And regardless of whether 3 year olds will remember something for life, they'll absolutely remember the high-emotion events for a few years. Whether that's the positive memories of going to Disney or the negative memories of staying home without your parents (and having it not go well), 3 year olds will remember it, talk about it, and be affected by it for at least a few years. That doesn't mean that we parents must be with them all the time, of course, only that I wouldn't dismiss a child's feelings "because they're only 3 and will forget."Why is it people don’t think 3 year olds remember things? Both me and my daughter have very clear memories of things that happened when we were 3.
