Every child has a talent! Parents, grandparents, teachers and other people involved in the child's development can help the child to find that skill that makes your child so unique and special. Encouraging your child to develop his or her natural interests, be it painting, drawing, writing, sculpting, dancing, or anything else that your child truly enjoys and can spend hours doing is so important. Enabling your child to develop in the natural direction where the child's inner talents are leading will help him or her to be confident, to overcome life's difficulties by getting the strength and energy from something that they really enjoy doing. With some kids the talent can be very obvious. Your child may express an interest in art or in mechanics or anything else loud and clear from a very young age, sometimes as young as two years old. Other kids may need more time and trying out different hobbies and activities before they find something that they truly enjoy. Forcing a hobby or an activity on a child usually does not work. If you try to force your child to take piano lessons that the kid really is not interested in, there will not be much benefit and you will most certainly accomplish a high level of resistance and a strong dislike of music if you continue to insist that the child take the piano lessons that he or she has no interest in. Let your child experience different situations, take him to a museum, to a show, to a concert. Let the child pick a place where he or she wants to go. Help your child to figure out what kinds of things he or she truly enjoys. If you find the area where your child is displaying a true interest, do not stop here. You are on the road to finding the child's natural talent and the road may lead you in many directions before you reach the destination. Get the books on the subject of your child's interest, be the enabler who provides your child with the instruments that he or she needs to succeed on this journey. If your child enjoys painting, provide him or her with different painting tools, the canvas, the paper, the paints of different kinds, and see what happens. Even if this is just a quickly passing hobby, your child will gain new skills and knowledge along the way. You never know how trying something new may affect the child. Show genuine interest in what your child has as a hobby and support him or her. Encourage, provide the necessary tools, expand the child's horizons and both of you will have a happier and more fulfilled lives as a result. Help the child to find his or her interest and in return you will have a happy, and confident person who will always have a special place in his or her heart for you as a person that helped them to find their way in life and helped them to discover that special talent that each and every child is born with.
