HOW CAN A CHILD'S ABILITIES BE DETERMINED?
Many parents are concerned about their children’s abilities, whether they have a trait that needs to be developed. Usually, what a child prefers is formed before they go to school, but in elementary school, even at an older age, a child’s abilities can emerge. Adults focus more on the arts, foreign language teaching, and creative ability in the field of literature and fine arts. They rarely pay attention to a child’s propensity to take tests, organizational and leadership skills. Often, creativity in this area is not encouraged by adults, and the child is perceived as cheerful, rebellious.
Every child will be talented, and they need support and the development of their abilities. One is physically strong, another draws a picture well, and a third weaves a poem.
A survey to determine a child’s ability
How to use the survey?
- Evaluate each feature of the child (5 points - the child has a strong expression; 4 points - the expression is above average; 3 points - the average expression; 2 points - a weak expression, 1 point - not expressed at all);

- Try to create a graphical representation of the child's abilities, for this mark 8 areas of ability on the horizontal axis, and the average score obtained on each of them on the vertical axis; a profile (cross-section) of the child’s ability appears in the broken lines.
