09: Becoming the Memory Architect – Holding Your Child's Memories Until They Can Hold Them Themselves
About this episode
This episode discusses the importance of creating and holding memories for young children, inspired by Meik Wiking's book on making memories.
I recently finished The Art of Making Memories by happiness researcher Meik Wiking — and this episode is about the ideas that hit hardest as a parent of a young child. The reminiscence bump, what the science says about baby memories, and the family story I had to rewrite as an adult. Related post: lovemaddily.com/blog/8-ways-to-make-memories-that-actually-stick
