Learning Language

I have three kids and all of them learn very differently.  I have one who needs very little guidance, once he’s told something it usually sticks.  I have another though very intelligent, is a tad on the scatterbrain side… she generally understands concepts, but needs guidance in working with focus.  And my last is a visual learner… she needs to see how things work and then she is able to work independently.  She does well in subjects like science because she likes to see how a butterfly moves through its varying stages of development. 

 As I’ve been reading the book of Jeremiah, I’ve seen how God teaches Jeremiah by what I think is Jeremiah’s learning style.  Time and time again, God gives him visuals to help him see and understand how He plans to act on behalf of His people.  How cool is that, that God sees the individual and teaches accordingly.  This is why I would make a horrible teacher (and the reason I changed my major in college), I tend to teach how I understand concepts while a great teacher can see beyond themselves and their own learning style to help those who learn differently.  I often pray for my kids teachers that they will be able to do just this… see my child as an individual and teach them how they learn best.  Take some time today to pray for your child’s teacher.

 

I highly recommed the above book to help you understand and relate to each of your children's "learning language".   Follow this link to learn more and purchase.
