A talented child will have a schedule that is horrendous. You get up and practice, go to school, practice some more, eat dinner, and then you have homework.

Kids need time for problem solving, critical thinking, applying knowledge through project-based instruction, working in teams, falling down and getting right back up to figure out what they didn't understand and why.

Giving children a fair chance to achieve their dreams and reach their potential is everyone's responsibility.

Many think kids have lots of time and few responsibilities. And that's just not true. They are stressed and under pressure.

Teach success before teaching responsibility. Teach them to believe in themselves. Teach them to think, 'I'm not stupid'. No child wants to fail. Everyone wants to succeed.

All children start their school careers with sparkling imaginations, fertile minds, and a willingness to take risks with what they think.

A strenuous effort must be made to train young people to think for themselves and take independent charge of their lives.

How one handles success or failure is determined by their early childhood.

When kids are young, before the age of ten, there is a critical window of opportunity when their habits and motivations can be influenced.
