My interview with Jonathan Harris of 10k to Talent completely changed the way I view talent education. I had the stereotypical view that I needed to start training my child by age 3 and then make sure that they devoted hours a day to practicing to develop a talent. Fortunately, that isn’t what talent education is, because I haven’t done that!
In this podcast, you’ll learn:
- A whole new way of thinking about talent
- Why you shouldn’t worry that your child’s talent is video games
- What to consider if your child has a musical talent
- How to keep your child’s talent from dying in high school
- How to structure your homeschooling around your child’s talent (hint: maybe he’s done enough history and literature!)
I highly recommend Jonathan’s ebook, How to Discover and Develop Your Child’s First 100 Hours of Talent. I’d love for you to read about how I’ve been using it to discover my 14-year-old’s talent. I also share my enthusiasm for his Blog to Your Talent ecourse.

I enjoyed this interview! I just ordered his newest course to work through with 2 of my children who are 15 and 13.
Trudy, I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I think you’ll find the course really helpful. I sure did! Thanks for taking the time to let me know you listened.
It’s interesting to learn about talents. One thing I am excited to learn about is how to help my kids keep their talents through high school. As a child, I loved music and sports, but in high school, I just stopped doing all that. I hope to help my kids avoid that mistake!
The good thing is we can return to things we loved later in life. I did that with piano.
