No problem. Possibly you can relay some of these to the people who are, and if you’d like to stay in contact I’d be up for it or people who want more info.

As we speak I am actually ripping up a book, kind of for fun but it will help me scan it it is enjoyable and brings me back to the days I’d just rip paper probably wasted a bunch of nice printer paper hahaha! Good skill to have now I rip it up to scan books that are otherwise not accessible.



Yeah, I do too I really liked those. And I think my parents would agree with you about the guitar they bought that. I miss legos a little haha! I like to fidget and mess and build still but that is also a personality learning style thing.

But yeah, some people don’t think of that as much more thinking of just touch and feel or hearing.

I didn’t realize or learn I was so hands on and kinesthetic until I did and let myself.

Also as a personality development thing observe what he gravitate towards. Many people assume oh you’re auditory or you must just like to sit there and do office work or think about things. You’re blind you can’t be physical or hands on, especially as someone who has had very little vision and becoming totally blind at a very young age. I was very near it most of my life if not all of it anyway, i have a very severe version of a rare opacity eye disorder.

If he’s actually more musical and auditory that’s great you know. If he’s more tactile you know if he’s more kinesthetic and proprioception like me that’s also great. But like every kid watch for it. And yes we can be very hands on and kinesthetic. People I think assume we’d hurt ourselves if we do.

I didn’t know I was kinesthetics and was not allowed to know. I found out through exploring myself and reflection and really found out I like that type of thing. It was actually through typological systems. I said. No way I can’t possibly be this right? I am not because that’s just not me. It wasn’t do to type biase, but as I said not being allowed.


So moral of the story here is allow him many types of activities and find out what his true modes are as a person, as a learner, as a person who can do activities. I also found out I like travel and exploring for similar kinesthetic reasons. Let’s see if this makes sense because I’ve never wrote it or said it aloud. As a highly proprioception type and a kinesthetic person it allows me to connect with the area and land and streets. It’s weird. It’s like liking to be in physical places and taking in the environment more subjectively. There’s a cross between typology and blindness but yeah.

What would he the child like more auditory toys or more kinesthetic things as I recommended, you never know until I try, and then let him choose or naturally so what does he take the most pleasure of.

I enjoy breaking things and understanding what was in say a tape those cassette things. I undid one and was interesting, playing with the rope thing the tape was interesting.


Oh yeah, I like forms of braiding, macrame, notting as well, I just did my own forms. I would take a string and jjust do it. A lot of time thin rubber bands and see how long or much before I messed it up.

There are other modes as other people said, musical keyboards, drums, musical instruments. Toys that make noise. I actually had one that was kinesthetic and auditory. This barbie would play music if you made a revolution or if you twist it’s arm all the way around. I enjoyed doing that because you’d hear the chime over and over again, probably annoyed the heck out of someone, ahem, parents. There’s this sheep that yu can squeeze and it would make sheep noises. I always found that very fascinating. My former friend or this guy I know, has a bunch that he found that was emoji faces that did the same. Made noises. He showed them to me and it was cool.

In the more kinesthetic category I didn’t have it for long, because I was blind, unfortunately my dad gave it to my sister though based on personality and strengths it would very easily be much much more my thing. But there was this set that you could build a structure with bricks and glue and stuff a little model version, and from the little I played with it it was actually enjoyable. You build what it tells you to, but I would probably just have built my own thing or maybe someone could have helped me. I enjoyed doing whatever I wanted though.
