Hidden Talents: Every Child Has a Side Waiting to Be Discovered

Every child has a hidden side waiting to be discovered. We explore how interest and love bring out talent, together with the example of Einstein.

Every individual on earth is unique, with their own hidden talents, tastes and outlook on life. The learning journey begins the moment we are born, with all of these differences. But when every child's way of thinking and level of perception differs, is it possible in education to reach every student, that is, to prepare each one for life? In this article we explore that question.

A Life Changed by a Compass

Did you know that Einstein was actually a withdrawn child who seemed disinterested and unsuccessful when he first started school? So what happened afterwards that made his name known to everyone? The answer is one we all recognise: being able to discover his field of interest and the talent within him. His turning point was a compass his uncle gave him as a gift, and his encounter with geometry at the age of twelve.

Every child has a hidden and beautiful side waiting to be discovered.

Interest and Love Equal Success

Education begins in the family with interest and love, and continues for a lifetime with the first step into school. School is a second family where the student finds themselves, discovers their talents and gives direction to their life. When a student feels loved and cared for, a sense of success and belonging to the school develops. Even for the student who appears the most disinterested, change is inevitable when they are looked at with love.

In brief

  • Every child has a hidden talent waiting to be discovered.
  • Interest and love create change even in the student who appears the most disinterested.
  • An atmosphere of trust helps a child feel valued and grow.
