This topic is polemic, because for many years people think that children that always do things l are children with attention deficit disorder, and recently studies reflects the contrary, they can have multiple intelligence.
Usually in schools the teachers use the same boring textbooks and never improvise, they do not think that all the children are different and do not learn in the same way. Teach in the old same way.
The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University. It suggests that the traditional notion of intelligence is so far too limited. Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes eight different intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults. These intelligences are:
1-Linguistic intelligence-( word smart): Involves reading, writing, speaking, and conversing, in one's own or foreign languages.
2-Logical-mathematical intelligence-(number/ reasoning smart): Involves number and computing skills, and solve different kind of problems by logic.
3-Spatial intelligence- (picture smart). Involves the ability to create and manipulate mental images.
4-Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence-(body smart): Involves physical coordination and dexterity.
5-musical intelligence – (music smart): Involves understanding and expressing through music, or dance, or composing, playing, or conducting music.
6-interpersonal intelligence- (people smart): Involves how to communicate with other people and how to work and collaborate.
7-intrapersonal intelligence- (self smart): Involves the ability of control their emotions and thoughts and work with them.
8- Naturalist intelligence- (nature smart):Involves the ability of interactive with animals and plants.
The theory of multiple intelligences proposes a major transformation in our schools; It suggests that teachers be trained to present their lessons in a wide variety of ways using music, cooperative learning, art activities, role play, multimedia, field trips, and much more.
Unfortunately, many children who have these gifts don’t receive much help. Child has not the opportunity to learn in different ways with their unique minds.
For that reason the parents have the responsibility with children they must stimulating with toys, games, books and a comfortable environment when they are babies to find their abilities and weaknesses and reinforce it.

Many people think that is so good that their children have a multiple intelligent, in general is so good but in some cases is so bad, because when the child will be in the school he going to feel many boredom, because for example he know to write and the other children only learn how to can write.
I think that nowadays is good and the reason is for that in the most cases the children don`t like to study so much.

Hi!! Karen for me we have to pay attention to these cases because when students have these problems the teachers have to adecuate or find different techniques or activities to teach. As we know those students are of special needs and is so important that they look their studies like something interesting and make an effort to learn!!!!bye
