How do we identify the special skills of our children & how to bring them in the same line?

Answer 1

Expose them to everything you can--the arts, sports, classwork, you name it. Take them to museums, like children's museums where they can learn about the world around them, and encourage them in what they find interesting. Don't burn them out, though--they may get frustrated and turn away from it. Let them go at their own pace, and let them know they have your support.

Answer 2

I guess that depends on how old they are. I agree that exposing them to a variety of activities is great, watch them and see which ones they are enjoying and they seem to feel good about their accomplishments. Don't forget that a child can be really good at something and not enjoy it. Contrastingly sometimes children's aren't really good at something, but love it, they can learn the skills needed to be successful.

If your children are school aged you could also talk with their teachers to find out what they feel their strengths are.

Most importantly talk to you children about what they feel they are good at and what they enjoy doing. Then brainstorm (with them if they are school aged) what they can do to be successful, how they can use these skills.

Answer 3

My best suggestion for this would be to expose them to as wide a range of activities as possible . Encourage a healthy relationship with your kid where you talk to them and get to know what they are interested in.
