"Every child has one talent or the other that the parents must identify through the child's display of interest or natural flair in an activity and encourage them to excel in, " says renowned talent scout Benedict Yartey.
Mr. Yartey further admonishes parents not to overemphasise grammar education to kill the child's talent but create the motivating environment for them to develop it.
The parents can enrol the child in a talent school or encourage them to be active in extracurricular activities in school, citing his case as a talented child footballer who was discouraged by his parents to quit his first promising love.
The resident judge of TV3 Talented Kidz reality show bemoaned the situation where in our part of the world we do not have much disposable income to invest in the child's talent development.
On the internationally acclaimed 11-year old DJ Switch who emerged the winner in the 2017 edition of Talented Kidz, Mr. Yartey advised her management to ensure that as a minor she balances her academic and deejaying lives.
Also, they should always remind her as a child and guide her speech.
Finally, they should give her more exposure to enhance her confidence and high self-esteem.
Multi talented academic, Benedict Yartey, spoke on Obuasi-based Shaft 98.1 News@6pm co-hosted by Aboagye Dacosta on Friday, February 08, when coincidentally, a child commentator from Obuasi was auditioned in Kumasi for the 10th anniversary edition of the show.
