Let’s help build our child’s Multiple Intelligence (+ Tweet Promo)

Multiple intelligence is just as relevant as academic performance, giving kids today the chance to develop their inherent skills in a motivated and well-rounded environment. Multiple intelligence can spark multiple achievements – it is the edge that this new generation will have. – Rhea Villareal, Senior Product Manager, Progress Pre-School GOLD

I have mentioned on my recent post that Ren and I have survived Grade 1. We were surprised that Ren brought home (okay I need to emphasize on this) S.E.V.E.N (7) awards on their recognition day.

I’m happy with what he got because his school did not only focused on the academic achievements of the kids but they also recognized the kids other capabilities and intelligence as well.

I am one of the believers of Multiple Intelligence. I know that to be able to succeed in life, one should not be brain smart alone. Parents like me need to learn progressive approach to be able to help our kids be a multi-achiever.

 

Instead of having one intelligence, it is claimed that we have several different intelligences. These are listed below:

Kinaesthetic – Body Smart Linguistic – Word Smart Logical – Number Smart Interpersonal – People Smart Intrapersonal – Myself Smart Musical – Music Smart Visual/Spatial – Picture Smart Naturalistic – Nature Smart

Ren is already a Visual and Linguistic Smart.  I was surprised when he was recognized to be excellent in Math this year, which means he is learning to be a Number Smart also.  I let him do swimming and football to help him be a Body smart.

I also exposed him in playing the lyre and piano for him to learn to love music and be Music Smart.

We try to go to various places and discover the world for him to appreciate the wonders of nature and be Nature Smart.

To be a Myself Smart, he is now keeping a diary to know himself. People Smart is in progress, he is attending social group classes to enhance this skill.

Let us learn to let go and expose our kids to various activities. Do not limit their capacities on the things they know already.
