I think it's a mix of both. Some kids are born with special talents or are naturally clever, but a lot depends on how they're raised and what kind of education they get. Parents and teachers can really help children develop their abilities. Even if a child is born smart, they still need to work hard and keep learning to stay ahead.

I think most children learn to become smart. They pick up things from their surroundings, school, and people around them. With good education and encouragement, any child can develop their intelligence. Hard work and curiosity are often more important than just being born smart.

Some children are just born smart. You can see it when they learn to read or solve problems much faster than others. Genetics can play a part in this. But even these kids need support and guidance to reach their full potential.
