Top tips:
It doesn’t matter if your child doesn't remember everything – If they get stuck you can give them clues, for example; it's something blue, or it's very soft.
You can support their memory in other ways too. For example, While you’re out for a walk, see if they can remember what they had for breakfast or ask them to tell you their favourite story.
