Book Reviews of In Their Own Way: Discovering and Encouraging Your Child's Personal Learning Style

All children are not the same. They all are smart in their own way and this book helps you see this concept and helps you see that they all have their own way of learning. If more people could understand this, our childen, especially those with learning disabilities, would have an easier time in school and with peers and teachers. Very imformative book.

Wonderful advice on raising children

Armstrong is a former learning disabilities specialist who became disenchanted with the concept of disability. His alternative concept of learning differences, or unique learning styles, is modeled on Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences: linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal. Believing that schools have failed to develop children's special abilities, he suggests different ways that parents can help children to learn any subject according to their own style and to develop self-esteem. He also discusses testing and alternative methods of evaluating learning. Parents, teachers, and mental health professionals will find much of interest here.

Super book! I very much enjoyed it and learned from it also!
