How does your child learn?

I would like to think of the 5 sets of stimuli and their elements as the basic ingredients that you may use in the preparation of any dish intended to optimize the learning experiences of your child. They are:
1. What are your child's ENVIRONMENTAL PREFERENCES?
2. What are your child's EMOTIONAL PREFERENCES?
3. What are your child's SOCIOLOGICAL PREFERENCES?
4. What are your child's PHYSIOLOGICAL  PREFERENCES?
5. What are your child's PHYCHOLOGICAL PREFERENCES?

Today, let me share you the environmental preferences of your child and their benefits so as to apply with your child and he may learn the best he could:

ENVIRONMENTAL PREFERENCES
   There are four major environmental factors that affect the learning process of your child;
a. Some learn best with sounds.
b. others study under dim light
c. Some like to learn in a cool environment
d. other learn best when they study in an informal set-up.

Does your child prefer to learn with or without background Music?
Sound is an element in the home environment misconstrued by many of us parents as noise. And yet, many adolescents think and remember best when studying awith music. Your daughter may work quietly at the kitchen table with earphones plugged onto her MP3 player, or your son may work out a math problem at the living room sofa with the radio blaring out rock music. Studies have also shown remarkable changes in the learning capacity of children who are exposed to classical music. Classical music is recommended because it is considered to be generally culture- fair and value- free.
Benefits of Music and Sound to the child include:
a. stress reduction and relaxation, thereby
b. fostering creativity through brain wave activation; stimulation of imagination and thinking.
c. reduction in the number of disciplinary problems; and
d. increased ability to focus and align as a group.
