Practical Intelligence

Practical Intelligence in a Child

Is Intelligence in our genes ? The answer to that question is Yes. Yes, a child is born with intelligence, at least to an extent. But what kind of intelligence.

There are different types of intelligence.

1. Analytical
2. Practical

So, a child can be born with analytical intelligence. A child can start speaking when six months only. Chris Langan was one of such people who talk himself to read by three years of age. Born in an extremely poor home where he had only one pair of clothes to wear and barely nothing to eat. He was an intelligent child, a born genius with lots of analytical intelligence but no practical intelligence and that is why he ended up buying a house on a farm with books and animals, with research papers he wrote that would never be published since he couldn't continue college and since he didn't know what to do about it.

What is practical intelligence and where does it come from?

Child Psychology and Advertising

Who benefits the most from advertising?

If you have noticed young children, you should know the boundaries of their world. Their world starts with them and ends with them. That is how big their world is. They think they are the world and everything around them should revolve around them. They should be the focus and the attention. That is why sometimes the first child who is the center of attention becomes jealous on the arrival of a new sibling. The child doesn't want to share the world of undivided attention and focus.

When they are toddlers and in their first year, the eye is trying to adjust and learn how to focus on an object. The fist eight months are spent in this practice. When they open eyes to the world, a huge colorful world full of strange objects awaits them and they try to use their five senses not only to develop their senses of sight, touch, hearing, taste and smell but also to learn and grasp what they are surrounded with.
