We adults often find it difficult to allow our children to think freely and act freely according to what is best for them because, what is best for them, does not necessarily mean it is the best thing for us, especially when it does not fit into what is convenient for us.. ]]> 2018-02-04 12:17:50 UTC https://padlet.com/s10183809/elrng2/wish/227840735 s10183809 https://padlet.com/s10183809/elrng2/wish/227842864 An example, a certain child processes information best through movement. However, the system he is put in does not work to his benefit and when he does try to do what is best for him, that regulation would be labelled, ‘inappropriate’ and ‘misbehaviour’. Based on the above example, a teacher aware of his strength could plan an activity in order to tap on his movement. Part of work could be embedded into the child’s exercise period where gross motor is tapped on while seamlessly incorporating cognitive aspects to it and since the child's mind works best with movement, this lesson plan will help the child meet his full potential.

These can vary from sensory, physical, fine motor and play. Experiential learning is another way to adopt the hundred languages. Here, we can create opportunities for children to experience concepts thought about, first-hand. This works for children who require to go through the motions physically, in order to learn.]]> 2018-02-04 13:01:15 UTC https://padlet.com/s10183809/elrng2/wish/227844856 s10183809 https://padlet.com/s10183809/elrng2/wish/227845034 as adults, we need to consciously make the effort to not cut our children's freedom to exercise their different 'languages' when they need to do so. Suppressing this can backfire and result in lower performance rates with regards to their learning or may even result in children not liking to learn/ 'study'. Learning should be made fun. Learning should always be purposeful and it has to make sense for the children we work with. for it to make sense to them, as educators we need to be more aware of what ticks them and what works for them. ]]> 2018-02-04 13:02:59 UTC https://padlet.com/s10183809/elrng2/wish/227845034
