多元 全能 天份��挖掘孩子的潜能 《多维时报》和父母子女教育俱乐部共同举办第七届年会

多维记者 邹兴睿
�语言、音乐、空间感、逻辑思维、社交能力等等都是多元智能的体现。�主讲人王晓蕾的开场白让家长对孩子一下有了立体的认识。�当过主管，创建过公司，做过老师，办过学校，也激流勇退回家当过家庭主妇���四位专题讨论会的专家每一位都十分丰富的背景，让人不得不考虑他们在不同环境展示出的不同能力。

10月9日，《多维时报》和父母子女教育俱乐部共同举办了第七届专题子女教育研讨会。今年的主题为�多元智能=全能？�（Understanding Multiple Intelligences， Knowing Yourself），旨在为家长提供�更好理解多元智能，了解你自己，了解孩子。�这样的讨论平台，为到会家长提供了精彩的演讲，并和主讲人及各位专家展开了丰富的讨论。

主讲人王晓蕾（Xiao-lei Wang）1992年从芝加哥大学获得博士学位， 目前在Pace University 任教育学教授。王教授是一位跨学科的学者。她的研究领域很广，涵盖子女教育的文化模式，非语言交流对在家中多种语言习得和发展的影响。

她在演讲中提到，看起来淘气，无用的孩子，经过正确的引导和启发，一样可以成材。尤其是要学会从各个方面挖掘孩子的潜能，多元智能涵盖面其实非常广泛，在语言、音乐、逻辑思维等等方面之外还有更广阔的空间，要不断的鼓励孩子发现自己，并在日常生活中避免给孩子负面的影响以及应付的态度。另外，�给孩子机会，让他们有更多的机会去接触不同的事物，有自己的判断才能不断成长，哪怕是错的，家长不能全部代劳。�

本次专题讨论会上的几位专家，前AT&T的主管David Lu，创办私立学校的廖冰（Bonnie Liao），出版过多部畅销书的作家陈屹（Helen Chen），以及创办个人权利公司的 Loise Kuo Habakus，他们丰富的经历为家长们打开不同的眼界。主持人刘向群为他们各自的经历喝彩，并穿针引线的让他们分别介绍了在不同领域和经历中如何发掘出了各自的能力。

来自上海的David Lu在AT&T做了23年，主管过百余人，同时在音乐领域和教会，以及培养孩子上有很多体悟。Louise说自己是美国长大的华人第二代，从小父母和自己的要求就是要做个乖乖女，好学生，好妻子，好妈妈，从开始做母亲的那一天起，她就发现自己的工作角色完全改变。陈屹表示，从小父母就言传身教�一切要靠你自己。�作为1977届的大学生，又有着非常多的经历，她说那一届只是有着比常人更加执着更加坚持的精神，教育孩子中她也把这些融合其中。为华人熟悉的廖冰，先后任职美林证券，高中教师.等不同职业角色，她在教育上的激情从来没有间断过，创建了英华日校，并积极筹建中英双语私立学校。

本届会长吴建华（Dennis Wu）介绍了父母子女教育俱乐部，以及HASA，多维时报和甘肃万华实业集团等支持者。他表示PCE自成立以來每個月都堅持舉辦活動，提供各種講座，知識問答，戶外活動，提供切磋孩子才藝的舞臺，同時為各位家長建立非常好的咨詢交流平臺。 =============================================================

第七届子女教育研讨会暨年会

"多元智能=全能? Understanding Multiple Intelligences, Knowing Yourself" is the theme of the 7th annual Chinese American Parenting [CAP2010] conference.

Since 1983 when Dr. Howard Gardner, a Harvard professor of education developed the concept of �multiple intelligences,� there have been misconceptions about the concept as well as its application in parenting and in classrooms. How can this well-researched concept help parents to help their children achieving their potential?

We are fortunate to have Dr. Xiao-lei Wang (王晓蕾) as the keynote speaker. Dr. Wang received her doctoral degree from the University of Chicago in 1992. She is currently a full professor in the School of Education at Pace University. Dr. Wang was a regular speaker for Voice of America, local, national, and international parents� associations on child and language development. In addition, she is a regular invited reviewer for several academic journals. Dr. Wang is an interdisciplinary scholar. Her research covers a wide range of topics such as cultural parenting styles, effects of nonverbal communication in teaching and learning, multilingual acquisition and development in the home environment, and moral development. Her recent books �Growing up with Three Languages� and �Reading and Writing in the Multilingual Home� (in press) focus on the challenges and strategies of raising children with heritage languages.

Following the keynote speech, Ms. Sandra Liu will moderate a panel discussion focusing on a wide range of practical parenting issues and questions related to this year�s theme.

Dr. Bonnie Liao: Educator & entrepreneur, longtime adviser of the PCE Club.
