Children's talent can be recognized from what age?
Your child's talent can actually be observed since toddlerhood. Parents should pay attention to what they like and dislike. Because usually early on, the child shows certain patterns that can be observed. From this pattern can form a habit or interest of the child.
Talent is born or formed doc? How is the process?
Can be from both. Because since birth the child has been equipped with certain talents and each child already has their own seeds. If you already have this basis, parents can support to develop this talent. The role of parents is to find children's talents, provide support and observe what they like. Then after that can determine what steps to optimize your child's talent.
How to recognize children's interests and talents from infancy?
The importance of bonding time between parents and children from an early age. By strengthening the relationship, parents will find it easier to understand what the child likes through daily activities. If the child is able to speak, parents can invite the child to discuss what they are interested in. For example, the child likes music so parents can invite singing more often.
How to optimize your child's talent according to their interests?
How to optimize your child's talent by helping their brain and physical development in a balanced way. Parents must provide proper stimulation and introduce many activities to their children. This can help your child improve analytic and problem solving skills and creativity before entering school. These basic abilities are important foundations that must be strengthened from childhood.
Is your child's talent influenced by genes or heredity?
Your child's talent can come from their parents' genes but not always. It is possible for children to have certain talents not from parents. Your child's talent can indeed be influenced by parents but don't be discouraged if parents don't have talent.
Is it true that a child's talent will disappear if it is not trained or not honed?
If not trained, it is actually said to be lost, of course not. But the talent is not developed. In other words, the seeds are still there but not formed. So that your child's talent must be honed continuously.
How important is it for us as parents to support children's talents?
The role of parents is certainly very important. From the beginning, children depend on the surrounding environment, the closest people, parents, teachers or extended family who can provide stimulation so that talent continues to develop.
Tips for being a supportive parent who supports your child's talent?
The key is not to impose the will of parents. Because what parents give is not necessarily liked by the child. When your child likes something, parents can continue to provide it. It does take time to observe and establish good communication. That is why time with parents is very important and prioritize the comfort of the child not to make the child feel forced. (Aq/MKK)
