It definitely helps knowing how your child learns, so you can accommodate their needs!
This is a good starting point if you're not sure what your child's learning style is. Parents, don't be hard on yourself if you realize that you were teaching to a different learning style than your child prefers. Always experiment and know that kids will benefit from exposure to different approaches - just focus on the ones that benefit them.
