Childhood forgetfulness is a common occurrence, but despite this, this feature of a child can cause serious concern for his parents.

We invite you to figure out why children often lose their things.

Lack of memory development

Young children's memory is still developing, so they may have difficulty remembering where they left their things. The immaturity of the brain and memory processes is a problem that goes away as the baby gets older.

Distractibility

The world is full of things that arouse genuine interest in children. As a result, they often forget where they left this or that thing, because at that moment their memory was occupied with something completely different.

Lack of organization and planning

Often, children have poorly developed skills for organizing and planning. Not only do they not have a clear system for storing things, but they also lack an understanding of the importance of preserving them.
