1. Not afraid of mistakes
Genius is trying new and not afraid to take risks. Do not cultivate a dangerous perfectionism in the spirit of "if there's anything you do, do it perfectly." The child, who is already excessive demands on themselves, these settings can hurt, so do not focus on the failures.
Help your child to believe that love him not for success. He is no baggage of life experience, he does everything for the first time, and the remarks and ridicule unlikely to add enthusiasm. Instead of criticism on any occasion inspire: if something does not work - it does not matter, come next time.
2. It is easy to work as a team and alone
Even genius sometimes need help. He should be able to everything: to set and allocate tasks, and delegate work with your hands, and when necessary - to deal without a team with all the tasks from different areas.
The aim of the team - not to prove who is the most intelligent or capable of, and together create cool things and ideas that embody who received only general labor. Explain to your child that in the world there may be people who view that may be different from it - and this is absolutely normal. And of course, we should not compare the child with others: it does not matter, it is better or worse, everyone is good in its own way.
3. It has a high emotional intelligence
Your child can find a common language with different people, recovers quickly from stress, deftly out of the conflict and can drain the heart-pounding atmosphere? Congratulations, you genius.
Emotional intelligence - a set of skills that help to recognize their own and others' feelings or intentions. To develop it, help your child to understand why he feels certain emotions. If he is angry, then what? Perhaps its something to hurt or he just misses and at least this way wants to attract attention to himself.
All the senses have the right to exist: a child can experience not only joy, but also anger, resentment or sadness. Only express their best not to hysteria, and conversation - a skill not just useful in adult life.
4. Aware of the financial literacy of more than you
You stuffed bumps yourself and your child a child is able to competently handle the money and quickly absorbs knowledge of how to manage your budget. It is important to develop these skills to genius remained unrealized.
To teach children the basics of financial literacy, first explain what money is and where they come from: they do not give a reason, and pay for the work. Reinforce this knowledge can be a personal example: Charging your child chores that are not in his normal duties, and award a small sum of money. What to do with earnings, the child should decide for itself: you can just pull them on sweets, or save up for the New Year to buy a cherished toy.

5. It is able to effectively manage time
These children like 48 hours a day: lack of time and to study, and sports, and for additional activities and entertainment. If this is about your child, there is every reason to believe it at least gifted.
Psychologist Nathan Leites, who studied children's endowments, foundPsychic load and gifted childrenThat children are able to different high workability. Increased propensity to work - the key to not only obscheintellektualnoy giftedness, but also success in adult life, so educate the child in this quality.
6. There is a special approach to any business
To create a cure for cancer, be a rock star or build a successful business, it is critical to bypass the common places to look for new niches and conclusions. The child solves the problems of non-standard methods? Excellent, encourage it.
In adult life, often the result is important, but not the way you came to him. So, it is possible to experiment with ways to solve different problems, as long as the result of the work fit the specified criteria. For example, you ask a child to wash the dishes. You can stand over him and nudet that he not hold a sponge or offer to act independently, as long as plates and cups are clean and intact.
7. Shows critical thinking
Belief in the idea and the willingness to go for it to the end - laudable qualities, but sometimes the best time to realize that this idea has no prospects. If a child is inclined to speculate whether he need to spend a lot of effort on this or that subject, do not make music school to finish at all costs, and torn between classes and circles.
Better learn to question and look for the causes of all that is happening around. For example, you are forced to wear a hat in the winter. What it is: your whim or a real need, because without a hat, you can easily get sick?
The approach of the series "is correct, because I say so" is unlikely to help grow a genius. Let your child shows curiosity and observation even after errors - so he will learn to think independently and will not take on faith everything that is happening around.
8. Grasp everything on the fly
And then apply the new knowledge into practice. Templates and limitations - not for him, the child simply closely within the framework of the role of an obedient executor.
To develop self-reliance, do not do it for the children, what they themselves can perfectly handle. This applies not only to homework, but also domestic affairs such as cleaning the room or washing dishes. If the child does not understand - explain, even several times, and show by example. Yes, at first a little that will turn out, but do not swear, and tell me where and what went wrong.
9. Instinctively comply with information security regulations
The older generation had to learn by doing careful with technology. Today, even children know that without permission to leave someone else's data and throw his fraught with serious problems.
However, this does not negate the need to ensure that the child is doing on the web. Keep your antivirus software, enable safe search browser and install parental control. Indulge in all serious and read the correspondence is not necessary - just agreed that if the child will be sent strange or hurtful things, he is sure to tell you about it.
10. Not afraid to take responsibility
Modern genius - not helpless desk plant with a single function, and an inspired visionary and leader. He should be able to set goals and make decisions, inspire others and coordinate the efforts of the team to achieve the plan.
That the child has learned responsibility and could realize the consequences of their actions, give him freedom. Suppose he decides where he is under force. He wants to play, not to study mathematics - please only three quarters in its still waiting for a serious conversation.
