REMEMBERING

 
 It is helpful for children to get practice at remembering 
 numbers and other information.                   

 Examples of the type of information which we commonly   try to remember are:
​

• Telephone numbers: when children are young, you might ask them to repeat back to you 2 or 3 numbers in a row; as they get older they should be able to repeat back longer strings, and even to remember some numbers such as their own phone number and those of their grandparent.
• Addresses: help the children to learn their own address and others such as their grandparents
• Car registration numbers
• Birthdays: children can learn the birth dates in your family, and also those of other relatives and friends
• Times of special events.
