Observe: Take time to watch your child at
play. Don't assume that your child's play is trivial or meaningless. A child
will act and play in ways that may reflect differing natural, individual
interests, intelligences and abilities.
Talk to
your child. Ask your
child about the things that seem to interest them and about apparent interests
that they like more or less and why.
Test your
child. Fill out an
online survey.
Professional
testing is available through psychological services but careful observation
will usually supply you with some satisfactory implications -- but how they are
expressed will often change as the child adopts another point of view or
interest. Look for broader indications of interests, and differences, but not
narrowed very specifically because that swings and cycles through growth
phases, stages of development and age -- at home, in school and other
environments and persons of interest to the child.
