A mother sign her 3 children up for a smart game to discover their skills

A mother sign her 3 children up for a smart game to discover their skills in a video showed here. This premade game helped her to spot her children’s strengths and weaknesses and consequently promote their strengths. If two or more kids are raised in the same social circumstance that doesn’t mean that their skills should be the same.

It’s not difficult for parents to identify their kids‘skills and abilities, just they can play with them some kind of genius games; this would help a lot with discovering where their kids’ strengths lie. Despite the child who succeeds to reach his milk bottle in this video is the gifted one but his brothers can learn various skills along their life. They can learn all things their parents know while acquire more skills by engaging in sports and different activities.

This premade game tests the 3 children’s cognitive ability by discovering how they can solve the problem of their room’s door sealed up with duct tape and reach to their bottles of milk. This video teaches you to avoid make comparison between your children because the comparison is unhelpful and may make one of your kids feels inadequate but you would encourage all your kids to focus on mastering skills instead.

The important point here that parents should view the world with their children’s eyes; let them do what is better for them according to their own interests and strengths not according to their parents’ own desire. Parents who observe all times their children’s behavior in the different activities as well as their reactions to TV shows and videos they are attracted to, can easily find out their children’s own interests.

All your children should interact with each other, help each other, and teach each other what they learn. Your children’s diverse skills would help to create a well-rounded learning environment that encourages an intense helpful discussion and interaction between them.

Don’t forget that appreciating your kids’ skills is important to boost their self-confidence and improve their abilities while avoiding to tell your child any disruptive words if he fails to do something.

Many kids lose their skills by the time if they are low-educated. For example, if your child is good with computer skills but he doesn’t take enough educational courses of the several computer programs, he would lose his computer skills because skills are closely related to education.

Kids are naturally curious about what is foreign to them so if they explore more, they would have more skills. For example, kids who keep going to scenic spots with their parents or in trips with their schools, the views of the impressive and beautiful natural scenery help discovering kids’ artistic skills by encouraging them to draw paintings which describe the nature around them.

Other example, kids who are used to travel with their families from city to another or from country to others, try different dishes of food, enjoy different tastes, learn about each country’s herbs, spices, its people’s way of eating, its cookers, they can acquire cooking skills which are developed by time.

Kids under 3 years old, they learn how to pour ingredients into bowls, stir ingredients then 5 or 6 years later they learn how to make and pack their own breakfast for school. Their parents, absolutely, supervise steps that involve using hot or sharp tools or any tools must be handled with caution.

Finally, to sum up, parents should keep an eye on their children to understand their behaviors, their thoughts, their own interests and discover their skills.
