Ladder of Achievement What's Happening

Let us discover the many "what's" that influence a person's quest on their Ladder of Achievement.
What the parents provide and create for their children at an early age will strongly affect their child's reaction to positive, effective learning. The "what" choices will include all educational tools that are appropriate for the child's learning development. Visuals, reading materials, audio materials, and all phases of creative materials will impact the child's responses and opportunities for imaginative reactions. Creativity will evolve based on the child's positive responses to various stimuli since the span of concentration is minimal for any one item. As the child progresses in their physical, mental, and emotional development, their learning styles will be revealed from a vast storage of visual, tactile, and auditory reactions. In addition, the child learns what is fun and enjoyable in contrast from what is tedious and boring. Inactive responses to various learning opportunities will give way to more active learning and listening opportunities. The basic skills of reading, writing, listening, and spatial skills will show what the child understands and comprehends. Repetition of effective, positive learning tools will build a sense of satisfaction and enjoyment. The child controls the choices by their "yes" or their "no" to whatever is given to enhance the positive, effective learning opportunities. Children will also learn from playmates and from various other media that will get their attention. An excessive concentration of audio visuals prompting only inactive attention will reduce the opportunities for creative, imaginative opportunities that comes from the child. There is a free choice that is made that needs to be respected and honored. With effective, positive parental guidance, the child will develop their learning styles that will have an opportunity to be enhanced and challenged in later years. What determines a child's response to the multiple technological resources that are available will be a good learning environment that encourages positive growth in learning the basic skills needed for lifelong learning. Selecting the "whats" is a challenge for both the responsible parent and the child especially in the first five years of learning development. Up next, the "where's" of climbing the Ladder of Achievement successfully.
