14. Key factor for talent identification

15. Observation is the major key
factor
 Parents should be very observant of their child from a
young age itself, to spot their areas of liking! Studies
show that 90% of the human brain develops before the
age of twelve.
 Once these years pass away, the scope for
enhancement of natural talents in children reduces
greatly.
 It is vital that the most is made out of the period
before the age of twelve.

16.  There are two relevant quotes which are ideal to
describe the importance of this,
 “Make hay while the sun shines” and
 “Strike while the iron is hot.”
