Journal 11

I am a very visual person. I remember things best when I see them written down in front of me. There are times when I also need to discuss something with another person to remember it. The parents we work with need to be told information in several ways because they are all different. For parents who are visual I would post flyer's around the center if there is an event going on or an activity. I would also write it on a white board in the lobby or on their child's daily sheet to help remind them. Other parents are auditory. They may remember something more easily if the teacher brings up something in conversation that they need to remember. This way they can recall the conversation. Some parents are kiniesthic learners which means they are do-ers. For these parents I may suggest working with your child in order to see areas that needed to be worked on rather just mentioning areas of improvement to them. I may also have them sign up to help for an event so they may remember. All parents remember information differently that is why it is important to share information with them in several different kinds of ways.
