How Important Are Childhood Memories?

Childhood memories are important to help kids develop their identities and even make better decisions later in life.

Children can't learn from their early memories.

Researchers figured out that children that are able to recall very vivid earlier memories tend to develop better certain skills.  

Being able to remember what you did and what you saw in the past and compare it with who you are now does not influence your personality development. 

Happy memories such as family gatherings in childhood or your parents reading to you at night help you to create a sense of value for family in the present. 

If you don’t remember much of your earlier ages, especially when you were a little kid, you’ll have problems later.

Before eighteen months the brain doesn’t have the capacity to hang on and consolidate those memories.

Parents can help children retaining memories and childhood memories influence your sense of identity, your social habits and values and beliefs.
