A trainer had once picked me up along with others from a crowd of 40 odd people after spending some time with us.She said i was kenesthetic..i dint know what that meant.She said something like "kenisthetic people learn by feeling things" .After googling i now know there are four types of learning ways,only one is predominant in us-visual,auditory,tactile and kenisthetic.
Kinesthetics cannot learn by just listening or seeing,they need "to do" things physically.They need to first act and then understand.Sounds cool? No its kind of stressful..because we dont have teaching methods that support such kids.Explains why i had so much trouble in classroom learning in early years of life.
There is so much that will decide how your kid fares in school.Its really upto you to either leave it to their class teachers or understand the ways of your child and help her/him.If the kid has tendency to get restless or drop things just to move in his/her seat-its a sign that he or she is kenesthetic.
They also may listen to music while learning or studying. It is common for kinesthetic learners to focus on two different things at the same time. They will remember things by going back in their minds to what their body was doing then.Can grasp concepts when abstract theories are combined with practical experience
