I was given this news from Yahoo, and well i was not really interested until the video started playing... There was this little boy who was shooting basketball and he sure was very good at it! :D I think this kid is really very talented and have a good future when it comes to shooting hoops! I am sure his parents are very proud and lucky to have this child's talent show already at such a young age, just look at how much potential this kid has! Now i thought, for the parents, at what age have you noticed your kid's potential? Were there any obvious talents that surfaced even early on at their age? Thank you! here is the link: http://ph.sports.yahoo.com/news/nba--little-kid-displays-incredible-shooting-touch--103236339.html (not a referral link)

My youngest child seem to be the greatest achiever among his brothers. He is great in school and he has this love for basketball as well. He is only 8 years old now. But as young as 5 years old, he has shown his skills with the sport. He is a great shooter! I just wish he would grow up as tall as my brother or sister. Both of them are really tall- my sister is 5'11 and my brother is 6'1. Don't ask my height, I am the cutest of all siblings!

Hi jenny! :D how are you doing! Thank you for sharing this with us here. I really hope he turns out to be a really athletic boy. sometimes we can really see early on right? Some through singing, others dancing and all. These has to be developed over time though and we just have to support them. :D

If you get the chance to see the picture of my kids, you;d notice that the three of them are on the heavy side. Before, I was afraid that they would just grow up being inactive coz of all these gadgets that keeps them busy at times. Good thing that they do enjoy playing basketball. My brother in law bought them the basketball ring and they get to play everyday. I do support my youngest son on this as he shows more interest than his brothers. Good thing we are friends with Milo's Best Coach in Ateneo. He is the one who will help us my kid achieve his dreams.

As early as two years old you can noticed it already. but there are children who are late developer. I have witnessed many children who have shown vast potential on their early age but just grow up naturally their talent was never developed.I think the environment of the growing up children also played a great role in building up the child potential in the future.

well, yes there are late developer. he he my mom never knew i can sing until i was in highschool when i joined glee club. :D but yeah she always thought im meek and is not talkative but i am quite different as when i was a child. Yes, that is true that the environment and the support of family does have a lot of factor in a child's development.

I got a son but he's only 4 months old, but I have a nephew of 2 years age. Everything that he holds that is of alike with microphone, he sings with it. He also used the soft-broom as a guitar. Even when he's little younger, there are visible signs that he will be a talented one in the future, I hope so..
