Albums help us celebrate special occasions, and they help us reminisce fondly on things of the past. They contain any number of significant milestones, like weddings, one-of-a-kind holidays, and big family gatherings. But they’re usually meant for adults to remember or relive important moments in their lives. Still, they can also be important for children. Cultivating a love for photographs since young can build strong foundations for joyful experiences in the future. Making baby photo albums for your children is essential, and here are the reasons why.
Helps Your Kids Understand Their Childhood
Children usually don’t understand that the babies they see in photos are them. They don’t remember what it was like to be a baby or what they looked like, so it can be surprising for them to realize that they were once small. A sense of self begins to develop at around two years old, where toddlers are now capable of recognizing themselves in the mirror. Being able to understand that people can get older and that their appearance changes as they age is wholly new to them, and it’s an interesting perspective for them to gain!
Allows Them to Feel Close to Previous Generations
Some children won’t be able to meet or remember their grandparents, so photographs of them when they were babies may be the only way for them to learn about previous generations. Through photos of their grandparents, they may be able to connect with them on some level and realize that their parents also had parents. Understanding that their parents were once young and looking for certain similarities can lead to interesting conversations between parent and child. Your kids may realize that they have the same hobbies, or likes and dislikes as you.
Draws Connections Between the Classroom and Real Life
Looking through old photos can spark the realization that what they’ve learned in school or read about in books aren’t completely distant events from the past, since their parents or grandparents had lived through the period. Your children can grow to appreciate how aspects of life have adapted since then.
Keeps Their Memory Fresh
The experiences that children have as young children, babies, or toddlers are often easily forgotten. Without the help of your pictures, it’s likely that your kid will find it difficult to remember significant events from his or her life. Let them relive valuable experiences by looking through their baby photo album. In fact, repeated viewing of photos from an event can actually improve your recall. Many who look at photos and remember the associated events can’t distinguish between their actual memory of the event and their recollections based on prior photo viewings.
