Have you ever tried to study with the television on?
Believe it or not: some people study BETTER with something like the television on in the background!
Many do well with music playing in the background. And some of us do best with silence.
A kid will thrive in some environments, and become filled with anxiety and stress in others. All because of the sound, sights, lighting, seating, and even smells!
In this week’s podcast, we’re digging into environmental considerations!
Who selected where your child is expected to do whatever constitutes “schoolwork” in your house? How is that working? I am not judging AT ALL!
So many of us think about what will work best for us, and not what will work best for our children.
But our children are unique and different from us.
Some kids will do really well at the kitchen table with a lot of bustle all around them. Others will need a silent space away from everyone. Some kids will do best sitting upright at a formal desk. Others will do best laying on the floor, papers spread all over (that would actually be me much of the time!). Some will do best indoors, and some outdoors.
Even the scents in the environment can have an impact on how they are learning! Essential Oils diffused in the air can be beneficial for some kids, but different kids will respond differently to different oils.
The amount of lighting and the type of lighting that is provided can have an impact, especially on those with some kind of visual processing disorder or light-sensitivity.
Another big aspect of considering the environment is considering how things are organized. We could spend a whole lot longer talking about all of the intricacies of organizational considerations!
Watch, Read, or Listen to this week’s podcast! Then, stop and take a moment to consider each of these. Which do you need to spend some more time considering and evaluating?
