How do you teach a child who is a "relational learner"?

This child prefers to play with others and work as a team. He has good leadership and communication skills, cares for others, and shows an understanding of others’ feelings. Teachers can encourage learning by:

  • Asking questions that allow children to discuss their ideas with each other
  • Providing group projects and learning activities
  • Planning activities that involve helping others
  • Making sure the preschool learning environment encourages cooperative play
  • Interacting with the children as they play or complete learning activities
