Help Your Child Discover His Talents
Each individual has different capacities, some more developed than others. We display our skills from an early age and with them we become useful individuals for our close environment and society. For this and many other reasons, help your child discover his talents from the first moment he lets them surface.
How to help discover and develop your child’s talents?
These special abilities are found in human beings in three fundamental branches: the intellectual, the emotional and the motor. The child will demonstrate what they have in each of them according to their development and growth; it is there when the perception of their parents or adults in charge comes into play to identify them.
The first step in helping children discover talents is for their parents to identify what they are capable of and what their main strengths and weaknesses are, as they see them unfold in their environment. This appreciation is what will help to clearly identify what skills they have, and will also indicate the way forward to train them according to their interests.
At what age to start the assisted development of talents in children?
From very early, practically from the moment of its birth until the age of three, the child goes through a process of gestation of its capacities ; Many parents make the mistake of pressuring their little one to do certain activities in the way they think is right, without giving him space to figure out how to do it on his own.
There is nothing wrong with carefully guiding children, but it is necessary to let them function freely enough in their environment. They must be the ones to figure out how to fend for themselves – with due caution – under certain circumstances.
For example, if at three years of age he does not handle the pencil well, we must remember that he is still in a process of motor development. Far from pressuring him, you have to teach him very patiently how is the correct way to do it.
Help your child discover his talents from the very beginning. At the same time, it strengthens his capabilities in each of the aforementioned branches without putting pressure on him. Later, preschool education – between the ages of 4 and 6 – will boost the development of all their skills.
Get your true talents
After going through the process of preselection of activities, parents must be very observant and determine if the child is really capable of doing them. This is a new opportunity to determine if your dexterity is motor, if you are ready to read and research or if you like, on the contrary, to explore and discover.
To be sure that the activity is correct and that it arouses real interest in the child, you must wait a prudent period of time to observe its evolution. This can be from 3 months – at least – up to a year. After this period, we can evaluate your performance and be sure that you really like what you do.
By the time they reach seven years of age, children have the ability to decide which activities they really want to do and which ones they don’t. Consideration of what they want is essential so that they can fully enjoy their talents; in this way, they also move away from the frustration of being forced to do something that they do not like.
Remember that your support is the basis of their success
At home you have a child waiting to be different, eager to be successful and to enhance all his abilities. Always keep in mind that there is no one better to assist him than his own parents ; Help your child to discover his talents so that, in the future, he will be a confident individual and free from fear to take on new challenges.
Remember that parental support is essential for the optimal development of the child, both physically and mentally. Your child will always be happy to show you his achievements, his successes, and will seek refuge in you when he encounters failure and frustration.
