The author of this book is Bruno Ulste, a French child educator, senior teacher and writer, and Albane de Beaurepaire, a French speaker and trainer.
This book explains the theory of multiple intelligences put forward by howard gardner in detail, and provides practical operation methods. It is a good book worth reading by parents.
Every child can get a bunch of flowers at birth. Flowers are made up of eight small flowers, which represent eight kinds of human intelligence. They will grow, develop and blossom slowly. In the following days, the parents and teachers of the children are responsible for watering the eight small flowers to make the whole bouquet grow harmoniously.
However, the times have changed recently, and the flowers of human wisdom can't fully bloom, and some even wither. Language and logical intelligence are the most important in school, but other intelligence, such as body, vision, nature, music, communication and self-knowledge, are equally important.
The theory of multiple intelligences has three key points. Everyone will get a bunch of flowers of wisdom that need to be cultivated from birth. Most people's eight intelligences can develop to a good level. In most cases, all kinds of human intelligence work together in a complicated way.
Sometimes small details may make adults angry, but this is actually an intelligence that children are developing. For example, children naturally like to play with water and sand, and he can mobilize children's various intelligence. Through some simple experiments, we can know what can float on the water and what can't. The buoyancy of the same object in clear water and salt water is different.
Or sometimes parents are annoyed by their children's problems. In fact, children are naturally curious. When they are five, they will ask their parents all kinds of questions. At this time, what parents have to do is to think about how to answer their children's questions, discuss with them and give them the right to speak, such as what's your opinion? Looking at the problem from another angle will not bother you, but will find fun.
The author also suggests that parents should cultivate their own flowers of wisdom, because children are not parents' accessories. After having children, we can see the world from the children's point of view and learn more, because we want to teach them more things, such as language, music, knowledge of various disciplines in various countries, such as volcanoes, oceans and archaeology. We can foster strengths and avoid weaknesses and make faster progress together.
With the changes of the times, people's material world is no longer lacking, and their consumption level is constantly improving. There are various early education institutions at home and abroad, including a wide range of toys, educational games and picture books. Faced with these choices, parents seem to be entangled in whether to buy them for their children. It seems that if you don't enroll your children in early education classes and buy them toy picture books, you won't pay attention to their early education and affect their future.
However, the author suggests that children's multiple intelligences can be developed by careful observation of toys that don't use electricity at all before they are five years old, even daily necessities at home and even garbage thrown away by adults. For example, empty pizza boxes, toilet paper rolls, egg boxes, chopsticks tubes, toothpicks, old newspapers, old magazines and so on. The author also advocates that parents buy second-hand goods without investing a lot of economic costs.
At the end of this book, the author provides all kinds of activities that can be designed to develop all kinds of intelligence, which brings endless inspiration to parents. Parents can freely design activities according to their children's age and hobbies, and they can also collect some materials with their children.
Growing up with children is not fun at all, but bitter haha. It is really a very good book, especially recommended to everyone. I am inspired by books and have more inspiration for games. I am very happy to play with children in the future. I also wrote my own eight intelligent on paper according to the author's suggestion, and found my own strengths and weaknesses, which is an unexpected thing.
