In new memoir, the father of ‘multiple intelligences’ explains how he conceived his famous theory

5 days ago Jennifer

Growing up in Germany, my parents were typical comfortable young people of the 1920s. They danced, partied, skied, and were quite social. But having lost a child in a sledding accident, they were very protective of me. They did not want me to be involved in any activity that might result in serious injury.
