Strength to Success

There is good news for parents:

“All children are SMART and it is our job as parents and teachers to bring out the strengths of our children.”

Gone are the days when our dreams for our children are limited by their school performance.

“Intelligence” is no longer limited to the top 10% of every class. Intelligence has been redefined by Harvard-based cognitive psychologist, Dr. Howard Gardner. His theory of Multiple Intelligences has demonstrated that there are many forms of intelligence not measured by standard IQ tests. He defines intelligences as the ability to solve problems and fashion products that have cultural value.
