Jen has a wonderful headline on her website: Learning was meant to be FUN!

We concur, of course.

This is a fun and enlightening interview where you’ll hear a real expert reveal:

The limits of conventional IQ Tests.

What the eight intelligences are that each child is gifted with.

The myriad ways kids learn because of their innate multiple intelligences.

Why we need to acknowledge these intelligences and realize they are elastic and change.

The damaging affects of our schools’ standardized testing regimen on your child’s multiple intelligences—and what you can do to remedy it.

Jen reveals how failure to recognize and facilitate a child’s multiple intelligences sabotages their career and later life opportunities.

Kidzmet has an on-line inventory test you can use to find where your child’s attention, key intelligences and true interests lay. And this can be used to facilitate and optimize your child’s learning and potential.
