Using a variety of learning styles, you can help children of all ages to absorb information and become curious about the world around them. Parents are a child's most important teacher, and the home can be the best learning environment. Here are some ways to help them learn at home and a look at how your child learns.
We all learn differently
Children learn in a variety of ways - do you know your child's learning style?
Knowing the most effective route to learning can make it easier, more effective and take less effort. There is no point pushing information through one route when using a different way can increase a child's ability to absorb stuff by more than 50%!
What do we mean by learning styles? Well, do you read the instructions to work the video recorder or do you push and press the buttons until it all works? Are you better remembering the pictures in a magazine rather than the words? Do you need to write notes to remember things - and do you keep them afterwards or do you throw them away, because it's the action of writing it down which helps you remember?
