My son is in the 5th grade and is having a horrible time remembering things. I am looking for different methods for helping him with memory improvement. I know they are out there, I just was not sure if they would also work for children. It is not so much he can not remember simple things like taking out the garbage or feeding and walking the dog, but retaining information from class that day. Things like how to work that math problem, what was he suppose to write about tonight in his journal or when was that book report due. Are there any methods that he would benefit from?
