If you have kids at home, you must be knowing
that kids are unique. They have different,
interests, likes, and dislikes. In a Daycare some
kids may devour books and love to dance on the
other hand, some main love animals, or plants
and some may enjoy music ok and Math. This is the
beauty of human beings.  Multiple intelligence is
a theory, first posited by Harvard developmental
psychologist Howard Gardner in the year 1983,
refers to the different ways students learn and
acquire knowledge. It ranges from the use of
keywords, numerals, and music to the importance
of social collaborations, contemplation, body
movement, and being in tune with nature.

• How can you nurture Multiple Intelligence in your
  kids at home?
• Spend time with kids and observe what they
  like. Try to find out the time and spend doing
  normal things with your kids. For example, have
  dinner together, play games, etc. Regular family
  dinners have the potential to improve childrens
  health and nutrition, build strong emotional and
  mental skills and also develop some good habits.
  Playing with kids and enjoying together increase
  empathy and happiness in them.
• Engage your kids in different ways. Think
  creatively and try to engage your kids in
  different ways. Encourage them to read
  age-appropriate books, do some art craft
  activities or let them just go outside and
  explore nature.

• Value their strengths instead of their
  weaknesses. Many parents tend to label their kids
  depending on their weaknesses. Instead of
  labeling them try to find out their strengths and
  do various activities to strengthen that area.
  Multiple Intelligence helps parents and teachers
  to understand children in a better way.
• Think about the expectations you have from your
  child. In Rolling Hills, CA playschools, kids are
  expected to read and have basic number skills.
  Having high expectations and giving extra
  pressure on kids to achieve those can only
  demotivate them. So, please set some
  age-appropriate learning goals and do various
  activities to help your kids attain the goals.

• Know that intelligence is a snapshot. Unlike
  general intelligence, childrens multiple
  intelligence profile is not static and may shift
  over time. Let them explore different activities
  and experiences and enjoy seeing them learning
  and growing in their own unique way.
• Look at the value of all the intelligence.
  Montessori teachers value and appreciate
  everything that kids explore and share. All eight
  types of multiple Intelligence are important for
  childrens healthy development. So, instead of
  just focussing on one intelligence, it is good to
  apply different teaching strategies.

Since each child has their own unique multiple
intelligence profile, teachers present
information and allow their students to show what
they have learned in various ways. For example,
teachers can teach children about the water cycle
by not only giving an elaborate lecture on the
topic but also by showing video clips. In the
class, there could be students creating models or
doing a performance to demonstrate their
understand and learning. Therefore, understanding
Multiple Intelligence will help teachers and
parents provide kids with richer learning
experiences.
