This book uses Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences to show parents how to help their children live up to their potential. According to this theory, now an accepted and valued method of educating throughout the country, intelligence is not a single number, but a mosaic of abilities encompassing verbal, visual, musical, kinesthetic, logical-mathematical, interpersonal, and intrapersonal intelligence. These intelligences aren't fixed at birth; they are cultivated throughout our lives--but especially in childhood.
