Many parents suffer from their children forgetting their lessons, and also when they ask them for something, they return to ask again what was asked of them, so the parents grieve a lot and begin to search for treatment and ask doctors and non-doctors to find a solution to get their children out of the scourge of oblivion, and suspicions arise that those who suffer from forgetfulness are themselves Elderly people, is it possible that our children will be infected with it? However, the scourge of forgetfulness and poor memory occurs to young people as well, but there are reasons and methods of treatment to get rid of them, which we will discuss.
Reasons for forgetfulness in children
- In studying, the causes of forgetfulness and poor memory are due to lack of focus when studying or similar information.
- Malnutrition, especially lack of omega-3, iron, potassium, sulfur, phosphorus, salts and some vitamins such as: B, A, E.
- Obesity and eating too much, especially right before studying, as the digestion process needs a large amount of blood, and therefore if the child eats food immediately before eating, the blood flow to the brain will decrease and thus will lead to lethargy, laziness, fatigue and lack of focus in studying, and thus weakness in memory will occur.
- Too much watching TV and its risks of distraction and lack of focus, and therefore the child will be constantly distracted while studying because he is attached to TV programs, which leads to a lack of information received by the brain and a lack of focus on it, which leads to forgetfulness.
- The child's lack of security and confidence in those around him, and constant anxiety for reasons such as family problems, which weaken his memory.
- The pollution surrounding us is a cause of forgetfulness, whether it is dust pollution or radiation from phones and noise in general.
- Some brain injuries and tumors that may cause memory impairment and forgetfulness.
- In the study, relying on memorization without understanding, that is why he cannot link each piece of information to the other, while understanding makes him retrieve the information easily when he needs it.
- Infection with any organic disease such as: colds, high temperature, colic pain, headaches and other symptoms that hinder concentration.
- Hunger and physical stress.
