It has been said that everyone has seven kinds of intelligences. Your child may be a great reader but a poor math student, a wonderful drawer but clumsy out on the playing filed. Children can even show a wide range of strengths and weaknesses within one area of intelligence. Your child may write very well but have difficulty with spelling or handwriting, read poorly but be a superb storyteller, play an excellent game of basketball but stumble on the dance floor.
Over the next several weeks, I will describe each of the so called 7 intelligences so that you can better understand your child gifts and help him/her develop those gifts into something productive. However, it is important to note that you will need to resist the temptation to categorize your child into one of the 7 intelligence groups as your child is more complex than this. Take what seems to apply and add to this observed strengths and weaknesses in all 7 varieties of intelligence and you will discover your child's personal learning style.
