Hi, I’m @roseri, welcome to my blog: #maternidadwithpurposeA SPACE WITH CREATIVE RESOURCES FOR MOTHERS, PARENTS, AND EDUCATIONAL PERSONNEL TO ENJOY TIME OF QUALITY WITH THEIR CHILDREN AND THEIR STUDENTS…

Talents and skills begin to manifest in children aged two to three years, when the child has an interest in the world around him. However, many parents think that their children's abilities will develop when they start going to school.

The baby at 3 years, can already develop a tendency to certain types of activity. A child begins to sing as soon as he listens to the music, while another does not lose a single opportunity to disassemble the machine he has in sight. This does not mean that this is a talent for something. Some skills appear much later.

So, let's try as parents to learn to determine our child's abilities.

Musical skills

Cannot listen to music with indifference, without singing or hitting with the foot and hands to the rhythm of the melody;
Reacts emotionally to a melodic drawing - rejoices with cheerful music and is sad if the melody is sad;
Remember and repeat songs and melodies quickly.

Try to establish causal relationships of various natural phenomena;
He likes to perform several experiments. It is important to distinguish between children's common jokes and the desire to investigate. For example, if a child simply throws toys into a puddle, this is pampering. And if you throw objects of various materials into the water and see what comes out of it (drowning, not drowning), then these are the first experiments;
Watch science programs with interest, scientific encyclopedias for children.

Artistic skills

It may take a long time to consider an image or sculpture;
Is able to appreciate the beauty of objects or nature;
His drawings are diverse, that is, the child does not draw the same type of images, but each time is different;
He likes to draw, sculpt, make crafts with different materials. He often experiments with paints and techniques.

It is worth noting that the artistic abilities of the child do not necessarily mean the talent of the artist. Maybe your baby will be in photography or design. At an early age he will draw, and then you can try photography courses

Sports Talents:

How to develop skills in a child: recommendations for parents.

Promote children's hobbies and interests in a wide variety of areas. If a child loves music, easily falls to the rhythm of a melody or composes his own songs, take him to a music studio. If you prefer active games to books and other "smart" hobbies, play sports with it, etc.
Do not impose your point of view on the child. Often, parents forget this common truth, trying through their children to realize unrealized dreams and ambitions. To prevent this from happening, adults should consider the interests and wishes of the child, and not their own.
Give your child the opportunity to do what interests him. To do this, try to provide everything you need (for example, with pencils and paints, if you draw, or with sportswear, shoes and equipment, if you play sports) and allow everything possible to plan your classes independently.
Do not criticize children if their experience is not as successful as expected. Praise and encourage the child for his efforts to do something, and not just for his natural talent or good fortune.
Do not doubt the child and do not compare it with other children, even if they objectively do something better, otherwise your baby could lose interest in the lesson. Remember, your son or daughter, for any failure, expects support from you, not condemnation or criticism.
Prepare the child for sports or creative activities, explaining to him why he should listen to the coach's opinion and what result he will get when he attends certain classes.

Your child may have different skills, supporting and guiding him is our duty. With age, the child himself will determine what he will do seriously and what will remain a hobby.
