Nutrition plays a crucial role in addressing children’s poor memory. To enhance memory, parents are advised to incorporate high-quality protein sources—such as milk, eggs, and fish—into their children’s diet. These foods not only supply essential nutrients required for bodily functions but also effectively support brain development, thereby improving memory. Intake of trace elements and vitamins is equally important. Zinc, in particular, is a key nutrient for brain development and cognitive enhancement. Parents may appropriately supplement their children’s diet with zinc; balanced dietary planning and targeted nutritional support are vital for boosting children’s memory. We encourage parents to prioritize their children’s dietary health and provide adequate nutritional support for optimal growth and development.
