Learning Styles

People who work with children are told on almost every course, in almost every meeting and during almost every conversation that children learn in different ways and at different speeds. This phrase becomes a part of daily life, it is regurgitated to parents, co-workers, other professionals and is always at the forefront of all planning.

Have you ever considered what each of your minded children's learning style is? Read our article on this subject to find out more and to help when planning to meet individual children's needs.
