Learning Styles

God made us all SO different didn't He? When my son was younger I started to notice things about him that were a little different then other children his age. Not bad things- just different. He was so compassionate. He cried when he saw a child crying in a baby board book picture. He was sensitive, very competitive, spiritual, adventurous. A quick learner, he hated wasting his time with review. Lets get on to the next thing! I checked out The Way They Learn by Cynthia Tobias from the library and it was such a godsend! That book helped me so much to understand my son. Is there a better gift then that? From reading the book I understood that he was about 50/50 the two learning style that have the hardest time in the traditional classroom environment. Many learning styles do great in the classroom. But for the way my son was created this was one more step in the many that led me to homeschooling (when I would have not considered it before!) Now in my 3rd year homeschooling I am so thankful for this book (even though it is not a book on homeschooling at all) and all the other books and friends and most of all Jesus, that have helped me on the journey. Thank you!!!!
