MEDAN. Jadi murid lagi di usia yang tak lagi muda? Itulah yang dialami orang tua siswa SD Juara Medan pada Parenting School yang dilaksanakan Ahad (13/03). Berbekal kuesioner berupa pertanyaan bakat Multiple Intelegences dan sebuah pena, orang tua mulai menjawab pertanyaan. Bukan perkara yang mudah menjawab soal tersebut bagi orang tua yang mayoritas bukan lulusan Sarjana. Karena itu, pengisian dilakukan serempak dipandu oleh Learning Support Unit. Alhamdulillah, seluruh pertanyaan berhasil dijawab.
Usai menjawab pertanyaan, para orang tua diajak bersama-sama menganalisis jawaban tentang bakat anak-anak mereka. Kemudian membahas karakteristik sampai kepada profesi yang dapat ditekuni anak di masa mendatang. Ternyata banyak orang tua yang tidak menyadari bakat anak-anak mereka sendiri. Keinginan membawa anaknya menuju tangga kesuksesan ternyata seringkali berdasarkan cita-cita orang tua, bukan benar-benar keinginan buah hati.
“Bu, apa benar anak saya kecerdasannya ini?” Tanya seorang ibu sambil menunjukkan hasil anaknya. Bakat tertinggi ada di kecerdasan musik dan kinestetik. “Saya kok nggak sadar ya, Bu?”
Pertanyaan sang ibu dan banyak ibu lainnya merupakan pertanda baik bahwa orangtua mulai ‘melek’ bakat anak.
“Semoga saja kegiatan parenting hari ini menghadiahkan kesadaran orang tua tentang siapa sebenarnya anak-anak mereka. Kemudian secara sadar mengarahkan anak-anak untuk menerima diri mereka sendiri apa adanya, bukan berdasarkan kehendak orang tua semata,” ungkap Sahidn Gayo, kepala sekolah SD Juara Medan.***

It turned out that many parents do not realize the talent of their own children. The desire to bring their children to the ladder of success was often based on the ideals of parents and not really desires of the children.
“Mrs, is it true that my child has this intelligence?”Asked a woman while showing her child result, The highest talent are in music and kinesthetic intelligence. “I really did not realize it, Mrs?” the mothers questions, and many questions came from the mothers. It is a good sign that parents begin to see the talent of their children.
