An ordinary day. You're playing with your little brother or sister, and suddenly, they come up with a clever idea that it leaves you speechless. It's them being incredibly smart. Sometimes, kids surprise us with their brilliance. In ways we never expect. Today's topic is about those moments when you were truly surprised. But first let's look at some firsthand incidents.
My little cousin, Sami, is five years old. He's full of curiosity. He is always asking questions. Sometimes to the point that you may get overwhelmed. But still We have a very special bond, and he looks up to me as his big brother, Often seeking advice and sharing his stories with me all the time.
Last summer, I went to my aunts’. One day, we were playing in the back of the house. Sami had been talking about how birds fly, and he was really interested in that. Sudenly, he looked up at me with a grin and said, "Let's build a bird house!" I was surprised but also excited by his initiative. We spent the rest of the day gathering materials and working together to create a beautiful birdhouse. As we worked. I realized he was so clever to think about attractin birds to their garden.
My aunt once told me about her neighbor's son, who at just three years old, could identify different types of trees and flowers. Another friend shared his story about his niece. who started reading books at the age of four.
One summer day, while visiting a local library, I noticed a small girl sitting quietly at a table near the entrance. She was so much absorbed in her own world. I sat down next to her, and I asked if she enjoyed reading. She smiled shyly and she nodded and showed me the book she was reading—a biography of a famous scientist. She explained that she was fasinated by science and wanted to learn more about how things work. She then describe many scientific concepts, showing a level of knowledge that was impressive for someone her age.
This encounter left a lasting effect on me. It challenged my assumptions about young children. I realized surely brilliance can be found in the most unexpected places.
These stories were not distinct incidents. but behaviors that left everyone amazed at these young ones' abilities.
Hearing these stories. I realized that children are capable of incredible things. It challenged my assumptions about what it means to be young. These experiences taught me that intelligence is multidimensional. and that young minds are capable of far more than we might assume.
Reflecting on the stories shared today. we've seen firsthand the surprising ability of young minds. They've shown us that intelligence is not confined to academic achievement alone.
As an end note. I want to invite all of my readrs to a special request. Pay closer attention to the childrn in your lives—your siblings, nieces, nephews, students, or neighbors. Encourage their curiosity and support their dreams.
