For example, school-age kids learn about and interact with the world in many different ways.
Some children learn best in groups.
Others may prefer to try new things alone or in teams. Children and youth are also experiencing a wide range of emotional, social, mental and physical changes. How Children and Youth Learn Children and youth learn about the world around them, and their role in it, from everything they do throughout the day. Riding the bus to school in the morning, resolving conflicts on the school grounds, deciding who they will sit with at lunch, and choosing what activities they will participate in after-school are all examples of the times and places where critical learning takes place for children and youth. School-agers learn from their active participation in the world around them.
