Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child's upbringing can give it the ability to dooutstandingly well. Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is simply something aperson is born with. Others, however, argue that the potential for great achievement can be developed. The truthlies somewhere between these two extremes. It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a child'sability to do well. However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing and opportunities.As one psychologist says, "To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel." Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins that wereseparated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents. They found that achievement was based onintelligence, and later influenced by the child's environment. One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted. One of the twins received a normal upbringing, andperformed well. The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given everypossible opportunity to develop its abilities. That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligenceas the other, performed even better. This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable the environment, themore a child's intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is no link between intelligence and thesocioeconomic level of a child's family. In other words, it does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, asthis does not affect intelligence. Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them. One professor ofmusic said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary performers, oftenbecause their parents had recognized their ability. These musicians then needed at least ten years' hard work andtraining in order to reach the level they were capable of attaining.People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice: * Marry an intelligent person. * Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents. * Start a child's education early but avoid pushing the child too hard. Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a child whowants to become an outstanding musician.
