Is A Child Prodigy Born Or Made?

The question of child prodigies is always intriguing. It is still interesting to see young children accomplishing so much in such a short time. Most people ask, “Is a child prodigy born or made?” The people with exceptional skills who were child prodigies like Mozart, Blaise Pascal, etc., make us think that genius is something we are born with.

There’s no simple answer to the question of whether a child prodigy is born or more. Hereditary and genes are a significant factor in determining the capabilities of a child. With the right environment, one can cultivate their talent. Let’s look at some of the factors that determine a child being a prodigy:

High IQ

High IQ is the marker of a child prodigy, even though it is not the sole determinant. IQ, in itself, has many interlocutors, but genes usually define the IQ range. However, one can always work on themselves to increase their IQ. Children have better learning power than adults, so it’s easy to increase their IQ with the right tools and guidance. Parents can help involve their children in various activities such as learning a musical instrument, which has been shown to have a positive effect on a child’s IQ.

Environment

A child can be born with a high IQ, but if they are not given the right environment to grow, their capabilities can diminish. Parents need to provide their children with the right environment for growth. The domestic environment should be conflict-free. Parents should also help their children develop interests and hobbies. Creating proper habits in childhood also goes a long way in making a child prodigy.

Role Of Paents In Making A Child Prodigy

Parents play the most crucial part of a child’s life, from passing their genes to raising them. With the right parenting and some innate capabilities, any child can become a prodigy.

Psychologist Michael Howe argued, “With sufficient energy and dedication on the parents’ part, it is possible that it may not be all that difficult to produce a child prodigy.”

Parents have to invest their time and make sure that they pay attention to their parenting techniques. It’s essential to have an open and honest communication channel with your child so that you can learn about their interest and talent.
