Fall ushers in the excitement of a new school year, full of possibility. But, visual learners can grow weary after a long day in the language heavy classroom. What are you doing to prepare your child for this new year and the new challenges that come with it?
High school brings a bigger set of challenges for visual thinkers. Tune in as I interview a parent with high school aged kids and talk to her about what she has been doing all these years with her big kids to keep them ready for school.
Both children and parents enter a new school year full of expectation and many of those expectations will be met and great successes will abound. But sadly, back to school can be a source of great frustration for our visual students. Sitting still and listening can be hard, especially for kids that need to see, touch and do in order to learn effectively.
The new school year holds so much promise and excitement. With a little patience and planning your school year can be off to a successful start and continue that way throughout the year. Have fun and take lots of pictures to make lasting memories and put a positive spin on the end of summer vacation.
It is not often in business that you get to tell a story and get to feel that everyday, no matter what you do, you affected the life of a child. You affected the life of lots of children in lots of places.
I have so much more to share with you. Connect with me through my social media channels to join in the conversation and see what other people are talking about in education.
Do you have a kid that wants to spend their summer doing art? They want to build things. Make things. Draw things. Paint and color. All day. Every day. They just can’t seem to get enough. If this is your child, it sounds like you have what I affectionately call an ‘art kid’.
Did you know I wrote a book about visual learners and the value of art in education for all learning styles?
I want to share with you why I do what I do and I want to invite you to join my mission to impact education for visual learners. 
Don’t forget to send the kids outside to play, create and innovate this summer.
