EVERY CHILD IS TALENTED
The innate gifts of children and what we do with them

The prevailing opinion about giftedness and intelligence is not only wrong, but also very dangerous. Parents and schools do everything they can to develop children's skills. But since our education system still focuses almost entirely on the transmission of knowledge and achievement, we produce the 'best' pupils and students who then fail in their personal and professional lives. Thus, many unused and unsatisfied talents remain in the background.

This book frees parents and schools from an obsessive fixation on achievements and offers a long-awaited perspective on an important public debate that has been deadlocked for years.

Gerald Hütter and Uli Hauser describe what each child's inherent gifts really are and how the child's brain develops. They show that our education pays too little attention to this issue, and call for a radical rethink: to properly support, rather than improperly encourage, so that every child can develop to their full potential.

The presence of a gift does not necessarily imply a particular achievement, ability or skill. The talent at first it is only a potential possibility later to acquire a special ability and to reach certain results different from what is attainable by others.

With scientific backing and purely human concern, the two authors examine the most important questions that every parent asks:

How to recognize talents in our children? What should we as parents and educators do with them? What are the main prerequisites for the development of children's abilities? What are the main reasons why they remain hidden and unrealized?

This is exactly what this book is about - accompanying you in search of undiscovered treasures, namely your children's potential.
