Keynote 3 – 8 Great Smarts: All Children Are Smart – Help Them Believe It!

All children need to know they’re smart. Being smart empowers them to believe in their todays and tomorrows, to expect some learning to be easy, and to study when something isn’t. Being smart gives them hope. There are 8 distinct and proven ways of being smart (word, logic, picture, music, body, nature, people, and self) so why do some children not believe in their abilities? We can parent and teach so they do. Stop asking, “Is my child smart?” and ask “How is my child smart?”
