How to help your child to learn

To help learning, we first need to understand how a child learns. Here are the main types of learning. Children learn through:

• Acquisition – acquiring knowledge by listening to other people, reading from books, or watching videos.

• Discussion – expressing and challenging the ideas with the adult or peers.

• Investigation – exploring, comparing, and questioning new ideas and information.

• Production – expressing what a child learns as their own current practice and understanding and producing an output.

• Collaboration – creating a shared output using new knowledge, discussion, practice, cooperation, and production.

• Practice – trying to complete a task, solve a problem, adapt the goal to the objective and improve along the way.

What is the best learning type in your opinion? The experts say the best learning is always a combination of all. That’s why it is essential that children engage in diverse learning activities daily.
