– To create talent and success in your child – let them embrace difficulties and challenges, teach them to operate at the edge of their abilities to achieve goals.
Many of us see it as our mission to make our children’s lives comfortable, pleasant, and enjoyable. We try to provide the happy childhood we ourselves might have dreamed of.
– In many ways, this is exactly how the famous Gen Z was shaped – a generation of young people who often seem particularly fragile, sensitive, and unprepared for real life.
But there is something we can do to help create a talented child — because what we perceive as “talent” is, in fact, the result of hours and hours of focused practice at the edge of one’s ability. Making mistakes, learning from them, and continuing to practice is how we grow and master any skill.
– If your child is growing up in a comfortable, abundant, and effort-free environment, then it’s your job as a parent to create opportunities for challenge and growth — situations where they can struggle, make mistakes, and push themselves to the limit.
This isn’t just the path to becoming talented or exceptional — it’s also the path to real happiness.
