All children have creative talents, but they often go unrecognized without opportunities to develop them. It is important for parents and teachers to observe children closely to identify talents, such as a skill for drawing, singing perfectly, or other arts. Once a talent is recognized, teachers and parents should encourage children to join art classes or lessons to nurture their skills. Some schools may not offer these programs, so parents can enroll children in outside institutions. Unfortunately, talents are sometimes dismissed due to concerns about academic performance, but identifying and fostering talents early can help children develop interests and create better people and world.

1. Creativity Gets Fillip With The Teachers Recognizing It At The
Right Time
All children have good creative skills but not many of these talents come to the fore.

different reasons for this. Sometimes it is the child does not know or recognize its
own skill and it needs the help of others to recognize it.
It is here that the parents and teachers play an important role. Usually the talent that
the child has, will be hidden in most of the cases. It will manifest in all the actions the
child does. If the child is good at drawing the skill will be seen in what he writes and
draws during the class and other work that is assigned to him or her.
A child that has a talent for singing will be seen humming or singing the songs it has
heard. On close observation you can know the child has a good voice and sings
nearly perfectly. So also it is with other talents they will come to the fore during some
activities the child does.
It is up to the parents and the teachers to recognize these qualities and give it a fillip.
If the school provides lessons in such art the child is interested in he or she should
be encouraged to join it. the parents may oppose but the teacher needs to convince
them about the hidden talent.
In case the school does not provide such classes or lessons then the parents can be
requested to admit the child to some institutions that provide coaching in the
particular art form. This will encourage the child to augment the skill it already
possesses.

thought and the child is the sufferer many a time.

and just surviving. So recognizing talent in the right person at the right time can
create good human beings. This will make the world a better place to live.
