HOW TO DISCOVER YOUR CHILD’S GIFT

Everyone is born with different strengths and weaknesses. 

As parents we are given the privilege of discovering our children’s gifts and talents. 

Whether they are physical, emotional or spiritual gifts.

So how do we go about discovering our children’s gifts? Here are 3 practical ways to do this.

First, we should pay attention and observe.  We can learn so much about our children’s personalities, likes and dislikes through observation. 

When we think back on certain situations or past events, we often discover something about our children’s gifts.

💎 You can do this by asking yourself these questions:

♦️What is my child good at?

♦️What does he enjoy doing? 

♦️Does he get excited about certain toys, situations? 

♦️What scares him?

♦️What comes naturally to her? (for example, organization, social situations, art, sharing, etc.) 

♦️Is there something they are passionate about?

💎Second, as parents we must provide our children with opportunities to grow and learn. 

Please don’t register them for everything, that may be too much for them to bear. 

But if your child expresses an interest in art or helping others, provide them with opportunities to experience it.

💎Last, but not least we must pray and ask God what He has for our children. Be specific in your prayers. Ask God what gifts He placed in your children. Ask throughout the years. Ask him to reveal the hidden treasures in your child.

‼️ 4 Practical Tips to Bring out Your Child’s Gifts

1️⃣ READ ALOUD TO THEM (especially when they’re still little) 

2️⃣ HELP THEM DISCOVER THEIR INTEREST 

3️⃣ WHEN THEY ASK YOU QUESTIONS ANSWER THEM (don’t dismiss their curiosity)

4️⃣ ENCOURAGE STORY TELLING 

5️⃣ ENROL THEM IN A PROGRAM DESIGN FOR GIFTED KIDS 

👉My final thought,

Dear parents, we must be patient. These things take time. We also must keep our expectations in check. Are we encouraging our children or pushing them to do things they weren’t created to do? Instead of forcing my standards on my kids, I want to discover what God has for them!

Please remember that not all boys will be good at football, some boys may love singing, dancing and drawing.

Encourage them because that’s what they love and makes them happy.

Sometimes we’re so academically focused; we overlook the role of creativity, imagination, and fun.” Genius can’t be taught, but it can be encouraged.
