A speaker (in a YouTube video titled "Are you listening to your children's needs?" by Richard Canfield) gives a first-person monologue about parenting mistakes and lessons: recognizing that children have different learning styles and practical needs (e.g., one child needs a quiet space; another is bothered by damp uniforms at 4am), and that understanding these differences would change how the speaker scheduled studying and chores. The speaker also cites a youth certification program (Colby) as teaching practical tips for working with different kids.

And I remember once him saying to me, why do you have to wash my football uniform at 4am because when I put it on, mom, it's still damp. And I'm thinking, what's wrong with you? I'm washing your clothes. Things like, you know. And it was important to him. He would have done it the night before test taking, which the way I have my children, I would over commit them and have them study the night before test. My daughter, follow through, fact finder, my son, fact finder, follow through. That doesn't work. So if I knew what I knew now, I would have changed. I would have said, okay, what works for you? What if we study on Monday through Friday? One of the wonderful things that Colby does for youth certification is we learn tips and tricks. We learn how to work with different kids. Which as a mom for me, what I experienced, it was kind of mind blowing. My daughter, she needs a quiet space. As I said, telling her to do a homework in the back of a car isn't there to her right?
