Homeschooling in the learning style best for your child

Education is not a one fits all approach, because not everyone learns in the same way, in fact science has classified seven learning styles. The Seven Learning Styles are:

Visual (spatial):You prefer using pictures, images, and spatial understanding.
Aural (auditory-musical): You prefer using sound and music.
Verbal (linguistic): You prefer using words, both in speech and writing.
Physical (kinesthetic): You prefer using your body, hands and sense of touch.
Logical (mathematical): You prefer using logic, reasoning and systems.
Social (interpersonal): You prefer to learn in groups or with other people.
Solitary (intrapersonal): You prefer to work alone and use self-study.

A person can also be a combination of two or more. In reality this is why public schools are failing so many families, because they teach in a one fits all approach and learning and life is not really like that. So how do we figure out how our child learns?
You can go through trial and error in your approach or you can do it the easy way and google a learning style test or go here and go through the questions with your child. https://www.learning-styles-online.com/inventory/questions.php?cookieset=y

If you are new to home schooling, find out what your child's learning style is, and cater to that style it will be less stressful on you and your child and your child will learn more. But most of all if you are struggling because you feel your child isn't moving along the way they should, relax they will get there. And don't give up, try another approach, if one way isn't working, it is most likely the approach so be fluid and try something different.

And once you find a method that works, still with it till it doesn't work. And remember moms and dads you can do it, you are your child's first educator not the government ran schools, you taught them how to walk, talk, potty train, eat like civilized people. We teach them more than anyone gives parents credit for and we are their life long teachers. I am 39 years old and am lucky to have my father and mother both still around and I still learn things from them and likely will till they leave this earth.
