How to understand in time that a child has real talent? What to do to maintain interest and not discourage the hunt?
They say that talent will always make its way. But it’s better to help him. In order for the interests and inclinations of the child to be vividly manifested, it is necessary to create an environment at home for the development of different abilities and just observe. After a while, you will probably notice what exactly your son or daughter has a soul for.

Books: You can read them together or play them out - here's your first stage experiences.

Act gradually
When you understand what occupation the child devotes more time to, carefully "throw up the wood." Maintain the interest and try to understand how serious it is. Perhaps my daughter dreams of becoming a ballerina just to get a tutu. For a start, it is better to do with the usual circle in the nearest children's creativity house.
Watching movies and reading books where the characters have similar interests will help your child better understand themselves. So, in the popular cartoon "How to Train Your Dragon" the hero has an engineering talent, and Angelina the ballerina from the series of the same name has dancing abilities.
Mentor required
If you see that the child is making progress, continues to study at home, proceed to the next step - looking for a serious teacher. At specialized museums there are children's groups, in which classes are conducted by researchers - the level of teaching is appropriate.

It is important not to discourage the desire to study. What mistakes do parents make?
They demand that the child achieve results, victories. Such pressure quickly kills inspiration.
Successes are appropriated ("Of course, we have the first place - I spent so much effort!"). It is important for children that it is their merits that are recognized - this motivates them to try further.
They use their hobby for blackmail: "If you don't learn physics, I'll throw out the colors." So your favorite pastime quickly depreciates.
Let your natural tendencies develop calmly. Classes will be beneficial, even if a national artist does not grow out of a child.
