is 99 % of practicing.”
