How Children Learn

"Children learn best when the leaning experience is pleasant and free"

John Holt - Author & Educator

Babies

Learning through the five senses

• Taste 
• Touch 
• Sight
• Sound
• Smell

 These add to whatever a book has to offer by making the experience a little more interactive.

There are three different ways of learning which are:-

•  Auditory
• Visual
• Kinaesthetic 

 Each of these ways is different ways or learning. So each child is different as one may work just from a book instead or building something.

"I hear I forget, I see I remember, I do I understand"

Ancient Chinese Proverb 

Self-Motivated and Self Directed Learning.

This is something which is key where activity’s is one of the best ways to get a child motivated and getting them to do activity’s to almost teach themselves. There may be no reward from it apart from getting the child to complete a task to get them motivated with what they are trying to achieve.
