I don\u2019t know what the child in question looks like, how old they are, what they enjoy or where they are from, but there is one important thing I do know: your child is talented. This is something I hope you will always remember.<\/p><p>In the ancient world, a \u2018talent\u2019 was a unit of weight used for measuring amounts of gold and silver, and sometimes other precious metals. In Homer&#8217;s poems though, it always refers to gold. Such gold exists within your child too; he or she is born with it, and it\u2019s your belief in your child\u2019s talent that will make it grow. You are the one with the power to nurture it and help it develop.<\/p><p>Talent comes in all shapes and sizes and it\u2019s not always visible at first glance. Like the girl narrator in my book, your child may not be aware of their talent \u2013 they may even deny being talented \u2013 but if you constantly believe in them, the talent will continue to grow as the child develops and it will, sooner or later, reveal itself. It\u2019s also important to remember that talent isn\u2019t necessarily one dimensional \u2013 my narrator is a girl with a myriad of talents, but the different aspects of her own innate gold aren\u2019t always obvious to her (not that this matters necessarily).\u00a0<\/p><p>Thank you for choosing The Big Prince and I would love to receive your honest feedback on the story.<\/p><p>My warm regards,<br \/>Yordanka<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c46cac7\" data-id=\"c46cac7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff9c730 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ff9c730\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.12.0 - 29-03-2023 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1810\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/thebigprince.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-662\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebigprince.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3-scaled.jpg 1810w, https:\/\/thebigprince.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/thebigprince.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/thebigprince.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thebigprince.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3-1086x1536.jpg 1086w, https:\/\/thebigprince.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3-1448x2048.jpg 1448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1810px) 100vw, 1810px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5176d60 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5176d60\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-be897cd\" data-id=\"be897cd\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-071afee elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"071afee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-medium\">\"I looked at the picture of his planet, which the Big Prince had drawn for me.
