Talented Kids

***Do you know any talented kids? I mean celebs just don’t sprout from nowhere. They must be kids before. So, do you know any talented little person who is so good that you think he/she might end up big when older? The talent area can involve anything from education (inlc. painting and drawing) to games. ***

Re: Talented Kids

ive got about 20 nephews/nieces.....and plenty of cousins etc....so ive observed alot of kids. However, one of them stands out from all the rest.....hes only 4 and he is so intelligent. He knows all his alphabets/numbers and can read words too and write peoples names. He is a fantastic artist.....his drawings are better than some other 10-year olds ive seen. Generally hes just a very clever and sensible kid.....sometimes he just amazes me....like i said ive got other cousins and nephews and none of them are anywhere as near as intelligent as him. but having observed him since he was just a few months old, i knew there's something special about him....even his teacher at school said he's above all the other kids in the class....and if he's encouraged more he can achieve alot. im a pharmacist myself....but i think i was nowhere as clever as him at his age!

Re: Talented Kids

I was a talented kid. I used to play chess with my grand dad when I was 3. Played chess games and brick ball games on the computer. I was 8 or something when I used to fix video players. Blahhh :stuck_out_tongue:

Apart from that :hmmm: I can’t say I have seen a talented kid around me…

Re: Talented Kids

My Uncles's (father's younger bro) kids are really talented when it comes to arts. From pencil drawing to full scale oil painting, sculptures, recycle-art, Khat-ta-ti (Islamic scripts) --- you name it. Even their writing (english and urdu) is as good as it can get. I'll see If I can scan few of their art-work. They got it from their father (my Uncle) who is God gifted and have done all this in his days.

My son has also got it from his grand-father. At 8, he is really good at drawing, arts and making things out of modeling clay etc. We encourage him as much as we can.

Re: Talented Kids

two of my hubby's cousins are really smart and good kids. one is 14 and the other is 11. both go to gifted schools and are very eloquent and mature. sometimes i dont think they are they ages they are.

I have tons and tons of neices and nephews and cousins (mashallah), but these 2 stand out for me.

Re: Talented Kids

my cousin, who is 14-15 was always very athletic. even though he has breathing issues since he was born, he's always had this amazing athletic ability. i remember when he was around 5 and i was in my teens. he threw a ball much farther, faster and had really good aim. I was amazed.

He got selected to play for the city baseball team.

Aside from this, he has a learning disability. :(. But he is studying to be a hafiz inshallah.

Re: Talented Kids

I know a 6 year old that has finished the Quran. It's just a God given talent and he's able to memorize what he reads fairly quickly.

My older daughter has a pretty decent singing voice. Got it from her paa.

I knew a girl from childhood who grew up to be a fighter pilot.

I know a boy who had suffered from cancer almost entire his life and now he has hifzed Quran (Masha Allah)
