Q: Look for visual representations of what you're learning, such as photos of a historical figure, a map for geography, or illustrations of a cell for cellular biology. You may even want to check out documentaries online. Other great options are to color code your notes, use a highlighter, draw diagrams, or sketch out what you're learning. Music can help your mind focus while you read, or you could try finding your text as an audiobook. Some textbooks include digital access to an audio file or even include a CD. If you're reading a novel for class, look for the audio version. You can also try reading your notes out loud or explaining what you're learning aloud to someone else. Some subjects, such as science, are easier to pair with movement since you can build models of what you're studying. You can always hang up a whiteboard or poster board in your room, then stand at it while you write out the important concepts or create a diagram of what you're learning. This allows you to move as you process the information, which will help you learn. Other great options include role playing, making a model, or creating a representation of what you're learning.
A: Incorporate images if you're a visual learner. Listen to music or an audio book if you're an auditory learner. Build movement into your study sessions if you're a kinesthetic learner.

Q: Parenting skills, like any other ability, can be learned.  Taking parenting classes can help you learn what you’ll need to know and do as you prepare for the arrival of a newborn.  Most classes cover changing diapers, bathing, burping, and feeding your baby, among other skills. For a unique bonding experience, attend these classes with your partner. Books that offer advice to expectant parents (and, especially, books targeted specifically towards men) can offer valuable insights and information.  Many of these books are available at your local library, though you could of course buy them, too. Focus on learning practical skills like how to calm a crying baby. When your partner goes to the doctor for checkups and ultrasounds, tag along.  Listen to the doctor’s advice.  Write down information about what the birth process will entail and how you can prepare for the newborn’s arrival. Talk to your partner about where they want you to be during labor.  Some expectant mothers want their partners in the birthing room during labor.  Others expect their partner to remain outside.  There is no right way for a couple to plan this experience, but you should discuss the options together and come to an agreement. If you’re invited into the birthing room, you’ll probably just be there to squeeze your partner’s hand and offer moral support.
A:
Take parenting classes. Read parenting books. Attend prenatal care appointments. Plan for the actual birth process.
