7yo can’t remember yesterday

Yesterday my 7yo and I did a 7 mile cycle (unusual for us!) out to her godmother’s house, where she spent the day playing, doing sport and having dinner. All very nice.

Today, she’s on the phone to her uncle, who asked her about yesterday… and my DD simply can’t remember. She hums and haws for a while, and then says she thinks she must have gone to the park.

Is this normal? I’ve half-noticed this before, but it’s never been so stark. My DD just finished P2, and by the end of the academic year it was emerging she’s a bit behind her peers, and finds it hard to focus.

I’m a middle aged mum, so find it hard to remember yesterday all the time - but surely 7yo should be able to remember?!

Ioke that and always have been bit them I probably have ADHD (currently being assessed) and it can really affect memory so I'm probably not the best judge if what's normal now I think about it Grin
