I love visual-spatial kids, you know, the kind that are brilliant and amazing yet can't keep up with their lunch boxes. The kind that can't match their clothes or run a comb through their hair. They are my people. But you don't understand them. That's okay, that's what I'm called to do. I'm their advocate. I have lots to say on their behalf and I want to share with you. Read on!

Sorry Folks...
Sorry folks, especially teachers and parents. You can't force your ideals onto the visual-spatial learners. No matter how much you yell, spank, criticize or huff and puff, you'll never get them to be organized, to match up their outfits, to learn math facts, to write neatly and to NOT enjoy a healthy dose of sarcasm. They are who they are. You can crush them with your anger and frustration for not fitting in or you can build them up with encouragement, proper and healthy environment and here's the big one, by modeling better ways of doing things. They learn by seeing and doing. You simply want your child to be successful, understandable but you have to find another way to get there. Figure out a way to love them and teach them or you just might lose them. ~ Traci
