Help Build Your Child's Multiple Intelligence

 

What type of SMART are you?

 

The theory of Multiple Intelligences developed by Dr. Howard Gardner, a professor of education at Harvard University, suggests that there are eight (8) different intelligences or learning styles:

• Linguistic intelligence ("word smart)
• Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart")
• Spatial intelligence ("picture smart")
• Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart")
• Musical intelligence ("music smart")
• Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart")
• Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart")
• Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart")

Children are born with the capacity for all different types of smarts.  However, we focus too much on linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligence and fail to give as much attention on the other intelligences. Children with smarts other than brain smart, receive very little reinforcement at home and in school, in nurturing their true intelligence.  

The challenge to us parents is to provide our children with opportunities to cultivate these gifts.

How do we develop our children’s intelligence?

Your child needs your help to succeed in life, especially in todays competitive and more complex society.  Here are some of the things we can do as parents?

• Expose your child to new experiences.  Spend time listening to different types of music together, attend theater plays and musicals, visit museums, take nature walks and commune with nature.  The list goes on.
• Limit computer play and encourage them to do active outdoor sports.
• Play make believe and explore different worlds: real or not.   
• Buy toys that foster active thinking and imagination.

Motherhood Starts Here

Tips from one Happy Mama to another:

 

The Journey to motherhood is exciting and at the same time a frightening experience.

 

From the time you knew you are conceiving, everyday is going to be a day of whys and how.

 

The JOURNEY - Coping with pregnancy Anxieties

Pregnancy is a new journey for every woman and whether it is meticulously planned or comes unexpectedly, one thing is definite – a woman’s life will never be the same.  It is an experience that will reinvent your world for you.

Welcome to a whole new world (cliché)!

 

  

The idea of uncertainty, added responsibility and pressure may cause you to start questioning your competencies. And whether or not you think you are ready for motherhood, you are forced into this new, but wonderful world.

 

Are you READY?  A grand adventure begin

The good thing is, pregnancy is designed to naturally prepare you for motherhood. While it is inevitable that you feel uncomfortable, anxious and scared about what comes next, there are moments you will be filled with joy.

Being apprehensive about the responsibility for another human life is normal, but know that this should not hinder you from enjoying the journey towards motherhood.

The strength of a true Mama - Redefining a spectrum of Fear

Fear originates from the sense of not being in control.  Worrying is a normal when you are pregnant, but whenever you feel anxious, it is best to:

• Try to take control of things you can manage and channel your energy towards something positive.
• Indulge yourself in self-reflection and positive self-talk.
• Think of an empowering and convincing statement that will oppose your limiting belief.

KEY PHRASE: 
The secret to coping with your worries is redefining fear.  Simply look at fear as an opportunity for self-discovery, the gateway from simply wishing and wanting, to doing and being.

 

Be fit and fab by taking control

Take control of your pregnancy and do not let your pregnancy take over you.


KEY PHRASE:
Make continuous efforts to transform fear into power – power to decide on how you will act on your anxieties and live your life the way you’ve pictured it to be.

This is a chance for you to know and understand you and your baby more.

Preparing for motherhood

Since pregnancy is all about coping with your new role as mother, this is a most opportune time to adjust your lifestyle in a way that you live the life you dream for yourself while ensuring to provide the life you dream for your child as well. Nine months is enough time to form good habits and to prepare yourself for motherhood.
