(17,863 posts)I use my two daughters as examples. One is an engineer and the other is a nurse. Both are very smart, but they could not do the other's occupation very well. My older daughter, the engineer, has difficulty dealing with blood and interacting with individuals. My younger daughter, who is superb in biology, has difficulty in math.
Both children had pretty much the same teachers in their formative period, and I worked with both to the best of my ability. They just gravitated to the area in which they felt most comfortable. That is why I did engineering problems with my older daughter until she went off to college (still consulted on some of the more difficult problems) and helped my younger daughter do dissections at home for homeschooling in Biology.
