A kinesthetic child is the profile that is being applied to children whose form or way of learning does not have to do so far as the way we know. These children they internalize much more in their learning and they need your touch and other skills to take advantage of knowledge.
There are many ways of learning And even if we have children raised under the same roof with the same ideas and disciplines, you can see that each one is different. Some children use their visual side to learn, others the auditory part and others have the need to employ almost all the senses to be able to acquire knowledge.
What is a kinesthetic child?
These kids need a special way of analyzing and learning from the world differently. If you look at their way of studying everything that surrounds them, you will see that they like to live every moment with the help of all your senses, including touch.
They memorize things much better when they have lived it with all their senses, when they taste and enjoy food intensely and even touching everything with their hands and their body. They need to use muscle memory so that they do not forget what they have learned, but they are also slower to memorize.
A kinesthetic child likes to move and to be able to relate to everything associated with the movement. His best activities will be dancing, singing, running, theater, playing an instrument and everything related to body language.
You need to be involved with your body to learn to through bodily sensations. He needs to touch, do it with affection and above all, gesture. It is because of that he stays with what he has learned through memory, without getting to stay with some details. But it does not mean that they are children with less intelligence, but that they learn differently by using their body to get personally involved.
What is the difference with other learning methods?
Unlike in the way of learning of other children we find auditory learning in those who prefer to listen to their teachers and pay attention to what they say. The sense of hearing is what is used the most, people like to listen and explain their abilities through speech.
People with visual learning they use the sense of sight to learn and have better knowledge. They remember much better what they saw or read than what is written. That is why they like to watch videos, images and television. In order to speak or explain something, they move their eyes upward a lot.
Traits that define a kinesthetic child
These children memorize or remember information through "muscle memory". In order to unleash their imagination they need to remember it again through movement, that is why uses his body and arms to express himself. When it comes to using visual or auditory language, he does not participate in the session, as he gets bored.
This person's profile is very low, just 5% of the population manifests this form of learning and that is why they do not quite fit together very well. Children with this peculiarity need to receive information in a different way, if they are to use reading, books have to be used and connected with movement.
They cannot be inactive, they always need to move and do activities to be able to memorize through counted lessons. They like art very much as we have defined above, also doing infinite crafts where they use their hands.
Usually these children they do not have the facility to learn at school like the rest of the children. They tend to get much lower grades since they are constantly distracted when doing an exercise or any task. It is good to try to investigate the way your learning is presented.
As advice is good make a few small changes in your life, help him learn things his way, or change the objects and clothes around him. Make changes in his room, look for colors, surround him with pillows and put on music. He also looks for all those activities that suit his learning style so that he is always motivated and can achieve your goals.
