Description: “Children possess an array of &#x2018;intelligences&#x2019; in addition to their well-known logical-mathematical and linguistic abilities. Although each type &#x2013; musical, spatial, bodily-kinaesthetic, intrapersonal, interpersonal and an affinity with natural phenomena &#x2013; is present in different capacities, most children can become reasonably competent in each one, if given the necessary encouragement and instruction. The benefit is that rather than being stuck with a narrow intelligence profile, children can make use of various strengths to attain their full potential and succeed in school and later on in life.” &#x2013;Back cover.
