If strategies are designed properly keeping in view the resources available- teacher capabilities, teacher intellectualities, children intelligence, child curiosity, culture recognition, and parents interaction.

Types of Children’s Strategies of Learning

1. No School Bag- As in the initial years of schooling children feel hesitant to go to school because of the new environment and because of heavy bags. Nowadays many schools adopted the policy of no school bags. A child does not have to bring school bags, school itself provides books, notebooks, and other basic amenities required to carry out during school time. This is done to attract kids to school regularly and develop learning regularity among kids.
