The document discusses that every child is born a genius, with wonder, curiosity and vitality. It argues against the traditional view of intelligence, which focuses only on abilities like math and reading. Instead, it presents Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, which includes spatial, linguistic, logical-mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic and existential intelligences. The document emphasizes that children should not be judged based only on a few abilities and that they may excel in other skills like dancing, singing or caring for nature.

1. “No dull child”
“way bulok”
Every newborn child is a GENIUS.
Genius – original meaning is related to
these two words:
a. Genesis – to give birth
b. Genial - to be zestful or joyous

2. Each child comes into life with
wonder, curiosity, awe,
spontaneity, vitality,
flexibility, and many other
characteristics of a joyous
being.
An infant has twice as many brain
connections as an adult.

3. Gardner argues the traditional
concept of intelligence:
A child who can
a. Multiply easily
b. Memorize easily
c. Read faster than others
What about those who excel in other
skills like dancing, singing,
composing, and others?
Aren’t they intelligent in their own
ways?

Please stop comparing me with others,
Like them, I also have my expertise.
I may not add that fast,
But I have other means to get the mathematical facts.
And please don’t call me dull or slow,
My talents is yet to show.
So don’t limit on grading my reading and writing,
Because I may be good in singing, dancing and
caring.
Just recognize me as I am,
Different but equally brilliant.
