Answer:
They
talk about what to do, about the pros and cons of a situation. They indicate
emotion through the tone, pitch, and volume of their
voices. They enjoy listening but cannot wait to get a chance to talk. They tend toward long and repetitive descriptions. They
like hearing themselves and others talk. They tend to remember names
but forget faces and are easily distracted
by sounds. They enjoy reading dialogue and plays and dislike lengthy narratives and
descriptions. Auditory learners benefit from oral instruction, either from the
teacher or from
themselves. They prefer to hear or recite information and benefit from auditory repetition.

Role of physical activities in developing body movement:
Regular physical
activity helps develop your child’s movement skills. It also, of course, helps bones become stronger and builds a healthy
heart and stronger muscles. Physical activity also helps your child keep a healthy body
weight. Moderate-intensity exercise can even help to relieve some chronic (long-term) pain conditions by maintaining physical
function and decreasing fatigue.
Aside from providing
general physical benefits, regular activity can also help ease symptoms of premenstrual syndrome in girls. This is
because moderate exercise helps the body produce hormones called
endorphins. These are natural painkillers that can ease abdominal and back pain as well as improve mood.
Benefits of activity for brain function
While
it may not seem obvious, physical activity plays an important role in
developing the brain and supporting essential mental functions.
Research shows that
regular moderate-intensity exercise can increase the size of the hippocampus, an area of the brain involved with
learning and memory. Exercise also helps release growth factors, chemicals in the brain that affect the growth
and survival of new brain cells as
well as blood vessels in the area.
Exercise
leads to improved motor skills (such as hand-eye coordination), better
thinking and problem-solving, stronger attention skills, and improved learning.
Not surprisingly, these all combine to benefit school performance. In fact, even the simple act of playing
outside with friends,
setting non-academic goals, and seeing progress can help the brain refocus when
it comes time for school work.
Benefits of activity for emotional and mental health
If
your child has depression or anxiety, or even just an “off” day, exercise may
be the last thing on their mind. However, physical activity can help greatly with
maintaining mental well-being. The endorphins that the brain releases during exercise help to improve mood, energy
levels, and even sleep. Together, these positive effects help to improve
self-confidence and resilience.
Exercise can:
• reduce
anxiety
• improve
relationships
• improve
body image.
