We have already touched on the fact that what you do with your child affects both her feelings and her intelligence. But what is intelligence exactly? Is one child innately more intelligent or brilliant than another? Is intelligence a trait you are either born with or born without? Is school the only place where intelligence can be built? Is intelligence gained strictly from book learning, or is intelligence the result of the unique coalescing of study and individual experience? In the next few blog posts I will discuss these questions and I hope that you will discuss with me. For the purposes of this blog, intelligence refers to a child’s mental capacity—her ability to learn.
