Learning can be both frustrating and fulfilling. Understand that a number of different factors create your child’s unique learning style. Helping your child discover how he learns best will set him up for a lifetime success of learning and reduce the frustrations that come through trying to learn.
- Recreate your Spot A chair and a desk in a quiet corner can be boring for your child. Try spreading out the floor, sitting cross-legged on the bed or even in front of the TV, to find the environment where your child’s best learning can take place. Play some music and prepare some healthy snacks and drinks to make your child feel more comfortable.
- Develop different learning styles The way a child perceives and orders information plays a crucial role in his learning. While structuring the information in a logical step-by-step process, progressing in a linear form from beginning to end, may work for most children, your child may process information in a different way. He may need to see pictures, write or read the text himself, hear the information spoken to him to make him remember, or a combination of these ways. Observe your child in normal situations an pick up clues on how he understands the world.
- Have fun Being your child’s own teacher, you also have to enjoy learning. Share anecdotes, trivia and jokes or give him surprises to make every activity something he looks forward to. Let him ask questions and express his thoughts. Rediscover and explore different wonders together to make learning sessions a time to bond too.
