The way They Learn

We all learn in different ways. The more children you have, the more potential you have to see this in action. Some of us are visual learners, some are aural learners, some or kinesthetic learners. Here are some questions to start you thinking about you and your kiddos learning styles:

*What are the two main ways that you and your children take in information? Are you a concrete or abstract perceiver?

*What are the two main methods people use to order the perceived information? Do you order information sequentially or in random chunks?

*How does this information help you to have the most beneficial relationship with others?

Sometimes this can be an area of frustration with our children. If we learn in different ways it may be hard for us to understand why they can't pick something up as easily as we can, or why they don't understand something we may be trying to teach them. Maybe we are teaching them int eh way that we learn, not in the way that they learn.

Discovering your learning style and your loved one's learning styles is exciting because it's empowering. I am always ready to ad some tools to my relational and parenting tool box.

The Kindermusik classroom is a great opportunity for kids of all learning styles to learn! We hear the music, we see and feel the movement in our bodies, instruments, sometimes a parachute or something really fun! No matter your child's learning needs, it will be covered in Kindermusik!
