7 ways of learning...No med’s
I found this article on the internet like 3 years ago. I wonder if this could be the solution for "the struggle" in schools and the alternative to medications.
7 ways of Learning
Section 1 - Linguistic Intelligence: Children gifted in linguistic ability have highly developed auditory skills and enjoy playing around with the sounds of language
Linguistically gifted children:
* like to write
* spin tall tales or tell jokes and stories
* spell words accurately and easily
* have a good memory for names, places, dates, or trivia
* enjoy reading books in their spare time
* appreciate nonsense rhymes and tongue twisters
* like doing crossword puzzles or playing games such as Scrabble or Anagrams
They might want to be writers, secretaries, editors, social scientists, humanities teachers, or politicians. They learn best by verbalizing or hearing and seeing words.
Section 2 - Logical-Mathematical Intelligence
Youngsters strong in this form of intelligence think conceptually
compute arithmetic problems quickly in their head
* enjoy using computers
* play chess, checkers, or other strategy games and win
* reason things out logically and clearly
* devise experiments to test out things they don't understand
* ask questions like "Where does the universe end?" or "When did time begin?"
These children may want to grow up to be scientists, engineers, computer programmers, accountants, or perhaps even philosophers
Section 3 - Spatial Intelligence
These kids seem to know where everything is located in the house
* daydream a lot
* draw accurate representations of people or things
* enjoy doing puzzles or mazes
* like it when you show movies, slides, or photographs
* easily read maps, charts, and diagrams
* spend free time engaged in art activities
* report clear visual images when thinking about something
They might want to become architects, artists, mechanics, engineers, or city planners.
Section 4 - Musical Intelligence
Musically gifted kids often sing, hum, or whistle tunes quietly to themselves
* play a musical instrument
* remember melodies of songs
* tell you when a musical note is off-key
* say they need to have music on in order to study
* collect records or tapes
* sing songs to themselves
* keep time rhythmically to music
They will have strong opinions about the music you play on the radio or stereo. They will be the ones to lead a group sing on a family outing. They're also sensitive to nonverbal sounds in the environment such as crickets chirping and distant bells ringing and will hear things that others in the family have missed.
Section 5 - Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence
These children squirm at the breakfast table and are the first ones to be excused as they zoom out the door and head for the neighborhood playground
* do well in competitive sports
* move, twitch, tap, or fidget while sitting in a chair
* enjoy scary amusement rides
* need to touch people when they talk to them
* demonstrate skill in a craft like woodworking, sewing, or carving
* cleverly mimic other people's gestures, mannerisms, or behaviors
* engage in physical activities such as swimming, biking, skateboarding
Some are primarily graced with athletic abilities or the skills of a dancer, actor, or mime--they are great at mimicking your best and worst qualities. Others are particularly gifted with excellent fine-motor coordination and can excel in typing, drawing, fixing things, sewing, crafts, and related activities. These children communicate very effectively through gestures and other forms of body language. Sometimes they can be labeled hyperactive at home and school if there aren't appropriate outlets for them. They need opportunities to learn by moving or acting things out.
Section 6 - Interpersonal Intelligence
These children understand people
* have a lot of friends
* serve as the "family mediator" when disputes arise
* seem to be "street-smart"
* enjoy playing group games with other children
* get involved in after-school group activities
* have a lot of empathy for the feelings of others
* socialize a great deal at school or around the neighborhood
These youngsters excel in mediating conflict between peers because of their uncanny ability to pick up on other people's feelings and intentions. They might want to become counselors, business people, or community organizers. They learn best by relating and cooperating
Section 7 - Intrapersonal Intelligence
Like those who have interpersonal intelligence, Intrapersonal children possess strong personalities.
display a sense of independence or a strong will
* react with strong opinions when controversial topics are being discussed
* seem to live in their own private, inner world
* like to be alone to pursue some personal interest, hobby, or project
* seem to have a deep sense of self-confidence
* motivate themselves to do well on independent study projects
* march to the beat of a different drummer in their style of dress or their behavior.
They may want to become writers, small-business people running creative enterprises, or enter into religious work
That is really interesting my son fits the Logical-Mathematical Intelligence
I am a little bit of the Intrapersonal Intelligence 
Maybe, the Dept of Education should take this in consideration if, they ever decide to chande the school system. (or any other studies that can prove to be "true")
My son fits more in Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence It is incredible to read about this.When I was reading this, it came to my mind that: When my son was little (about 3), he used to mimic my neigbor. Now, he keep trying to fix thing all the time. He enjoys scary amusement rides. I always had have in my mind the idea that my son is going to be a "comedian" or something related to TV. I don't know why? and now I read: Some are primarily graced with athletic abilities or the skills of a dancer, actor, or mime--they are great at mimicking your best and worst qualities.
Interesting ah?
