Is Short Term Memory Loss Seen In Children?

My little brother is having problems with his memory. During mid conversation he would say wait, what did i say earlier, i cant remember and then he will begin to cry saying i cant remember and he also says that he has short term memory loss. he is 10 years old. But he remembers things like where my mom left and what he had for breakfast. its just the things he says that he forgets. I tried settling down with him n talking to him about it. then when he would say wait what did i say i would reply with you tell me and then he will repeat what he had just said that he so called forgot. but i worry about this problem hes going threw and i really want to know if hes just lying.

Hello,

What about his self-confidence status and school performance? How is his relationship with you? Are you friendly to him? If you scold him so much or he didn't feel comfortable with you then maybe he forget things in front of you. So a lot of issues to evaluate. Check his friends and school issues and school performance and way of talking to others then evaluate.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
