Can you start talent development at a much younger age than age twelve?
In a conversation with my wife I talk about how my experiment in talent development with my nine years old son is coming along. It can be done, but you have to way the cost in time of starting that early versus waiting for a more natural age of twelve. This is part of the 10,000 hours journey with developing a different talent in each of my children and my documentation of what works and doesn't work.
Your call to action: see if you can identify in any of your children who are younger than age twelve one ability and one family advantage that you could start putting together to begin developing a talent.
