What is Multiple Intelligence? - Ella Basco-Inventor

As we close this season of the Shaking Parenting Podcast, we share the very things that we learned from all the wonderful interviews and processing episodes we have done, what we think about the overall experience, and some final words to you—our loyal listeners—who, with us, dream and try our best to create a better world for our children. It is our hope that this podcast has inspired you to dig deeper and go further into your parenting journey.

In this episode, we talk about the things that we liked about Classical education coming from our interview with Keren Chu of @raisingcovenantchildren. How it is about instilling virtue and wisdom to both the child and the parent, the flexibility in the books that you read, the more mature learner knowing when to let go and when to persevere, training your soul what to love, cultivation of habits, and remembering that there are objective truths and objective good.We'd love to hear your own takeaways.

In this episode, we talk about Classical Education with Keren Chu of @raisingcovenantchildren. She walks us through the history of Classical Education (which dates back from the great thinkers like Plato and Aristotle) to what modern educators of today do as they try to retrieve and renew this philosophy of education that gives emphasis on cultivating wisdom and virtue in our children and in the more mature students—the parents. She gives us a peak into their day-to-day homeschooling journey and offers practical tips on how we can apply Classical Education at home. Join us as we discover this pedagogy that introduces us to the seven liberal arts and to what is true, good, and beautiful.We'd love to hear your own takeaways.

In this episode we explored the theory of Multiple Intelligence by Dr Howard Gardner. With the help of Teacher Ella Basco-Inventor of Ella Labs who has 20 years of teaching experience, we gained insights on this theory used by several schools. She shared with us how parents and educators alike can help children determine their “smarts. Listen to anecdotes of confident children who early on know their learning strengths and how parents can apply this theory at home. We'd love to hear your own takeaways.

In this episode, we talk about the things we and children observe and learn because of what’s fleeting and ephemeral in nature and also the relationship we build with nature when we keep going back to it as something that’s constant; how with nature we are hardened and healed at the same time; keeping the child’s wildness so he can contribute uniquely to the world and how nature always provides. Those and more as we process our Forest School interview with Sharon “Shawie” Cortez of @forestschoolph.We'd love to hear your own takeaways.

All these questions will be answered by Forest School Leader, Sharon “Shawie” Cortez, founder of Forest School Philippines.

“A person of will has the power to project himself and shape his life upon a purpose.” Learn about this quote from Charlotte Mason and more about her philosophy from Gina Guerrero-Roldan, Founder and Directress of Living Learning Homeschool, a Charlotte Mason homeschool provider in the Philippines; and a homeschooling mother of four. In this interview, she helps us understand better what a Charlotte Mason education is all about, how a CM-inspired home is like, its approach to literacy and numeracy, how it accommodates different worldviews, religions, even children with different needs. She also talks about morning baskets, living books, and echoes our question as to what twaddle really means. All these and more in this episode.We'd love to hear your own takeaways.
