If you’ve ever found yourself repeating the same math problem again and again… or wondering why your child is fidgeting, staring out the window, or talking nonstop instead of focusing… You are not alone. And it may not be a discipline issue—or even a curriculum problem. It might simply be a learning style issue.

In today’s episode, we’re unpacking how to understand the unique way God designed your child to learn, and how noticing their natural tendencies can bring more peace, confidence, and joy into your homeschool.


In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • Why learning styles matter more in homeschooling than in traditional classrooms
  • How to observe your child’s natural tendencies without overthinking it
  • The most common learning styles—and the key traits of each
  • Simple tweaks you can make to support auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learners
  • Why you shouldn’t “box in” your child once you identify a learning style
  • How your own learning style may be influencing how you teach
  • Encouragement to follow your child’s design rather than force a system that doesn’t fit

Personal Stories You’ll Hear

  • How Erika discovered one child needed to move to listen well
  • How another child processed everything through talking it out
  • Why recognizing these differences transformed the whole rhythm of learning in their home

Practical Tools & Takeaways

  • Ways to help a kinesthetic learner stay engaged
  • Visual supports that build confidence and independence
  • Auditory strategies that help kids process and retain information
  • How to balance honoring your child’s strengths with stretching their growth

A Gentle Reminder

Learning styles are a tool—not a box. They help you teach more intentionally, but they don’t define your child or limit what they can do. Start with observation, make small adjustments, and give yourself grace as you grow alongside your child.
