No more scratching your head, these 11 dimensions clearly reveal where your child’s talent lies.

I have always felt that it is a lucky thing for both adults and children to be able to find the child\’s strengths when the child is still young and clearly know what kind of things his child is better at doing. Because every child is unique and comes to us with a natural temperament and talent. There are always some things that they are easier to do well, and there are always some things that they are not so good at. Cultivate children in a way that is suitable for their talents and temperament. Both adults and children will be happy, and children will be more likely to succeed. But children are so young, and everything they do is only a matter of three minutes. It is indeed not easy to capture the child’s talent. A friend of mine once enrolled her three-year-old son in five or six trial classes for interest classes, including art, dance, piano, Lego, English… everything. I asked her why? She said that she didn’t know what she was interested in or what her talents were, so she would try everything. In fact, by not being so \”trial-and-error\” and observing children carefully, we should be able to tap into many of their children\’s talents and potentials. Recently, when I was reading foreign literature, I saw a lot of more practical and actionable guides on \”how to discover your baby\’s talent.\” I would like to share it with you today, so that we can better understand where the baby\’s potential lies and what direction to support it in. child development. Starting from these 11 dimensions, discover where your baby’s talent lies? There is no general consensus in the educational community on what kind of children are gifted children. However, research on gifted children still provides us with some methods to find out children’s talents: we can observe some of the children’s performances in terms of vocabulary, creativity, imagination and curiosity, and compare them with children of the same age. , to see if the child has some talent and potential. Below are 11 observational dimensions for identifying your child’s talent. Dimension 1: Curiosity. Children with cognitive and creative talents are full of strong curiosity about everything in the world around them. They like to touch and smell everything they see, and ask endlessly: \”Why\” Is the sky blue?” “Where did I come from?” “Why are some people homeless?” Dimension 2: Memory Children with cognitive and creative talents can quickly remember and acquire what they have heard before information in things or words. (Fast memory and rapid learning abilities are one of the characteristics of gifted children.) Compared with children of the same age, can the baby: remember where the toys are hidden? Remember time and place better? Dimension 3: Concentration. Pay attention to whether the child can concentrate on one thing for a long time. (If children can be easily attracted to a certain content and motivated to learn, they may be gifted.) Children with good concentration have these symptoms: Interest in a story can last for a long time (most babies are interested in a story) The story has a short duration of interest). For example, if a child becomes interested in dogs and is obsessed with studying different types of dogs and their characteristics, gaining a lot of knowledge about dogs in a short period of time, this may be a sign of outstanding concentration and learning motivation. Performance. Dimension 4: Creativity has the following manifestations, which are signs that the child has creative talent (absent-minded but very creative is another sign of gifted children)A feature), pay attention to the child to see if the child likes: the story he made up. Old problems often come up with new solutions. When playing with Lego or similar toys, you can build very creative things. Be imaginative when painting, doing crafts, or other forms of play. Improvise with instruments and stuff like that. Dare to take risks, have independent opinions, and like to think independently. Prefer using visual arts, drama or music. In the game, imagine a very complex \”plot\”. Maybe have imaginary friends. Dimension 5: Numerical Representation If children can notice that \”26\” and \”62\” contain the same number, or have multiplication abilities above average for their age, they may be gifted in mathematics. Parents can try playing some math games with their children: children who can count in different languages ​​may have mathematical talent. Play matching games with your child to observe their math abilities. A child who can add and subtract more easily than other children of the same age may be gifted. Dimension 6: Reading Ability If a child\’s reading ability is far above the average level for his age. If the child reads several books a week and can understand what is in the book. Dimension 7: Hands-on ability looks at whether children have intuition about technology, such as radios and computers. If your child quickly learns to use new software or enjoys playing with the radio, he may have perceptual and technical talents. Dimension 8: Problem-Solving Ability A child\’s ability to solve problems may also be gifted (which many people often use, especially since this is used to define giftedness). Pay attention to your child\’s ability to play puzzles and other complex games. Dimension 9: Social Activities If your child likes to take charge of activities and is willing to accept challenges, he may have above-average leadership skills. (One of the signs of gifted children is outstanding leadership skills, including the ability to think independently and critically.) Pay attention to the child’s leadership potential: he likes to try many different things and is willing to challenge things beyond their abilities. . Being able to do things well on his own without having to be reminded by his parents. Can understand the feelings of partners and family members. Always the brightest one in group activities. They behave very maturely for their age. Likes to organize teams. Likes to evaluate risks and weigh pros and cons. Dimension 10: Communication skills If you hear your child using words and descriptive language used by adults, especially language that evokes emotions, your child may have good communication talents. Look out for the following: Ability to explain things particularly clearly. Can use rich vocabulary and descriptive language. Use synonyms. Highly developed vocabulary that focuses on the emotional side of the story. Use correct grammar and use long, complex sentence structures. Dimension 11: Plan games with your children in advance