3 Tips For Nurturing Your Child’s Gifts And Talents

September 7, 2020 by Annie

While you may see a lot of yourself in your child, it’s important to remember that your child is their own person. As such, your child will likely have their own interests, gifts, and talents that they can and should grow. However, if you’re unfamiliar with the things your child is interested in or good at, it might be hard for you to know how you can help them.

To show you how this can be done, here are three tips for nurturing your child’s gifts and talents.

Encourage Variety Until Something Clicks

Before you really start nurturing your child’s passion or natural abilities, it’s important that he or she first be given a chance to explore a variety of activities.

According to Dr. Robert Myers, a contributor to the Child Development Institute, giving your child a range of activities to try will help them hone in on what they may be good at and see where their natural gifts and abilities lead them. Knowing this, you may want to help facilitate all kinds of activities while your little ones are still little, like piano lessons or other musical instruments, dance, sports, arts and crafts, cooking, collecting, games, and more.

If your child doesn’t seem to feel strongly about something at first, try to encourage them to give it a chance for a few weeks before moving onto something else, as many children like to only do things that come easy to them automatically. However, this won’t always be the way that a passion or talent manifests when your kids are young.

Embrace Their Focus

Once your child has found something that clicks for them, this hobby might quickly become the main thing they want to focus on in their life. But while you don’t want other areas of your child’s life to suffer because of this, embracing their focus can be a great way to help your child grow and nurture their talent. Especially if what they’re doing is clearly bringing them a lot of joy in their life, Kenneth A. Kiewra, a contributor to Fast Company, shares that their dedication should be seen positively rather than negatively.

Always Offer Support

As was mentioned above, many parents find it hard to support their children in a hobby or talent that they don’t understand. But even if you don’t quite get it, you can still offer your child support.

To help you do this, Dr. Susan Newman, a contributor to Psychology Today, shares that you should avoid passing judgement on their hobby or passion. Especially if their confidence is easily shaken, your child will need your positivity and encouragement.

If you’ve been struggling how to nurture your child’s gifts or talents, consider using the tips mentioned above to help you with this dilemma.

About Me

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
