Psychics; Are They Born That Way?

Are we born with psychic skills? A lot of psychics recount that they first became aware of their psychic gifts when they were very young. They had their first psychic experiences at ages such as 2 or 3 years old. So, does that mean that they were born psychic? And, if so, does it mean that psychic awareness can only be built upon later on, but cannot actually be first discovered much later in life?
