Features: The author of this book is a renowned expert on learning issues in the world. After 15 years of research, he discovered that there are no such things as "academic disabled" by birth. Many children fail in school not because of insufficient talent but because the education system does not accommodate their unique types of intelligence and learning styles. Every year, thousands of children become painful failures in school, labeled as "hopeless," "underachievers," "learning disabled," or "academic disabled." Who are these children? What are the reasons behind their failures? The author, Armstrong, has long been committed to helping children overcome learning difficulties. He deeply recognizes that every child is inherently talented. There are seven main types of intelligence: linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. Children have different natural talents and diverse learning styles. It is the modern educational system and methods that fail to adapt to the diversity of children's talents and learning styles, which have become the primary reason for the academic failures of millions of children. The purpose of this book is to help parents and teachers discover their children's unique types of intelligence and learning styles. The author proposes a series of methods tailored to the seven types of intelligence, allowing children to learn in ways that are best suited to them. Based on his extensive professional experience, the author also analyzes other important factors that affect children's learning. Whether your child is labeled an "underachiever" or excels academically, the analysis and advice in this book will be helpful to you.
