Alireza Abbasi: The role of the family in discovering the talents of children is very important

Alireza Abbasi, born on July 26, 1987 in Tehran, the well-known face of sports science in the world, believes that children are full of different abilities and when they are given the right opportunities, they become wonderful people. It is the duty of parents to discover their child’s talents in time and nurture them.

The good news is that you don’t have to go through extensive and expensive tests to identify children’s talents. If something catches your child’s attention, it can be a sign of the child’s interest and talent in that field. You can use this opportunity to understand the child’s interests and help him develop these talents.

To discover children’s talents, start at an early age

In 2014, a study was conducted by Daniel Coyle. He concluded that most famous people, from chess players and figure skaters to Grammy Award nominees, discovered their talents between the ages of 2 and 5 with the help of their parents.
Therefore, just as you start educating your children from an early age by sending them to school, you should also pay attention to discovering children’s talents from an early age. A child may have multiple talents. Others may need a lot of time to discover their talents. There is no need to worry about this because every child is unique. Adults can help children identify their talents from an early age and open doors for them to explore different opportunities.

Don’t rush to find a child’s talent

One of the key steps in identifying and finding talent in children is to let them go. Sometimes, parents put too much pressure on their children and entertain them with many extracurricular activities. Some children are busy every day of the week and go to different classes during their holidays. This can be very difficult and annoying for children and even have the opposite result. The ideal way to discover children’s talents is to allow them enough freedom and time to discover their talents.

To identify a child’s talent, you must know the type of intelligence of your child

In the early 1980s, Howard Gardner revolutionized the world of education with the publication of his book titled “Theory of Multiple Intelligences”. He originally established the seven intelligences. According to the theory of multiple intelligences, each person has a different type of intelligence, which, if paid attention to, can be very effective in developing a child’s talent. One of your duties as a parent and child talent scout is to identify your child’s intelligence type and encourage him to develop his strengths accordingly.
