Here is the final step of this journey aimed at discovering your child’s talents. It represents not only the culmination of previous steps but also your child’s memories.

A person’s memories are generally written by them to trace their journey accompanied by lessons and anecdotes. I could have found a more original name, but it’s a concept already named in my videos that I practice with my children. The idea is to buy a notebook for each child to collect all your observations since reading this book and more.

This notebook will now serve as a dashboard to regularly note new or recurring significant things. As I mentioned earlier, it is necessary to adapt the different exercises and advice according to your child’s age.

Some feel frustrated that they couldn’t start this work when their child was just a toddler. I reassure you because your memory will be an asset to complete this notebook and create a more comprehensive portrait of your prodigy.

Most mothers show us their abilities to bring out embarrassing childhood files. They usually wait for the moment when we are with our friends or when we are married to draw comparisons with our own children.

“When he was little, he kept…” “At his age, he did the same” “He’s just like his father”

Have you ever heard these kinds of phrases? You can rely on your memory by asking yourself, “What was he like when he was 5, 10, 15 years old…?” It can be difficult, but do it from his birth. Remember that early childhood is a period without constraints: no bills or unemployment… You can also do the exercise by using documents related to your child’s past to refresh your memory:

• Gather photos by year

• Take out photo albums if you have any

• Look for old report cards

• Find old class photos

I am certain that calling upon your memories will bring up emotions, but they will also be associated with events where your child stands out in one way or another. 5 points for writing in the notebook:

1/ Choose to note these important memories in this dedicated notebook for your child, noting if possible the year or age to establish a chronology. You are, in essence, writing your child’s story…
