Picture Smart

 

Is your little one always doodling, building, or imagining worlds? Do they “see” solutions before saying them? If so, you may be raising a Picture Smart child or someone with visual-spatial intelligence.

What is Picture Smart?

Visual-spatial intelligence is the ability to:

  1. Think in images and pictures.
  2. Visualize solutions.
  3. Create and design with imagination.
  4. Understand maps, patterns, or 3D objects easily.
