“Intelligence is the capacity to do something useful in the society in
which we live. Intelligence is the
ability to respond successfully to new situations and the capacity to learn
from one’s past experience.” - Dr. Howard Gardner
Dr. Howard Gardner, a
professor of cognition and education at the Harvard Graduate School of
Education, developed his theory of multiple intelligence twenty years ago. Dr. Gardner says that people employ several
different types of intelligence, rather than one general type.
According to Dr. Gardner there
are 8 types of intelligence.
Every child born is inherent with one or more dominant
intelligence. By activating and
stimulating the dominant intelligence the child can be made to excel and
perform very well in school and later in career. Even
those intelligences that are not by nature dominant in the child can be
nurtured systematically using certain activities.
These activities are well researched and
scientifically proven. Each activity is
designed and created so as to stimulate and nurture the Eight different
multiple intelligence.
While our “My
Smart Baby” kit consisting of the “chips of knowledge” aims to stimulate
the right brain’s hidden capabilities, especially the “photographic memory”,
the MI activities are aimed at enriching the left brain as well. This makes the “My Smart Baby” a holistic program for infants &
toddlers aimed at nurturing the capabilities of both the left and the right
brain.
