Kids.Mind n Soul Development: How Children Learn Best?

Children often have shorter attention span than grown-ups, especially when it comes to learning and focusing in class. In order to grab their attention, activities done in class shall be as interesting as possible and focus less on dull facts learning.


Generally, most children learn best using kinaesthetic learning method. This is a method that uses movement, such as moving, building, running, jumping and stroking, to stimulate the brain to focus. For example, give the children the opportunities to move around, to do a task while standing, to memorise while walking and to dance while listening to music.

The essential learning aids are:

Fresh air
Good flow of oxygen in the room creates a comfortable and relaxing environment. Children will then feel good and more confident, thus aiding them to learn more efficiently.
Water
Staying hydrated allows the brain to work better. Thus, children need to have sufficient water intake in order to learn more efficiently.
Exploration
Allow the children to explore and freely express themselves as a way to help them to learn more efficiently. If kinaesthetic learning method is not your child thing, keep trying different approaches until you have found one that fits your child well.
