How to teach children?

While many people find teaching children to be rewarding, some will tell you that it’s just plain stressful at times.
It is very important to know what I am going to teach and how I am going to teach. For example, would you use the same approach to teach a child how to tie their shoes as you would how to do multiplication tables?  Probably not. 


To teach children you have to take into account the age and context in which they are.
From there, you can choose teaching methods and techniques that are right for them.  

• To help your visual learner grasp concepts faster, teach them through pictures, icons, charts, diagrams, and color coded information. 
• Making up a story or a song with the directions or the main concepts of the lesson will help this type of learner succeed. 
• Copying down phrases and words, taking their own notes during lectures, reading out loud, listening to audio recordings, and discussions are effective teaching methods and techniques for this type of learner. 
• Encourage kids to build, create, act things out, and experience what they are learning. 

Children are versatile.You will be surprised how fast they can learn something once you teach to their learning style.
