Each little man is born with a certain set of inclinations, interests and even skills. From an early age, one smart kid likes to count and solve puzzles, set experiments, another only books and reading, the third is comfortable in nature in the circle of birds.
Every child wants to do something that is of great interest. When parents close one door of knowledge in the hope that their child will reach out to another area, it makes its imprint in the soul and mind of the child, who loses interest in any type of employment in general. And it is not so easy to restore the living knowledge of the child's mind of an interesting occupation.
Therefore, scientists and psychologists suggest that parents pay attention to the little things, what the baby is most drawn to, in order to follow the path of developing this area, the necessary skills, which will lead to successful realization of the personality in the future.

Gardner expanded this classification, and based on his observations, he deduced 8 types of intelligence, according to which the development of the child's mind and abilities should be directed.
