5. Create a supportive environment at home where your child can feel free to display his or her talent. For example, if your child is academically gifted, create a quiet study space to encourage maximum productivity; if your child is artistically or athletically inclined, encourage activities after school that will allow him or her to practice their talent. Your child will feel love and appreciation when you're 100% supportive of their talent, no matter how messy or noisy it may be!

Above all of these tips, be sure to praise and compliment your child for his or her special ability. For example, if your child paints you a fantastic picture or writes a song, praise his or her creative thinking and imagination. Praise is essential for producing the kind of confidence that encourages the blossoming of talent - so get ready to encourage your little Picasso or Dickens so that he or she will be able to realize the full extent of his or her special ability!