and observe to see if they have the ability to think ahead. If your child always anticipates a few steps during play, they may have a talent for planning. By doing these two things, the child\’s potential will UPUPUP. By observing the child from the eleven dimensions above, parents can have a more comprehensive understanding of their child, and can roughly judge what aspect the child is good at, art? music? leader? plan? returnIs it to communicate with people? Dimension 1-Dimension 8, children with outstanding performance may have talents in \”cognition and creativity\”. They are full of curiosity about the things around them and always ask questions from morning to night. They have good memory. Ability to quickly remember and retrieve information from previous events. Dimension 9-Dimension 11, children with outstanding performance may have talents in leadership, social skills and planning. They like to try different things, challenge themselves, and express themselves in crowds. They have good problem-solving skills. , very own ideas. Although the test gives us some directions for judgment, it is not enough to identify a child\’s talent based on these 11 literal dimensions. A child\’s performance is three-dimensional, and our observation and judgment of the child must also be continuous. To better explore their children\’s talents, parents must do two things: 1. Observe their children carefully and attentively while accompanying them. Many parents tend to generally say that their children have \”good memory\” and \”smartness\”, but do not further identify their baby\’s strengths and weaknesses in further detail. This may miss the opportunity for their children to develop their talents. A friend of mine found that when his child was about one year old, he discovered that his child was particularly interested in dinosaurs. He would watch cartoons and TV only about dinosaurs and nothing else. My friend is a very careful mother. She gradually bought various atlases, picture books, popular science books, and models about dinosaurs for her children. When she had time, she took her children to museums and made fossils with her children… The children absorbed this knowledge. Soon, when the baby was 4 years old, he could talk about the origin of the earth, the geological age when dinosaurs lived, and the reasons for the formation of fossils, and he was like a little paleontologist. Although this does not mean that the child has biological talents, in the process friends can better feel what the child absorbs quickly, which can further help mothers develop their children\’s talents. 2. Provide as much support as possible mentally and materially to the child. When a child shows creative talent, we not only need to provide the child with a variety of materials and visual stimulation, but also satisfy the child\’s curiosity. Our support directly determines whether a child can achieve a certain talent. For example, if a child shows talents in emotions, emotions, and interpersonal relationships, we can try our best to create opportunities for the child to play with children, read more picture books to the child, and help the child understand and learn to deal with emotions. The method is wrong and limits the development of the baby\’s talent potential. What I want to say in particular is that in real life, when children have such \”weird\” behaviors – why do they keep asking questions all day long, like to use tools to cause destruction, and are competitive? Competitive to the point of paranoia, and particularly sensitive to rules… We should not prevent the seeds of genius from germinating, nor should we not support and understand them, but also hope to force the baby to become a \”normal person\”, which limits the possibility of the baby\’s potential development. This point has been studied in psychology: if parents do not discover their children\’s talents as early as possible, the baby\’s talent development potential may be limited. He may feel that he is different from other children and hide his talents in order to make himself gregarious. To make yourself behave like ordinary children.Moreover, if the baby\’s own talent is not discovered and does not receive due encouragement, the genius baby may also show characteristics such as violence and depression, which is also very detrimental to the baby\’s long-term development. I have always believed that it is inappropriate and meaningless to define children by \”genius\” or \”mediocre\”. Every child has his own talent, and there are no standards for education, but it is important to help them find what they are good at. In addition, please remember that the development of children\’s talents is a tortuous process. For most children, the development of talents is not that easy. Many children or parents will mistake temporary interests for talents and invest in areas they are not good at. Feelings and experiences. Former U.S. Secretary of State Rice, who was once known as the \”Black Rose\” in the White House, her mother is a piano teacher, and her childhood dream was to one day become a professional pianist. At the age of 16, Rice entered her father\’s Lamont School of Music at the University of Denver to study piano performance. She thought that one day she would be able to perform as a soloist in a music temple like Carnegie Hall. But the reality is that she has no musical talent. How do you know? One summer while studying at university, she attended a music festival and saw \”those 11-year-old kids who, with just one look, could play something that would take me a year to play.\” She thought, \”I\’m not going to do that.\” \”Maybe one day I\’ll play at Carnegie Hall.\” The musician\’s dream was shattered, and Rice went on to receive professional figure skating training for many years, getting up at 4:30 every morning and going to the rink to practice her footwork. Of course, She did not develop this into a professional specialty. It was not until she entered college that Rice took an international politics course taught by an expert on the Soviet Union. It was this course that made her pay attention to the US-Soviet issue and truly found her own destiny. Specialties. Although some genius babies may win at the starting line as soon as they are born because of their talents, if their education does not keep up with the development, it may not ensure that they will become the final winner on the long track of life. More importantly, the child’s talents The extent to which our potential can be unleashed in the future depends on whether we can observe it, tap it out, and continue to guide and cultivate it the day after tomorrow!
