3. To Remind
When something or somebody makes you think of a person or a
thing
If you remind someone of a fact or event that they already know
about, you say something which causes them to think about it.

You do not need to remind people of their mistakes.
You can remind someone that something is true.

If you remind someone to do something, you tell them again that
they should do it, or you mention to them that they had intended to
do it.

4. Be Careful!
Don't say that you 'remind someone of doing' something.
If someone or something reminds you of another person
or thing, they are similar to that other person or thing and
make you think about them.
Your son remind of you at his age.
must use of in a sentence like this.
5. The differences
The two verbs “to remember” and “to remind” are slightly different and
this is why non-native speakers often get confused.
“To remember” is intransitive and is the equivalent of “ricordarsi”: it is
used when someone remembers something (or remembers to do
something) without any help.
For example: “I remembered to go to the doctor”, which means “Mi sono
ricordato di andare dal dottore”.
The verb “to remind”, on the other hand, is transitive and is the equivalent
of “ricordare”;
for example: “My wife reminded me to go to the doctor” (“Mia moglie mi
ha ricordato di andare dal dottore”).
