The way it is done is to continually sharpen talent through practice. Talent will not develop when there is no amplifier, so then lost. In addition to talent, they also have an interest in the field involved. The interest will also strengthen the talent.
How to know if our child is gifted? According to Dra. Clara Kriswanto, MA, CPBC, a psychologist from Jagadnita Consulting, gifted children are generally quicker to master certain areas than other children, without spending much effort.

The easy way is to introduce children to peers who have diverse interests and talents.
