From the Back Cover

Each child learns in a different way, and there are many personal factors that influence how children learn. The most important of these is the way they "take in," perceive, and retain new information. Most children, when trying to master something new, rely predominantly on their strongest sense-seeing, hearing, or doing. This dominant sense is their learning strength, or modality, and they use it to learn everything, from walking to reading.

As parents and teachers, we tend to rely on our own learning mode as we teach our children. If the child does not understand right away, we repeat the same method over and over again, instead of adapting our teaching style to the way he or she learns best. Now Growing Up Learning, written by accomplished educator Dr. Walter B. Barbe, will help you find the key to how your children learn and how to help them capitalize on their learning strengths to master new skills and concepts all their lives. First, Dr. Barbe shows you whether you yourself learn predominantly through learning, seeing, or doing. Then he tells you how to watch your children to assess their individual learning strengths. Lastly, Dr. Barbe offers you teaching suggestions and activities to match your children's respective learning strengths, for the classroom and at home.

Teaching to children's respective strengths rather than repeating their weaknesses helps them to gain self-confidence and achieve to their full potential. Growing Up Learning will help you to instill your children with self-confidence to succeed in any learning environment.
