Expert Answer

Look for things that they're interested in and want to pursue. Then, sign them up for extracurriculars or classes to help them learn new skills.

Question

My kids are 7 and 3 years old. How can I determine if they have any passions or what activities they might enjoy?

Community Answer

You should put them in a variety of fun classes/activities. These will help you know what they like or don't and they may even come up to you and tell you what they like to do. Another thing that I might suggest is to pay attention to them, and most importantly their classwork, that might reveal a hidden passion.

Question

My daughter is 10. She is interested in drawing and playing. How do I know if she has natural talent?

Community Answer

Nurture her interests and enroll her in activities where she can have more experience and more training drawing and doing other things she enjoys to do. You'll probably come into contact with people (art teachers and others) who will give you insight into her abilities. Don't rush this process, as it may take some time for you both to figure it out.

It just means that you are an intelligent person, although you may be gifted in certain subjects specifically.
