PRODIGY!

Could you speak another language at the age of eight? At this age, Wendy Vo could speak eleven languages fluently. She couldn't brush her teeth by herself, though! Another child genius, S. Chandra Sekhar, could program a computer at seven. At ten he took exams at the company Microsoft and two years later, he went to university.

Prodigies are children with incredible talents. They can do things that many adults can't do. Some scientists think prodigies are born with their talents. However, their parents usually help them. Sometimes children and parents have got the same interests. For example, Mozart's father was a composer and Picasso's father was a painter.

Some parents of prodigies are very ambitious or strict. Ainan Cawley is a chemistry prodigy. At seven, his parents wanted him to start university! When János Starker, a famous cello player, was young, his mother taught their parrot to say 'Practise, János, practise!'.

Clearly, life is sometimes difficult for prodigies. How do you make friends at university when you're twelve? And it's difficult to take a break when a parrot is shouting at you!

Psychologists believe that parents of prodigies need to help their children but not push them too hard. Two-year-old Elise Tan-Roberts' mum is a good example. Elise broke a record when she scored 156 in an IQ exam. Albert Einstein's score was only 160! Elise's mother made an important decision about her daughter. She said, 'Her IQ is really high, but if it goes down we won't be upset.'
