YOU & YOUR
CHILD
Acquired or Natural Talent?
By Eileen Adams
Q: I was told, or I read somewhere
(I forget), that a child who shows no
special talents or skills during in
fancy and early “toddlerhood” will
have no special talents. I wonder if
this is true, since at a very early age
my son exhibited a natural penchant
for music, playing for hours on our
piano with no training. Today, with
lessons, he has become an accom
plished pianist.
Would he have become so if not for
his early years tinkering with our
Steinway? — Rose Y., Scarsdale,
N.Y.
A: Maybe yes, maybe no.
From what you said, it sounds like
you caught a glimpse of your young
ster fiddling with the keys on the
family piano and thought perhaps he
had an interest in it. As such, you got
him some fine tutelage and he is now
progressing nicely in his study of
music.
If he had not fiddled with those
keys, do you think you would have
enrolled him in piano lessons? While
I do not know the answer for you,
many parents might say no.
On the other hand, let’s sai
child at age 6 or 7 starts bangf
keys on the piano in his school
And let’s further say that yoir
teacher calls you up and tells y*
your son is quite the astute stuijJ
music. Would you have enrolld
in piano lessons at that point? ((
yes, maybe no.
You see, oftentimes specialr
and talents don’t come out uti’

get on hockey skates until he 0/
on a school field trip to thc^
hockey rink, at which time he
tears up the ice! Accordinglf
natural skill or ability won’t
shine until given the opportune
Of course, you must remembj
all children are very special ani
unique, all growing and devel
at their own pace. The best thin),
parent to do in an effort to un
natural talents is to be patient
their children while exposing tli
the many opportunities and acti
which are available to them.
KEEPING FIT
Bve^body pigs out once in a while.
Bmitjme^ieople have totally lost
control of theiL'SatmgJia^s. They
either starve themselveCarT^atiog.,^
disorder called anorexia; or go through
secretive cycles of binging on food,
then purging, called bulimia.
Bulimics usually use self-induced
vomiting, laxatives, diuretics or fast
ing as the purge part of the cycle.
But some use excessive exercise.
“Exercise bulimics choose exer
cise as their form of purging to con
trol body weight and shape,” accord
ing to a recent issue of Drug Topics
magazine.
‘ ‘Exercise for these people undoes
the physical and emotional effect of
an eating binge. Through exercise the
bulimic counteracts calories and guilt,
and so regains control of the body.”
Eating disorders aren’t completely
understood. But here are some facts
on bulimics and exercise bulimics. If
you identify with the signs, or know
someone who might have a problem,
seek medical treatment at a major
hospital with a specific program for
eating disorders.
' Nearly 5 percent of colleg
women are bulimics and mon
90 percent of bulimics are fera
People with eating disorde
often perfectionists, competim
highly educated.
* TTiey often have unresolvec
and avoid dealing with their own
ality.
* They have a distorted bod
age.
* Exercise bulimics schedule
life around exercise.
* They exercise even when tl
sick or injured.
* They adjust their workout tc
pensate for how much they
binged and will determine how
they eat by how much time thej
to exercise.
* Risk factors for bulimia in
excessive dieting; a personal 01
ily history of depression; alcoh
or drug abuse; relationship dif
ties; low self-esteem; a histo
being overweight.
