What is Spatial Skill? (Part 2)

Ini sambungan from my previous post on Spatial Skills.

This ability is important for generating and conceptualizing solutions to multi-step problems that arise in areas such as architecture, engineering, science, mathematics, art, games, and everyday life.

Some little things to know about the profile of a person with great spatial skills:

“A profile of an individual with higher acuity to spatial-temporal reasoning is otherwise referred to as having an exceptional spatial awareness. These children think in pictures and images.

They tend to perceive the environment holistically, storing information in a non-sequential fashion, revealing the strength of their right-brain processing.

Their rich internal imagery makes them very imaginative and creative. They are the visual learners. They like posters and pictures and movies and other visual presentations of new information. They are daydreamers, sometimes becoming so engrossed in their own internal "movie" that they don't seem aware of the external environment.

But, don't be fooled. They are also keen observers of the world around them, noticing subtleties and details that most of us miss. They also have an excellent awareness of space, the orientation of their body and others.” –about.com

Hmm..I perhati Miya does have these characteristic. How about your kids? But I guess most kids of an eager leaner nature, do have these characteristics, right?

So among the things I have been doing in trying to develop these skills with Miya (in which she enjoys a lot), I let her play organizing games. Stack things up, organize/coordinate in colors, arrange/rearrange and many more.

These are the little things I can do to contribute to my child’s growth. How about your contribution? Do share with us.
