Don’t think that this is the last word of your child in his/her likes and dislikes. You can repeat the questions after six months. Your child will mention the name of his/her favorite teacher. You can speak to that teacher to know the abilities and disabilities of your child. He may point out the ability or disability of your child that you may never come across with.
There are many ways, by using them you can find your kids interests, likes, dislikes etc. You can implement your own ideas for finding your child’s talents, because as a parent, it is you who knows your child best. Keep observing your child minutely. Adopt any method, that does not matter, but the main focus should be on what is that particular act/thing for which the child is passionate about. He/she forgets everything else while doing such particular thing e.g. playing a football or cricket, singing, dancing, playing music instrument, solving arithmetical problems, writing/reading stories…anything.
God sends everybody to this world with at least one unique ability. The only need is to find that and to polish that unique quality. The natural interest is the best motivation, which prevents one from boredom and leads to the peak of success.
