✨ The Pyramid of Learning Explained ✨
A child’s growth in academics, behavior, and daily living rests on strong foundations. Each layer of the pyramid builds on the one below:
🔹 Central Nervous System – The control center that supports all learning and movement.
🔹 Sensory Systems – Touch, vision, hearing, smell, taste, balance (vestibular), body awareness (proprioception), and inner signals (interoception).
🔹 Sensory Motor Development – Skills like posture, reflexes, body awareness, and motor planning that help kids move with control.
🔹 Perceptual Motor Development – Eye-hand coordination, visual-spatial skills, language, postural adjustment, and attention.
🔹 Cognitive Intellect – Higher skills like learning, problem-solving, and behavior.
💡 When a child struggles at the top (reading, writing, behavior), the root often lies in the foundation levels. Strengthen the base, and the whole pyramid grows stronger!
