According to Howard Gardner,there are eight forms of intelligence: bodily-kinesthetic,interpersonal,intrapersonal,linguistic,logical-mathematical,musical,naturalistic,and spatial.Although children possess all eight forms,they typically develop one to a greater degree.Using this form of intelligence is best to help the child learn.By assessing the child's hobbies and interests,the nurse gains insight into which form a child uses.This child prefers the bodily-kinesthetic form of intelligence,and using bodily motion in learning activities will improve learning.The other answers are not accurate.
