Hello
mommies. I've very interesting topic to share today. Have you ever heard about
Multiple Intelligence? Hmm..actually I pun baru je berjinak-jinak dengan theory
ni since I've started to handle program through Blooming Years
Academy. One of our latest program was about Multiple Intelligence. Very
interesting topic to understand about our children.
Among
many things we are learning and reinforcing in today's classroom especially with
our current education system, the idea that we are intelligent. Howard Gardner
has come out with his Multiple Intelligences Theory where we are smart in all 9
areas. Some of us might be more developed in some intelligences areas, and others
will be more developed in other areas.
Search more info about this theory, mmg sangat berguna.
So how
does the theory relate to our children?
Cara
pendidikan kita sejak dahulu sampailah sekarang, bnyk menekankan aspek
cemerlang dalam academic (brain smart) sebagai perkara penting yang mesti ada
pada kanak-kanak. They have to be excel in academic in order for us to consider
them as smart children. Whereas, every child is different. They are smart in
different way. They might not be smart in academic, but they could be very good
in musical or interpersonal or maybe a body smart type of children. As parents,
it is so important for us to understand about our children. Anak-anak kita
lebih cenderung ke arah category yang mana supaya kita lebih bersedia untuk
memberi sokongan dan pendedahan yang betul. Bukan semata-semata menekankan
aspek academic sebagai pengukur aras bagi setiap anak-anak kita.
Talking
about Multiple Intelligence, I've been invited to witness the launching of the
new and unique S-26 GOLD® PROGRESS® and S-26 GOLD® PROMISE® on 16th
October at Hilton Hotel Kuala Lumpur by Weyth Nutrition. This new formulation
with increased nutrients of 5 times DHA, 40% more of Lutein and 20% more
Choline to support children's eye and brain development.

During
the launch, they have also invited Dr Azam Mohd Nor, Pediatric Cardiologist
and Ms Indra Balaratnam, Consultant Dietition to share with guests
the importance of right nutrient intake for children 1 year and above. It is such
a fruitful sharing session on how inadequate nutrition for children could give
a big impact to their brain & body development.
Towards
the end of the event, we're so lucky when Ms Indra guided us to a cooking demo,
providing simple yet very nutritious snacks for our children. By
using the S-26 GOLD® Growing-up milk as one of the ingredient, Ms Indra
shared with us the tips on how to extend versatility when cooking for our
children. Cooking time with children can also be a learning activity
to inculcate nutrition, empowerment skills and most importantly, to
foster healthy eating habits from young.
