“The greatest gift is to help someone identify their potential and provide the right circumstances for its development. There are vast numbers of children in the world who will never fulfill their potential because they are poor, uneducated or forced to work at a young age. But there are also vast numbers of children even in wealthy countries, with compulsory schooling, who will never fulfill their potential either. This is either because they are hot-housed and pressurized too early (remember that frontal cortex which remains underdeveloped until the age of twenty-five?) or because nobody tries to help them. Every child is good at something, and usually they enjoy what they are good at. be a useful guide to what kind of employment or career to choose. Exposing your child to many different stimuli and activities, while watching out for signs of an enthusiastic response, is not so very difficult. But it is amazing how few parents help their progeny identify their natural talent. Hall, Edith. Aristotle's Way (p. 47). Penguin Publishing Group. Kindle Edition. Hall, Edith.
