Is it possible for a child to decide what is better for him to do? What business should he give preference to, and will it become his hobby? We must entrust this difficult choice to the baby himself. Let him do what he likes, what he will do with desire and pleasure.
Who has the right to choose?
Many parents try not only to surround the child with their care, but also to decide for him what and when to do it. The child is forced to learn the scales, spends energy on grueling workouts. And this despite the fact that classes do not give him any pleasure. So are such "forced" hobbies necessary?
To help a child make a choice on his own, you need to give him the opportunity to try a little everything himself. Let him experience first what attracts him the most. Even if this occupation does not seem serious and status to you.
The child must decide for himself what is priority for him. Worse, if playing the violin, the kid will dream of a hockey stick.
This does not mean that the child should be allowed to go all out. It is necessary to imperceptibly direct and correct all his actions and deeds. For this purpose, you can unobtrusively give examples of interesting things, participate with the whole family in some kind of mass events.
How can you help your child make the right choice?
Let's say your child enthusiastically sculpts from plasticine. The kid sits for hours at this activity, as a result, interesting and beautiful figures are obtained. This already suggests that the child has developed perseverance. In the future, he may be interested in types of applied arts, sculpture, floristry. In this case, you can safely offer the young creator a visit to an art school or a circle of decorative and applied arts.
To form an opinion about the addictions of the baby, you need to more closely observe his actions while performing any work or play.
If the young man is happy to assemble the parts of the designer into unthinkable structures, if he helps his father in repairing a car or an electrical appliance, it is best to send such a child to a radio amateurs club, a young technician's circle or an aircraft model. This passion for technology can become a real hobby.
Girls are more willing to do needlework: knitting, cooking or sewing soft toys. There are many circles in this direction. By helping their daughter develop such hobbies, parents can raise not only an assistant for themselves, but also a future good housewife.
Well, if a child has discovered talents for music or dancing, it simply cannot be overlooked. Usually, such children try to arrange home concerts on their own, actively participate in school events. They are constantly humming or dancing. Such children should be carried away by playing a musical instrument or dancing club. You can be sure that these activities will be enjoyable and loved. The same goes for sports.
Children at an early age try to find activities to their liking on their own. They just do it not so skillfully and on emotions alone. Out of solidarity, they can go to boxing or ballet with their best friend, and then leave an uninteresting circle. We must give the child a try to find and reveal their personal abilities, notice them in time and push them in the right direction.
You should not impose on your son or daughter what you yourself wanted to do, your unfulfilled dream. Only what the soul is really into can become a hobby for life. Therefore, the child must choose what to do in his free time on his own.
