Emotional intelligence. Literature, whether poetry or novels, is produced through the author's emotional catharsis. Therefore, a high degree of emotional experience is the prerequisite for writing poetry. Li Bai sang up to the sky, Du Fu murmured in a low voice, Qin Guan was in the Ci world... They have experienced a lot, are rich in emotions, and have literary skills. Poets such as Han Yu and Jia Dao are not true poets. They are natural expressions of human emotions rather than writing for the purpose of writing good poems. Besides, writing poetry is difficult. Everyone can do limerick poets. Even ballads are also poems, but real poetry requires oblique rhyme and syntax requirements, which is different from ordinary poetry.
So there is no need to train your child to be a poet, maybe he wants to be a novelist. Let his nature develop and let him choose whether to write poetry or prose. None of us can curb their growth, what we want is guidance. Give your children some space. In fact, we will find that our children are all poets. It depends on how you view him, who is not a poet or even a poet.
