Academic Learning

Many parents tend to believe that academics are an essential part of raising a child. While academics are important, they aren’t the only way to teach your child. There are several different types of learning, and it is up to you as a parent to decide which ones best suit your child’s needs. Before delving into various ways on how you can help nurture your children’s minds, it is essential that you first understand the different types of learning.

Most people are familiar with the idea that there are different types of learning, but they might not know what these are or how to define them. The Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST) defines the three main categories of learning as abstract, physical, and social.

The abstract is generally considered one’s ability to learn new things using their mind.

The physical is how one learns by using their body.

Social is learning that involves interacting with others.

Each of these types of learning is important for your child’s overall development.

“Children who have strong academics tend to have better math and reading skills, achieve higher test scores, get better grades in school and are less likely to repeat a grade.”

Children who engage in academic learning activities tend to have better math skills than their peers who don’t practice.

Your child can learn all about different fractions by cooking or baking with them. You can also help your child with their reading skills by having them read directions when cooking.

They will be more successful at math and reading, as well as other school subjects, if they are involved in academic learning activities throughout their childhood. These activities can help shape your child’s future by providing them with the skills that will prepare them for graduation and beyond into life after school.

As a parent, it is important to provide your child with as many different types of learning as possible. They need to develop and learn new skills, and it is your job to ensure they have the resources available to do so.

Below are some ideas on how you can help your child learn in three main academic areas: math, reading, and writing.

1- Math

Social Learning- Playing board games with numbers and counting

Abstract Learning- Counting steps as you go for a walk and discussing the numbers together

Physical Learning- Writing down ingredients and putting them in order as you cook

2- Reading-

Social Learning- Reading books to your child and asking them questions about what they read.

Abstract learning- If your child is interested, create a newspaper type of article on “Why we should recycle more” and have your child write the story.

Physical Learning- Helping your child do crafts that will teach them about recycling

3- Writing

Social Learning- Encouraging your child to write stories and ask them questions about what they wrote.

Abstract learning- Letting your child tell you what they did that day and then writing a story about it

Physical Learning- Having your child write down how they feel after a big event like a birthday party.

There are many benefits to academic learning outside of academics.

Below is a list of three main ways academic activities can help benefit your child:

• Encourages independence in your child when you can’t be with them.
• Helps develop their creativity and imagination.
• Gives your child an outlet where they can express themselves in a positive way.

These are just some of the ways academic learning activities can help benefit your child.

As you take an active role in helping to nurture their minds, you will start to see that there are many benefits to academic learning and that they will help your child succeed in life.

Academic activities do not only benefit children in the ways mentioned above; there are also several other benefits to participating in academic learning activities with your kids, such as:

Developing higher self-esteem – increased attention span (which helps them be more focused)

Can help with getting rid of bad habits.

Helps with learning to take turns in games, which is how they will learn when they are in school.

Developing their creativity and imagination.

Helps them express themselves when there is no one around to listen.

This just touches on what you can do academically with your child. Both at home and in school, children can benefit from learning from hands-on activities. This includes not only academic learning but other types of learning as well, such as social and physical. Working together with your child to get them involved in these different types of learning will help them develop a better understanding of the world around them while also having fun at the same time!

Learning through play and experience can help them build their confidence as they face new challenges and use the newly acquired skills to overcome those challenges. Helping your child learn about math, reading and writing also encourage independence when you aren’t around to help because they will be able to rely on themselves for help in a lot of situations.

Academic learning also helps children express themselves when they have no one to listen to, which can help take care of bad habits such as crying or throwing tantrums. This is because academic activities give them an outlet where the only response, they get is what they are doing; there isn’t any judgment or criticism of their activities. This helps them learn to express themselves in positive ways and not resort to negative means of doing so, which can help reduce bad habits.
