Homeschooling Different styles of learning

[jars78]

Hello, I am planning on homeschooling my children next fall.  I've begun my research, planning, and preparation now b/c we have a new baby on the way.  My biggest concern and/or question is how to teach two very different learning styles?  My oldest is a very classic/tradtional learner.  She would excel in a program of the Classical Method or a traditional method.  My middle child would drown in such an environment.  I've thought about doing 2 different styles one method to challenge the older, and another method to help the middle one along, but I'm afraid they will want whatever style of learning that the other is doing.  My middle child would need more of a unit study/hands on approach, and the older child might think she isn't having as much fun with learning Latin, and writing so much.  Anyone have this problem?  Thanks!

I'm interested in the responses to his as well. My older is VERY hands on. my youngest, though not even 2 yet, has lots of sensory issues, and gets very overwhelmed if there is too much going on around him

My 3 learn in very different ways. My youngest "school age child" (almost 8) has sensory issues and the oldest has adhd. I teach in one way, but have them do different follow up. For the youngest, we provide more manipulatives. The oldest loves art, so I try to have her add pictures, models, etc. my middle child likes extreme structure. If I give her very specific parameters, she's happy. But they all get the same lesson in most subjects (they are 8, 9, & 10).

Mine are the same way and I have decided to combine classical with Charlotte Mason and throw in some unit studies if something catches my interest.  My dd is the one who seems a lot like your dd but she also excels in any method so I know she will go with the flow however I choose and learn well so I will craft things a little more towards my one whose learning style is a little more inflexible.
