There are no children, there are people, Janusz Korczak said. Continuing this theme, we can say that there are no adults either. All great people are those children who were not prevented from developing in the direction of interest. The main task of parents is to determine in what plane the child's talents are, and to help move along this path.
Instructions
Step 1
The hardest part in this business is to be patient. Most children cannot decide for a long time what interests them more, so they switch their attention from one subject to another. Observe carefully and impartially. One day your little genius will finally stop his attention on one thing. And here the main thing is not to miss. Suppose he enjoyed drawing. Buy the best paints, palette, paper. With a good tool, work is faster. Subsequently, if interest does not disappear, enroll in a circle, studio. The only thing you shouldn't do is press and rush things. The child may lose interest and withdraw. Children tend to do things "for evil".
Step 2
Support. Even if you do not like the direction in which the child is pulling, under no circumstances tell him about it. Self-confidence is one of the key points. Even if there are all doctors or engineers in your family, and the child is attracted by the spotlights, this does not mean that something is wrong with him. It's just that everyone has their own path. Be loyal.
Step 3
In order for the child to have a versatile idea of life and to be able to choose his own path, visit as many different places as possible with him. Sharing leisure activities should not be limited to visiting the zoo, attractions or cinema. Various exhibitions, museums, concerts, theater have not been canceled. Craving for art is instilled from childhood. An adult simply does not have enough time and desire to change the prevailing foundations of life.
Step 4
Read more. Love for reading is also instilled in early childhood. Books written for the little ones actually carry a huge emotional message. For all the simplicity of the plots, they deal with serious problems of relationships, good and evil, love and betrayal. Listening to fairy tales, the child learns to evaluate, analyze. Poems and fables develop a sense of rhythm. People with a good natural memory grow out of those children whose parents were not lazy and read poems and fairy tales to them at night.
Step 5
Hang a map of the world and the starry sky in the nursery. Willy-nilly, the little man will be interested in what is drawn in the pictures, he will start asking questions. Your task is not to dismiss, but to explain as competently and clearly as possible, ask leading questions.
