Memory Loss in Children: Causes and Management
There is a popular notion that memory software is only for older adults who are experiencing memory loss as a result of their age. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Children, teens, and young adults can also experience memory loss. Nonetheless, the causes of memory loss in children are quite different from those in adults.


Vitamin Deficiency
If your child lacks Vitamin B12, they may suffer from memory loss or even dementia depending on how bad the deficiency is. This is because Vitamin B12 is necessary for the formation of myelin, a substance that protects the brain’s nerves and neurotransmitters. Since the recommended daily intake for Vitamin B12 is relatively low at 0.4mcg, very few children have this deficiency. If you suspect that your child may be suffering from the deficiency, include more animal protein foods such as poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy products in his or her diet, as they are all a rich source of Vitamin B12.

Seizures
Epilepsy and other seizure disorders are a leading cause of memory loss in children. Many children may lose verbal memory but still retain non-verbal memory. Seizures are quite difficult to treat as they may require surgery such as a temporal lobectomy. For cases that are not quite as drastic, the occurrences of seizures may be reduced if the child keeps his or her mind active with memory games such as those found in computer memory improvement programs.

Stress
Stress is just as much a cause of memory loss in children as it is in adults. Children today are experiencing stress and anxiety due to increased pressure from school work. It is possible to eliminate stress in children and improve memory through proper rest and nutrition. 

Concussions
Children regularly bang their heads when playing sports. According to Dr. Finnoff, a specialist at Mayo Clinic, these concussions sometimes lead to memory problems in children. To avoid such situations always ensure that your child wears a helmet whenever possible. Also, if they receive a concussion, ensure that they get treatment as soon as possible. After the child has recovered from the concussion, you can begin training his or her memory to get it back to its original strength.

Children can benefit from memory software just as much as adults can. It’s all a question of finding software that is suitable for children, and has age-appropriate exercises as well as entertaining and engaging games.
