A Multiple Intelligence Academy |
One of the rewarding things about having kids is the fact that they can bring us parents endless delights in their accomplishments. There may be some parents who don't care much about what their kids have accomplished but they stand to be the exception rather than the rule in this regard. A majority of us would always want to stand side by side with our little ones and savor the moment of elation as they receive their medals or trophies. Many of us still would go through unimaginable troubles, even sacrifices, to help them harness their full potential and be recognized for having done so. Oftentimes, however, we as parents may put a lot of expectations upon our kids and may end up disappointed with them, with their school, with their teachers, even with ourselves when they fall short. I think it's time that we look at their intelligence in context. This time, we will be talking of intelligence in the more traditional sense, as opposed to the multiple intelligences sense

We've heard the stories: a child left mostly to himself at home because the parents are working and have practically no time to interact with him. Left by the babysitter to watch Nickelodeon the whole day while she does other household chores, the child grew up and learned to speak English as his first language, accent and all. Well and good.
Then there's the other one: a child left to himself in a household filled with dogs. The first sound that the child was able to make was a bark. Okay, this last story is anecdotal. I cannot deny nor confirm the veracity of it. But here's one story that I can.
