Being Visual is a MUST READ for Parents
Being Visual was released with hopes of influencing some education practices, what I was not expecting was how much my book impacted the relationships between parents and children.

Not all children learn the same way. Our left-brain dominant kids are comfortable in the world of language. Our right-brain dominant kids thrive in the world of images. For these students, no seeing means no thinking. No thinking means no learning. Visual art training helps them develop the visual skills that are essential to their learning.
“Being Visual is a MUST READ for any parent that is truly interested in the way their child learns and sees the world. Being Visual is also a MUST READ for any adult that may have had some questions about their own education experience.”
Art is not just an outlet for our visual learners, but a pathway to creative thinking for our more rigid auditory-sequential learners. Adding the arts back into the curriculum will boost test scores and school performance for everyone.
“Art, specifically drawing, is a form of controlled communication. If a child with autism has difficulty with receptive language or sharing himself or herself verbally, drawing provides them a unique outlet.”
Our children are not getting their strengths fed in test heavy classrooms. They aren’t getting the chance to demonstrate their learning in ways that really reflect how they process ideas. Our kids are a lot more interested in learning beyond testing.
Schools are focused on teaching left-brain auditory learners and our right-brain visual kids are not getting what they need to succeed. My book, Being Visual, helps parents better understand their visual tactile child and shares specifics strategies to increase their success in school.
As parents and grandparents, we want to provide our children the best start to their lives as possible. When your child is struggling at school, you want to find an answer to how to help them succeed. In my book, Being Visual, I talk about the importance of understanding each child’s learning style and how it affects the school experience.
Is your creative, intelligent, vibrant child struggling in school? Did you have a similar experience when you were in school? You or your child may be visual learners.
In a test heavy education system, more and more children are underachieving, feeling lost and misunderstood. Schools are focused on teaching left-brain auditory learners and our right-brain visual kids are not getting what they need to succeed. My book, Being Visual, helps parents better understand their visual tactile child and shares specifics strategies to increase their success in school.
