In order for memory and attention from an early age to develop fully, it is necessary to regularly engage in special developmental exercises with a baby. The first exercises may seem completely simple, but they are very useful. Consider some of them.
Show the child a toy, and then hide it with him. From the very beginning, the child should form an idea of the constancy of the object, that is, the baby should look for the subject that was hidden under him. Next, you should complicate the exercise, and show, consider and hide two objects (you can toys) and so, playing, invite the baby to find them. This exercise resembles “hide and seek”, and after it is completely mastered, you can proceed with the use of cards. Consider the two pictures, and then turn them over and ask the baby, where, for example, a cat is depicted, and where the dog? And the child must indicate the desired card. Such a simple exercise allows you to effectively train the memory and attention of the baby.
At the next stage, you should ask the “baby” to bring any object from the next room. It can be anything, the main thing is that the baby understands what exactly they want from him and brought the right thing. And do not be afraid to attract the baby to household assistance. This will teach your child to order and, imitating you, he will learn many useful and necessary things.
And another interesting and useful exercise for the development of memory and attention in babies. Take a request to the baby who will consist of several consistent steps. For example, ask him to bring a cube and put it in a box. If the development of speech allows, you can ask the baby to repeat the task in words and then make it. This will allow the development of the child at the same time.
