How ISP helped me in bringing up Siya?

When I was expecting, I had done a 2 months session called Infant SSY Program conducted by MET Rishikul Vidhalya (recommended to me by a cousin of mine). That time, I was told that a child can be smart in more than one ways and there are more than one type of intelligence which can be very closely noted by parents based on the kind of activities the child performs, interests and abilities! The main ways children's intelligence and abilities are judged in our school systems are through their language and math skills. These are very important skills all children should learn but not the only way in which one should judge the child. Not every child is "Book Smart". Multiple intelligences are a set of different ways to look at how children (and all people) are smart and skillful. Understanding that children can be intelligent and good at different things allows you to help your child learn and succeed by seeing the world through her eyes. It can help you understand how she best shows what she knows and can do. The different types of intelligence are:
1) Visual-Spatial - They tends to solve a lot of puzzles, like drawing, have a good sense of direction
2) Verbal Linguistic - They tends to do a lot of speaking, story telling, writing, listening, having humour element in their conversations
3) Logical-Mathematical - They love problem solving, categorizing classifying, working with geometric shapes
4) Bodily-Kinesthetic - They would tend to show inclination towards dancing, sports, acting, anything requiring physical coordination, creating with hands.
5) Musical-Rythmic - They would tends to do a lot of singing, playing musical instruments, composing music
6) Inter-personal - Able to see other's point of view, listening, able to pick up on cues from others, good at forming good relations with other people, conflict resolution; good leaders
7) Intra-personal - Figuring out their own strengths and weaknesses, analyzing, understanding themselves and how they relate to others

Also, of course a child can have more than one skill and hence more than one intelligence but as parents it is very important for us to recognize them and then channelize their skills in right direction.

Siya is very much inclined towards sports, dance, skating and hence Bodily-Kinesthetic. She is also high on Inter-personal IQ (after all she is mommy's daughter). From a very young age she has been dancing and skating. She is done almost 6 shows till date (she is 5 now)! Also, as she is doing things where her skills are, it comes with her own will without any form of pressure from us. This also makes her a far stable and smart kid in school. A lot of concepts are taught to her while she is doing these activities. Like I remember talking to her about "Law of Inertia" while she was skating, talking to her about "Gravitational Force" when she is tired of climbing up 5 floors everyday, etc. She is eventually turned out to be a very smart girl and smart in more than one way!
