Intelligence is defined as the ability to learn from experience and knowledge to adapt and adapt to the environment. Intelligence benchmarks are not only judged by their logical abilities, but can also be from eight other abilities. These nine abilities are called compound intelligence.
The theory of compound intelligence was first put forward by Howard Gardner, professor and psychologist from Harvard University, in his book entitled Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences. In the book, Gardner argues that every human being has eight different intelligences that reflect various ways of interacting with the world. One type of intelligence is added later. Come on, get to know more about the nine multiple intelligences and how to stimulate these various skills in the baby.
Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence
Verbal-linguistic compound intelligence involves language skills through reading, writing, speaking, understanding the order and meaning of words, and using language correctly. Children who have this intelligence are strong in the field of language, easy to remember verbal and written information, like writing and reading, good at debates and speeches, like to throw humor, and can explain things well.
You can stimulate this multiple intelligence to children by reading fairy tales, teaching new words, asking your little one to compose stories, write and read poems, write diaries, or talk about what he does at school.
Logical-Mathematical Intelligence
Intelligence in processing numbers, mathematics, and logic to find and understand various patterns, such as thought patterns, visual patterns, number patterns, or color patterns. To trigger logical-mathematical intelligence in your baby, train Little One with analytical games, counting, going to museums of science and science, such as the planetarium.
Spatial-Visual Intelligence
Children with this type of compound intelligence rely on imagination and are happy with shapes, pictures, patterns, designs, and textures. Your child's spatial-visual abilities can be honed by drawing, painting, building things, playing colors, playing puzzles, and playing wax and wax. Spatial-visual abilities are owned by architects, painters, artists, and designers. Research shows that, children who are trained to develop spatial-visual skills have good memory and logical reasoning abilities.
Kinestetic-Physical Intelligence
This intelligence involves the ability to coordinate limbs and balance. Children who have this intelligence like to do various physical activities, such as riding a bicycle, dancing, or sports. He may also find it difficult to sit still for long periods and get bored easily. You can help teach these skills by putting them in dance lessons, sports clubs, playing throwing and catching objects, maintaining balance when walking, or playing theater.
Musical Intelligence
Not only can play a musical instrument or listen to a song. Those who have this intelligence are also able to understand and make melody, rhythm, tone, vibration, sound, and beat into a music. Musical intelligence can be sharpened by giving children various choices of music, analyzing the differences in people's voices in speaking, listening to natural sounds, or playing creating songs.
Intrapersonal Intelligence
This is introspective intelligence in which the Little One is able to understand themselves, know their strengths, weaknesses, and self motivations. If this intelligence stands out in the child, he is wise and can control his desires and behavior, also able to make plans and decisions. This intelligence is owned by writers, scientists, and philosophers.
Interpersonal Intelligence
Apart from intrapersonal, interpersonal intelligence or social skills are also needed. These skills are the ability to socialize and understand and interact with others. Those who have this intelligence are able to work, interact, and relate to others, like to work as a team, have many friends, show empathy to others, are sensitive to other people's feelings and ideas, mediate conflicts, and express compromise.
Interpersonal intelligence in children can be sharpened by inviting children to play with peers, visiting community events, and social gatherings.
Naturalist Intelligence
This is the ability to recognize and categorize plants, animals, and other objects in nature, and be interested in studying living species. Naturalist compound intelligence in children can be fostered by teaching it the names of animals, plants, the universe; collecting insects, leaves, stones, or shells; take children into the open; observing animals; and raising pets.
Existential Intelligence
Existential intelligence, which is one of these compounds, enables children to ask and seek answers to deep questions about human existence, such as 'What is the meaning of life?', 'Why do we die?', Or 'What is our role in the world?'. Existential intelligence is more directed to the field of philosophy. Some experts also attribute this existential intelligence to the type of spiritual intelligence.
Recognizing a variety of multiple intelligences in children can help parents to stimulate and improve children's self development. You can further hone one or several types of multiple intelligences that appear to be more dominant in your child, so he can reach his full potential.
