When parents know how their children are smart, they can better choose curriculum, teaching methods, and assignments that will be motivational and positive. Knowing which of the 8 smarts are our strengths is a win-win. These smarts are relevant to teaching, learning, spiritual growth, friendship, behavior and careers—so you’ll make many applications of these ideas to your lives.
