Have you ever heard your child say, “I just can’t remember any of this,” and felt unsure what to do next?
In this episode, I unpack why so many students struggle with memory and what we, as parents and educators, can do to help. Because memory isn’t just about trying harder. It’s a skill that can be strengthened with the right strategies and support.
🎙️ In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ How memory works, including working memory, long-term memory and retrieval
✅ Why students often struggle to retain information, even when they’ve “revised”
✅ The impact of stress, sleep and nutrition on the brain’s ability to learn
✅ Practical memory-boosting strategies I use in academic coaching
Whether your child is revising for exams or just trying to keep up with day-to-day learning, this episode will help you understand how memory works and what you can do to support it in a way that builds confidence, independence and motivation.
