VERY FORGETFUL TEENS OR PR-TEENS

Your DD sounds like me right now! LOL

Talk to her about it and ask her how she feels about school and what’s happening in her life. Usually when we are juggling 5 balls at the same time, what we had for breakfast yesterday is not important.

Forgetfulness can occur during hormonal changes and is quite common. Try not to focus on. Suggest she carry a small note book to jot things down that are important for her to remember. It should pass as time goes by. If not, see a doctor. Note that she says her friends are going through the same thing? All of them perhaps the same age group ! So she’s not the only one.

Skippy - my dd is not undergoing any sort of hormonal changes. No sign yet at all. Could it be information overload in their brains? With academic emphasis in our sch system - i think their young brains just cannot cope!

hi skippy, you are in teenage too ?


Yes, she and in fact her classmates too, have a notebook to write down all the homework, things to remember, things to buy etc because all of them are as equally forgetful. hahah

I think its overload of information and matter need time to get use. Hopefully in year 2, they are more or less getting use and won't be so forgetful. She was telling me, she did not see this type of symptoms for her seniors (year 3 and above).

It could be a case of them still adjusting & adapting to the new environment. Or it could be that they have so many things happening around them within a day, they hardly remember the ‘unimportant’ things. Sometimes, they also forget the ‘important’ things!

Sorry Westmom

I thought your DD was teen or pre teens and hormonal changes can cause these, I was looking at the heading which said teens

Daisyt - no but raised a couple and have teens in the family, they are adorable, love this age of discovery and identify crisis - very amusing to see them develop so rapidly, taking on strong opinions of their own, calling their parents 'old' etc LOL.

I find teens both fascinating and interesting and always have time for a chat with them. Interesting how they give their parents one word answers but with an aunt, they spill the beans !
