NOTICE AND REMEMBER IMPORTANT DETAILS
Teach your child to notice specific details. He must develop a sense of situational awareness so that he can describe the perpetrator to the police after the incident and report important details.
– Put all relevant details in a certain order: appearance (from top to bottom), gender, race, approximate age, height, build.
– Characteristic features – birthmarks, scars, gold teeth.
– Time and place of the incident.
– Exact words and phrases spoken by the offender.
– Number, color, and make of the offender’s car.
Write down as many details as you can from your child’s words while they are still fresh in his memory, even before the police arrive.
A good practice for memory development is to ask the child to remember as many details as possible in the appearance of the person or the appearance of the car in thirty seconds. When the time passes, have him remember as much as he can, and you write it down. Train your child to report information in a strictly defined order. This will help him remember more details.
Another good exercise is to remember the license plate numbers of cars you meet on the road. Let the child choose and remember one of the numbers, and you write it down. After two or three minutes the child should remember this number.

How do you learn to pay attention to details?
**Often people say, “Didn’t you notice that one got a haircut/too dyed/too in a new dress?” or “There’s a new store opened on the corner about a month ago, didn’t you notice it?” etc.
How do you learn to notice details? Is it necessary?
In order not to miss the little things, to become attentive and observant will have to try, you can’t do it in a week. I can give you these tips:
- The ability to stop the monologues and dialogues in his head, to quench his emotions . If you’re walking down the street and think only about their problems, planning to do or say, then what business will be a passerby to the opening of what store, if he mentally prepares for an alarming situation? That’s why calm for attention is important. But the reverse is also true: a person in a stressful situation is calmer if, during a conflict, he concentrates on the interior, clothing or non-verbal reactions of the interlocutor maintains equanimity. It works like this: you get yelled at, and you look at the objects and notice everything. Emotions are not switched on at all, I tested it myself.
- Training should be regular, on a convenient system . If you don’t work as a video surveillance operator, you won’t be paying attention to people’s behavior. You’ll have to keep your focus on your surroundings somehow, artificially stimulating your interest. That’s what I did: I read books on facial expressions and gestures, and then I started playing Dr. Lightman from Fool Me. It’s more interesting than just watching. There are also games to develop observation: look at a pile of objects on the table, and, quickly covering the “still life” with a cloth, describe what you saw; open a more complicated picture in a book, a minute later close it and describe it. And you definitely shouldn’t be sitting on the phone in lines or on public transportation, you should be observing, trying to guess who is who, at what bus stop or what official you’re coming to see.
- The detail is not enough to notice, it must somehow be interpreted. And this is where knowledge becomes power. If you are not interested in fashion, the description of other people’s clothes will be cunny: “short pants” instead of capri pants, breeches or shorts; “little car” instead of Dao Matiz. Profession also helps: accountants are good at remembering numbers; knitters the style and pattern of a hat. You won’t remember and will stop your gaze at what is uninteresting and unrelated to your life.
I personally believe that such details as you listed they are not necessary for me, so I do not notice them either, if the truth dramatically shaved head, for example, then, of course, pay attention) But I am pleased to notice a change in people’s thinking – it is interesting to see how people change internally))
The way I see it, you pay enough attention to what is important to you personally, and that is why things that don’t matter to you personally slip through the cracks. If you are passionate about something important to you, a hobby, for example, or a job you love, or a person you love. Therefore, based on this premise, I understand that in order to start paying attention to some little things (if you really need it), you need to make these little things important in your own eyes.
How do you do this?
Consciously give attention and time to such things. For example, a person comes in, you look up at him or her and evaluate. You consciously remember what clothes the person wore today and, for example, write in your mind an evaluation – “today he was so charming in a dark cardigan, it suits him very well” or “yesterday he came in with an unironed shirt, what would that mean?”)))
At one time I tried to teach my colleagues to remember faces through associative series – to ask themselves what animal, bird, actor, etc. the person looked like. True I remembered myself rather by facial expressions and gestures “what a charming smile he has” (I really recognized the person by his smile), “when he walks in, you can immediately recognize him by his gait”, etc.
Go ahead, practice paying attention to little things!
I, too, suffer from inattention. I get upset because of it. Happens that suddenly I find some unknown detail in a familiar object. Or on the road, which has long been walking, I notice something new to me, although it has always been there. If my inattention concerns people I know, then it is especially unpleasant, because some people are offended if you do not notice a new hairstyle, an update, a piece of jewelry.
Knowing my inattention, I began to look more closely at everything on purpose. A kind of game with myself. On the way to work or home, if I am not in a hurry, I try to look at buildings, trees, people better. I do it from the point of view of what is special, what details should be highlighted, in order to be able to describe or recognize something or someone, what makes a person stand out, different. And after some time to recollect what you have seen, to try to restore the image and to describe it in words. The next day check whether you have remembered everything correctly. When you check it, you are sure to see some more details that you did not notice before. That’s how you practice. Being attentive, noticing details, little things – it’s all achieved by training. Get used to playing this game, and before you know it, all sorts of details will start to be seen and remembered on their own without strain.
Details must be able to notice at least in order not to get into a stupid situation or not to be considered among your friends as a person inattentive and indifferent to people. You can’t explain to everyone that it’s not because of your indifference, but because of the peculiarities of your attention. All the same, few people will understand and believe you.
