Each of the Children’s Perceptual Styles
The principal desire of
AUDIO CHILDREN is to maintain control and a sense of fairness. The minute you say, ”You can’t …,” Audio
children
don’t hear the rest of the sentence. They aren’t about to let you take
their
control away. I
The principal
desire of FEELER
CHILDREN is to please you and not make you angry with them. This desire overshadows their personal
needs. They
might say they like something when they don't simply because they think
that’s what you want to hear.
The principal desire of VISUAL
CHILDREN is for everything to be perfect, just as
they
visualized it. If
they can’t build the rocket because they don’t have the ability to even
create
the nose cone, they may feel discouraged, a failure.
The principal desire of WHOLISTIC
CHILDREN is to be treated like an adult. They are childlike but not childish so
often would
rather be with adults than those “silly” kids. They see themselves as
adults
trapped in children’s bodies.
