Absolutely! So true 💖 Every child has their very own Super power to help them shine ⭐✨💖

THERE IS NOT JUST ONE KIND OF SMART

Every child is smart.
Book smarts measure one intelligence.
But there are many others.

There are kids who are brilliant with their empathy and kindness.
Some kids excel at spatial relations.
Other kids are gifted at communicating with everyone around them.

There is not just one kind of smart.

The kid that struggles in school may be an amazing artist.
The kid that sits by himself might be a whiz on the computer.
The kid that is terrible at math might shine as a writer.

There is not just one kind of smart.

When we emphasize one form of intelligence,
it dismisses the importance of the other ways they glow.
Each kid has their own inner spark.
We can encourage them to do their best in all areas,
while ensuring that their flame never extinguishes.

Because when we remember that there isn’t just one kind of smart,
𝑤𝑒 𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑎𝑢𝑡𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑡𝑦𝑝𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑒𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟𝑠.
