I often think that kid psychology is probably extremely well suited to kinetic problems. Things that involve their own natural desires, all kids want to move, jump, interact with the world. Connect their eagered mind with a way to denote the world and let them abuse math to communicate and reason their own desires.

A kinetic/kinesthetic approach probably would have worked well for quite a few classmates of mine, but definitely not for me. In fact, the only approach that would have appealed to me even less would be musical.
