child prodigies attending college
by jayaram putisari on Nov 01, 2012 07:47 PM

I think children grow at different rates at different times in their life. Nevertheless, it is not advisable to overload kids at too early an age with organised studies.

The parents of this young genius named him after a jewellery brand owned by Ta Ta?

It is good that he is living up to his name!

CHILD LABOUR IN A DIFFERENT FORMAT!
by Kabeer on Nov 01, 2012 03:43 PM  | Hide replies

These parents need counselling.

It is a form of Child Labour but in a different format.

A child is entitled for childhood and all those that normally come with childhood.

Now look at this boy of 9 years.

He is and is being forced by exciting him that he is a great guy, to spend almost all his time with adults twice his age. A nine year old boy is forced to move with 19-20 year old boys and girls. Academics is just a part of life.

All these child prodigies rarely achieve anything. They only learn a little faster than their peers but when all of them reach 30 years these prodigies dont invent or discover those things which would be discovered or invented after a century.

These children are robbed of childhood. They are born and become adults straight away.

They are denied the joy of journey of time. They reach the destination early and wait there for others to reach and that is the price and punishment they pay for learning all too early. They dont go beyond in 99 out of 100 cases.

This is child labour in a different format!

These parents need counselling.

Let the boy move around with his peers of his age and play and have proper childhood.

When he and his current peers of 19=20 years old finish their graduation and go for work do they allow him to be their peer in all social activities like get togethers etc? No! He can't go back to his younger peers as well as he has lost contact with them. He is lonely in an ivory tower reserved for prodigy.

Pity!

Well said, K a Beer.

Non resident Indians are completely crazy when it comes to raising their children in foreign countries.

They cannot assimilate into the local culture and give their poor kids a hard time when they do.

No wonder these kids grow up with social identity complexes and disorders.

google mensa and how one is qualified to get into mensa. Parents pushing has nothing to do with one getting into mensa or scoring big on IQ. one is born with an IQ level not trained for it.
