Human Growth and Development

A child’s sense of self-worth is shaped by various factors: ●​ External Factors: Socio-Economic status, cultural background, immigration status, and family dynamics. ●​ Peers: Positive peer interactions build self-esteem, while bullying or teasing can harm it. ●​ Family Support: Supportive, nurturing families—regardless of structure—promote healthy self-esteem, especially when they maintain low conflict and offer consistent emotional support.

Learning Styles Learning styles refer to individual preferences in how people receive, process, and retain information. Some students learn best through visual aids, while others prefer listening to explanations or hands-on activities. Identifying learning styles can help students develop personalized study techniques , while educators can adapt teaching methods to enhance engagement and understanding. Common Learning Style Models The VARK model categorizes learners into four main styles: 1.​ Visual Learners: Learn best through diagrams, charts, and images. 2.​ Auditory Learners: Prefer lectures, discussions, and spoken explanations. 3.​ Read/Write Learners: Benefit from reading textbooks, taking notes, and writing summaries. 4.​ Kinesthetic Learners: Learn through hands-on activities, movement, and real-world applications.
