I have a niece I don't see very often (see her in some school holidays) as she and her mum & dad live a couple of hours away. She's now 2 1/2 so is developing a better memory of me and my kids, but in the past when we've visited it
would take her a while to warm up to me as she did not remember me. My sister-in-law found a good way to help her daughter remember people and I think it's a brilliant idea.
On her daughter's bedroom door, at her eye-level, my sister-in-law stuck photos of family members. My niece can look at pictures of her Aunties, Uncles, cousins, Grandparents, etc, anytime, and her mum reminds her of who they are. When my brother and sister-in-law know that I will be visiting, they make sure they point the kids and I out to their daughter so she knows who to expect. This helps my niece get excited about her visitors!
Such a simple idea that I wish I had thought of when my kids were young!
