The document discusses Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences and provides examples of how children can be intelligent in different ways. It outlines eight types of intelligence: linguistic, logical/mathematical, spatial, bodily/kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. For each type of intelligence, it gives brief examples of how a child with strengths in that area might learn best and suggestions for activities or learning styles to support their development. The document suggests that children can be smart in many different ways beyond traditional academic measures.
