Visual Learners Unite – In the Defense of Doodling<\/strong>
It’s that time of year when kids are transitioning into school life, and some might be getting in hot water for doodling in class. If this is the case for your kid, don’t worry, 37% of the population are visual learners, and doodling helps us focus, understand, and retain information. Doodlers are not being rude; they’re paying attention and processing information. Read this article, and defend the doodlers! https:\/\/www.smashingmagazine.com\/2012\/08\/i-draw-pictures-all-day\/ <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
