Sternberg's Practical Intelligence in Children's Everday LifeBy Andrew Loh Almost all children can learn in an effective manner, if you teach them in a manner that matches their learning abilities. Successful teaching methods for successful intelligence can provide you a practical way to design and create a suitable match. Successful teaching also involves creating a teaching method that can effectively capitalize on the innate strengths and weaknesses of your children. It also helps you to manage or smoke out all weaknesses with better skills and intelligence patterns. A solid and practical strategy always involve a well-balanced learning approach involving such things as enhancing memory, analytical, creative and practical thinking skills. Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Intelligence is a well-tested learning approach that involves using different intelligences to enhance learning abilities. According this learning model, one can ensure successful learning by using an integrated box of abilities, so that your children can attain unqualified success in life. In life, you may not be able to define intelligence in a definite term. Different children have different intelligences and some of them may gain learning skills and intelligence by virtue of identifying their strengths and weaknesses; in fact, success in life may come, when your children nullify their perceived weaknesses by using a range of different strategies. However, both weaknesses and strengths are quite important to your child’s success. In a way, your children will need to identify all weaknesses and correct/rectify issues of their performance, where they are currently underperforming or under-achieving. An honest analysis will also help them understand they can never be good at all types of academic performance. Parents and teachers can help children to identify strengths and weaknesses, so that they strike a balance between them. Your children can find own way of becoming intelligent. In fact, successful children can adapt to immediate environment, shape it or even select own environment.
