I am the mother of a 20 mos. old little girl. I have been noticing certain personality traits within her that are very strong. She is very particular in the way she plays. I am just wondering if there is anything at this point that I can do to start figuring out how she thinks and learns and what I can do to help her excell.
I know its early but I know there are things I can be doing now, Im just not sure where to start.
If anyone has any advice or good reading material for me I would really appreciate it.
Namaste'

Hi, Heather.
Gosh! I really had to dig in my files for this one. (LOL) Here is a couple things you may want to look into.
Go to this link:
http://surfaquarium.com/
This site explains what Multiple Intelligences is & explains what the multiple intellgences are, how to enhance your child's strong intellgences, and improve their weak areas. This site is not only good for the children in the early childhood stage, but also the older ones.
Check out the book:

I don't know what happened by I got cut off on my reply. (LOL) So, I will finish it here.
Check out the book:
Talkers, Watchers, & Doers: Unlocking Your Child's Unique Learning Style
by: Cheri Fuller
This book is awesome! I recommand this book to anyone to read before they start homeschooling their children, b/c it gives a parent such insight on the different types of learning styles & helps you identify which one is your child's. It also explains so ways to teach your child according to his/her learning style.
Hope this at least give you a good start!

The very best thing to do to help her is to follow her lead. If there is something she enjoys doing, let her do it over and over again - the repetition is enjoyable to children and they learn from it.
The next best thing is to expose her to as many new things as possible (not all at once, of course!). Different styles of music, different art media, different foods, quiet activities, active activities, etc. Let her explore, take apart, make a mess, get a little frustrated, get a little bored - all this things build a creative and problem-solving brain. |
