One common misconception is that three learning styles exist (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) and that each child consistently learns best through one of these styles. Although it’s true that children can have specific learning preferences, they may learn best and stay more engaged when they interact with material in a variety of ways. For example, when teaching a child about cooking, you could show them a picture book about meal preparation (a visual learning approach), explain to them how the process works (an auditory approach), and let them try a hands-on activity in the kitchen (a kinesthetic approach).
