How good is the memory of a toddler?

Question

my husband ran away with my children and my youngest was a year and half at the time. Half a year hass gone by and he is two years old now. How well will she remember me if at all? Please...does anone know? They will be coming back in thi coming month so that makes it 7 months in total being gone. During this time, I have only had the privledge to have been with them twice in that time. Once for 30 minutes and the eonther for four days.

Answer 1

This is a tricky one. A toddlers memory is quite good and the bond between a mother and child is hard to separate even after 7 months. Be prepared for anything though- you do not know what your husband has been filling his head with. Your baby could be very attached to you and not let you out of his sight(the more probable one) or he may not come to you right away- afraid that you may be taken from him again. He doesn't understand that you didn't go away that he was taken- all he knows is that the most important person(his mom) was not there. I hope all works out well

Answer 2

they will remember you.if not by seeing ur face right away,but by ur touch&smell.it might take a lil time,but they do.my daughter had a very tragic accident when she was 21/2;she can still tell me detail by detail[even tho i try not to!]

Answer 3

It may take a little adjustment at first, but he will remember his mommy.  

Answer 4

I think they will remember. Kids have good memories.
