Parents usually teach in their preferred learning style, which may be different from the child's. This can be frustrating for both parent and child. Even though we have a preferred learning style, we can still learn in other ways. At any age, your child will learn more easily using his preferred learning style, but this doesn't mean he can't and won't learn any other way. In fact, he should be encouraged to use and improve all modes of learning.
Young children are all kinesthetic-tactile learners.
Watch your baby put everything in her mouth and your toddler reach out to touch and explore his world. Visual and auditory preferences may emerge later. Schools have traditionally used visual and auditory teaching styles, especially in the upper grades. Children who learn easily through these modes are usually successful in school, while k-t learners often find school difficult. Of course, all future learning is affected by early learning experiences.
