Each parent wants his child to be able to realize himself in this life, find a job to his liking, and become a successful person. Many make every effort for this, from infancy, developing the baby, leading him to circles, finding the best teachers and tutors. In order for this approach to bring maximum benefits, it is necessary to identify the child’s abilities as early as possible and to specifically develop them. For this, mothers and fathers should know what inclinations children have and at what age they are determined. We’ll talk about this today.
Abilities, inclinations and inclinations
Every child from birth has certain characteristics of the body and nervous system. One has an excellent ear for music, the body of the other is very flexible and light, the third stands out from infancy with unconventional thinking. Such genetic prerequisites are called makings.
Children intuitively feel in what activity they manage to achieve high results most easily. They enthusiastically master this area, give it a clear preference. Such selectivity in the choice of occupations is called "inclinations." Usually you can notice them at the age of 4-5 years.
Based on the makings and inclinations, with proper training and education of the child, abilities are formed. They help a person to easily achieve success in a particular professional activity. However, if the baby was born in adverse conditions, his talents may never manifest. The ability of preschool children is important to notice and support on time. It is unlikely that Mozart would have achieved such outstanding results if there had not been a single musical instrument in his house.
The makings of the artist
Creative abilities of children are shown earlier than others. Future artists from 3-5 years old:
- long and with pleasure engaged in drawing, modeling, application;
- transmit through the used material the characteristic features of an object or character;
- they don’t need templates; they open up new techniques and techniques without prompts;
- notice the beauty around them, admire the rainbow, sparkling snow, enjoy viewing paintings in museums;
- they make crafts of applied nature, which can be used to decorate the interior of a room or used to create a stylish image (beads, bracelets).
It is important to attach such kids to joint creativity, to organize home exhibitions. Be sure to visit the Museum of Fine Arts, show the child reproductions of famous paintings. Pay his attention how with the help of certain paints or strokes the artist achieved the desired effect.
Musical gift
Sometimes its manifestations can be seen in a one-year-old baby. Future composers and performers:
- emotionally react to music, move to the beat;
- recognize the song by the first notes;
- easily reproduce the melody heard;
- they compose simple songs themselves;
- love to play with musical instruments.
If your child shows such qualities, introduce him to classical music. Together go to a concert, to the opera, watch a children's ballet. Get musical toys. When the baby is older, install music creation software on your computer. And, of course, take the child to a music school.
Artistic data
Many great actors in early childhood read poetry with pleasure, perched on a stool. This path is close to your baby, if he:
- likes to speak to the public;
- very emotional;
- expressively gesticulating;
- imitates beloved heroes, parodies their movements, behavior, voice;
- talking about something, he tries to provoke a certain reaction in the listener.
The creative abilities of
preschool children manifest themselves clearly in only 10-15% of cases. Perhaps your child tries himself in different areas. The task of parents is to take care of the
harmonious development of the baby. Acquaintance with classical music, modeling and drawing, staging home performances, visiting the theater of a young audience - all this should be present in the complex.
Literary abilities
The writer needs not only good imagination, a sense of language, a creative mindset, but also life experience. Therefore, literary talent manifests itself quite late. This can occur in adolescence or adulthood. However, some prerequisites can already be seen in preschoolers. These include:
- love of books;
- ability to retell the plot in a fun and logical way;
- large vocabulary;
- interest in writing your own stories, poems;
- rich fantasy.
Encourage the child’s attempts to invent a fairy tale on his own, read interesting books together, play games with words and rhymes. Even if a great poet does not come out of the children, these lessons will play a role in the lessons of the Russian language.
It is important for parents to pay special attention to the development of creative abilities in preschool children. It is during this period that one can teach them to think in an original way, to express themselves freely through different types of activity. In school years, the education and socialization of children to life in society comes to the fore.
