- Seeing the "Big Picture" - Giving many options- Reading between the lines - Groups - Avoiding of individualcompetition - Avoiding conflict - Reassurance and reinforcement- Keeping on track, steps and details - Going with the flow These styles are not meant to confine your student into a box.The guidelines are meant to offer the parent/teacher options tocreate the best environment for the student and finally find the"path of least resistance". Evaluating individual styles isaimed to educate the parent/educator on how the child sees andprocesses information. Do not try to fit your "round" child into a "square" hole... Youwill find very little success and lots of frustration and anger.Every one of us was made with different strengths and abilities.One is not "better" than the other, they are just different!This report is meant to illustrate learning pros and cons butmost importantly that each style is manageable and has value. One of the most valuable lessons I learned during myhomeschooling adventure is to take the path of least resistanceand not fight nature. I know you can do it !
