My learning style

My learning style is hands on, visual, and auditory. I learn best by watching someone do the task first and then try it on my own. I grew up in a home where my father worked all the time. My mother was a stay at home mom. She is creative and inventive. Instead of relying on my father to do home repairs, she did it herself. In fact, she made it a point to teach us how to do them with her. If she didn't know how to do something she would read about it, or ask someone she knew to tell her how to do it. I think this shaped my learning style.

  My childhood home was a place where music was important. My mother sang in choirs, groups and did solos for random events. I learned to sing by listening to her voice and matching the same notes she did. I was in many children's choirs growing up, but now I just sing to my children. I also played the piano from age four to 16 years. Reading the music and listening to my teacher play a piece of music was the best way for me to learn that skill. 

  If the school system worked with the learning styles of the student in mind, I would have done better. I liked the idea of learning certain subjects at the prime time of day for the student. I learn math better in the morning. I learned that through trial and error of scheduling classes. I probably could have spent less money, time and tears knowing this earlier. 

  My concern now is with my son and how and what he is learning in school. It's hard for him, because he has PTSD. He is not disruptive in class, he just freezes and sits there. So far the teacher gets frustrated with him which makes him even more anxious. He is learning something, because he does his home work without my help and the answers are correct. He is in counceling at school and he sees a therapist once a week. Finding out what times of day work out best for him for learning subjects or testing would be awesome. I would do anything to help him become the best human he can be.
