This book takes parents beyond their child’s academic results and explains why some children who are hopeless in school can emerge as high achievers.

It introduces seven intelligences inherent in every child at varying degrees, namely, verbal–linguistic, mathematical–logical, visual–spatial, musical–rhythmic, bodily–kinesthetic, interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence.

The book also details each of the seven intelligences significance and provides real-life examples of each and supplies a variety of exciting and engaging games and activities to help develop each child into an all-rounded, successful individual.
