The Wonder Children + Parent Community exists to support this shift—from managing behavior to understanding perception, from compressing children into narrow systems to building environments that meet their intelligence with respect.

When we try to understand children, we often begin with what we can see. Do they listen? Do they comply? Can they regulate themselves in the way we expect? Behavior becomes the surface signal we rely on to interpret maturity, readiness, and success. Yet behavior is never the starting point. It is a reflection.

MultiSensory Intelligence™ (MSI) reframes human development around this truth. Developed by Dr. Therese Rowley, MSI describes how certain children—and increasingly, adults—process information through multiple perceptual channels simultaneously.
