Hello, this is Nicki Carpenter, 4-H Youth Development Extension Agent with the North Carolina Cooperative Extension, Burke Center.

As adults and educators, It is important that we remember how every child is unique. How well caregivers and educators understand and encourage a child’s unique learning style can play a huge factor in the degree of success or failure a child will have in school and later in life. Here are some individual characteristics to look for: Does your child like to have loud or soft music, or just silence when studying? Does your child begin new tasks with enthusiasm, or do they start slowly and gradually build enthusiasm? Knowing you child’s strengths and weaknesses can be very important in adapting new learning activities to a child’s unique learning style. For example, if your child learns best with what they see rather than what they hear, they are a visual learner. On the other hand they may prefer to hear it because they are an auditory learner. Some children are “morning” people. As soon as the sun rises, they are up and about. By evening they are tired out. Other children are “evening” people. They can hardly make their way to the breakfast table. But by evening, their minds and bodies are top gear. Caregivers can capitalize on their child’s uniqueness. They can adapt their environment to bolster a child’s strengths. Or they may need to devise new strategies that will help their child compensate for a particular weakness.
