Aptitude may not always be clearly evident because of the individual’s interest, effort (or lack of these elements) and self perceptions. My three kids are gifted and their personalities, achievements and journeys have been and still are very different from each other’s.
As a parent, the best way I’ve found to provide support is to help create opportunities, enable & encourage them to take these opportunities and then let them work out where their interests lie, so they can decide on which of their latent gifts they want to develop, to achieve their goals.
