I have enjoyed finding lesser-known holidays to celebrate on my blog, I hope you have enjoyed learning about them. Here is another one… Did you know today is National Parents as Teachers Day? In honor of all you parents and teachers I found this informative article (originally posted on Medium.com) that I would like to share.
I have been driven for many years, in all I do, to find ways to help children be more confident and successful. Writing Being Visual was a long, labor-intensive process, especially for me as a visual learner, but I truly believe that when we understand the way our visual kids think, can help them be more successful. When I hear from parents that have read and applied visual learning techniques, I am enormously grateful to be a part of this important conversation.
This is what one of our reader’s had to say:
Does your child love to do puzzles and Lego’s?
Do they enjoy building and making things three dimensionally?
Do they often struggle to sit still in the classroom and do math or writing assignments?
If this sounds like your child, you may have a spatial learner. These kids are visual learners that are highly gifted in spatial thinking.
I just came across a most delightful book! If you’re a parent interested in providing more art activities at home,
The Artful Parent is for you.
Kids have been in school for a few short weeks now and reading and math homework have begun. But your kids need to keep their creative juices flowing.
September brings a lot of new excitement; the start of school, the beginning of fall and now, Arts in Education Week.
The second week of September, as designated by the US House of Representatives, is a time to celebrate how “arts education, comprising a rich array of disciplines, including dance, music, theatre, media arts, literature, design, and visual arts, is a core academic subject and an essential element of a complete and balanced education for all students.”

It’s back-to-school season — and just like that, swimsuits and towels are traded in for school clothes and backpacks, summer toys are exchanged for binders and school supplies and ice chests are replaced by lunch boxes.
