If you listen to any parent, all children are the smartest, most talented and most successful.
Of course, this cannot correspond to reality.
Every child has his own abilities, but this does not mean that he must be talented in everything. But parents are unlikely to agree with this.
Why adults tend to overestimate the objective abilities of their children
Egoism
It is difficult for ambitious parents to admit that their child does not have a wide range of talents and a high IQ.
They are ready to perceive this fact almost as an insult.
However, it is important to accept children as they are. Experts note that a child should feel the love and respect of their parents regardless of any of their achievements. Remember that parental love should be unconditional.
They have nothing to compare it to
Sometimes we want to notice only the talent and abilities of our own children, denying the achievements of another child. But this is wrong.
It is important to understand from an early age that one cannot be talented in absolutely everything. It is better for a child to concentrate on what he is really good at.
