The ruling gift shows up in children in the zeal and enthusiasm of their personality. They are outstanding in their wide interests, excessive activity, and somewhat ‘forward’ personality. They tend to be joiners, will volunteer for most anything and run for various school offices.

Exhorter Gift for Children
Children with the gift of exhortation are prepared for a special kind of relationship with people. Their task is to bring about encouragement in life and provide positive personal progress. This means their interests are ‘person centered’ and they develop what might be called a speaking gift.
Teacher Gift for Children
Children with the motivational gift of teaching have early interests and inclinations which prepare them for their ministry. One might regard them as more ‘quiet’ than other children, even a tendency to be loners. They like people and are liked by people, but even as children they can entertain themselves alone for long periods of time.
Prophet Gift for Children
Children with the budding gift of prophecy (insight) have tendencies which might be termed intense, active, perfectionistic and absolutistic. These characteristics appear in such things at play activity, social relationships, and personal habits. This seems to provide them with an understanding of people beyond their years, such as grasping family relationships.
