@MsMarm:

Absolutely, it’s important to figure out your own learning style(s). I’m not exactly sure about very young children, but you can learn a great deal through observation. Do they eagerly respond to music? Are they gregarious, wanting to socialize a lot? Are they drawn to brightly coloured pictures?

Even though we may have preferred learning styles, it is also true that we can sometimes benefit from learning styles we may not automatically plump for! That’s why I particularly like number 4. Sometimes both adults and children close themselves off to new activities and ways of doing things and that goes for learning as much as anything else.

By what diagnostic can we identify our children’s learning styles at 2 years old? at 3 years old? at 4 years old? at 5 years old?

What do we look for?

Might it be useful to identify OUR OWN learning styles?

This is so right up my alley. My hubby is more linear/logical thinker and me, well I’m just all over the place! No, not really, but more of a connect the dots kinda of person, and I think my daughter is too! Maybe it’s too early to tell, I hope I’m not projecting! Great post!

So true! Just like there are different kinds of intelligence. Some kids’ strengths are not recognized in school because they are not academic but those qualities are what will help them succeed as adults.

There’s a great book that would be awesome for parent’s looking to learn how to identify their family’s learning strengths – it’s “How to Make People Like You in 90 Seconds or Less” by Nicholas Boothman. Great tips for finding someone’s ‘type’ quickly and effectively.
