1. Identify your child’s learning style: Observe how they engage with material and which methods help them best retain information. 
2. Incorporate multisensory learning: Even if your child has a dominant learning style, blending multiple approaches (like reading + hands-on activities + discussions) helps reinforce concepts. 
3. Adjust your teaching approach: Some days may require a mix of visual aids, movement, listening, and writing to keep your child engaged. 
4. Be flexible: As your child grows, their learning preferences may evolve. Stay open to adapting your teaching strategies.