Sports makings
Famous dancers, gymnasts, swimmers and skaters took the first steps on the path of their career at the age of 4-5 years. It is worth considering the choice of a sports section if your kid:
- very mobile;
- differs in good coordination, flexibility, strength, dexterity, endurance;
- not afraid to fall or get a bruise, conquering another construction on the playground;
- likes to play sports games, participate in competitions;
- able to show enviable tenacity while learning to skate or jump rope.
Parents are encouraged to introduce their children to different sports. Go with the whole family to the pool and to the rink, go skiing, find partners for playing soccer, hockey, basketball, badminton.
Technical Aptitudes
You can notice them in older preschool age. Such children:
- Prefer to play with cars and designers;
- assemble new models from available parts;
- often draw vehicles and equipment;
- try to "fix" something on their own;
- love to help father with repairs;
- disassemble toys and appliances to understand how they are made.
Developing abilities in babies sometimes requires sacrifice. This is exactly the case. To protect home appliances from a young researcher, purchase a children's workshop, present a broken phone and write a child in a technical group from grade 1.
Math talent
The obvious inclination of a child to a particular science becomes apparent in the middle or high school. Psychologists warn against labeling too early, dividing children into "humanities" and "techies." Nevertheless, evidence of mathematical abilities in a child can be:
- interest in computing and measurement;
- easy perception and memorization of signs, symbols;
- solving difficult tasks for his age, examples;
- ability to navigate by the clock and calendar before school;
- love of tasks on logic and ingenuity, puzzles;
- the ability to compare objects, classify them according to various criteria.
To instill in a child an interest in mathematics is independent of his inclinations. At school, this subject is considered one of the main. To prepare the kid for mastering formulas and theorems will help games that develop logic, abstract thinking, as well as introducing numbers and geometric shapes. On sale you can find many books with interesting tasks of this type.
Intellectual abilities
Propensities for history, physics, biology or chemistry are usually manifested in adolescence. A possible talent for science in the baby is indicated by:
- curiosity;
- excellent memory;
- interest in learning;
- observation;
- ability to concentrate for a long time on intellectual pursuits;
- attempts to put own experiences, experiments;
- love of reading encyclopedias;
- Passion for puzzles, riddles for quick wits and logic.
The child’s abilities are just beginning to form, so it is important to direct their development along the right path. A future scientist needs not only deep knowledge in a certain field, but also the ability to work creatively with information, formulate problematic tasks, and independently find their solution.
To develop mental activity, invite the child to solve interesting tasks that require a thorough analysis of the situation and flexibility of thinking. Play games that develop voluntary attention, learn to make forecasts, come up with effective strategies.
Leader makings
Organizational abilities of a child become apparent in middle school age. Prior to this, we can talk about them conditionally, since children are just learning to communicate, interact with the team, and make friends. A true leader is not one who wants to be the first and command everyone. This is a person who is ready to take responsibility for other people, inspire them and lead them.
You can talk about the presence of leadership inclinations in a baby if he:
- independent;
- quickly adapts to an unfamiliar situation;
- confidently communicates with an outsider, both with a child and with an adult;
- is popular with peers;
- likes to lead others;
- can captivate friends with a favorite game;
- knows how to convince, not using his fists;
- He is interested in the feelings and motives of the behavior of others.
Parents of such children should be given the opportunity to make their own decisions and make choices. From a childhood, a leader must understand what the error is fraught with and how it can be fixed. Assign responsible tasks to the baby, praise the initiative. In a conflict situation, seek a compromise together. Be sure to instill the right moral values in your son or daughter. After all, he will become an example for others.
Looking for talent
The development of abilities in preschool children is not an easy task. Often, little ones are interested in everything. It is important that mom and dad share any activities of the baby, draw, sing, solve riddles or run after the ball with him. This instills confidence in the little man and a desire to experiment.
The development of creative abilities in children comes first in this age group. The ability to create something new, think outside the box will definitely come in handy in the future for the artist, the scientist, and the head of the company.
The child’s abilities with respect for them will be the key to his successful future. There are no children without talents. It is important for parents to abandon their stereotypes and accept the baby as he is. Then he will open up and be able to grow up a happy person.
