How to raise a gifted child in a normal home

What we learned about raising gifted children from the parents of "Boy Wonder" Jack Andraka

Love it! You can see his happiness, that tells us something good was done at home.

I think it's because he is a boy and a genius. The mom will not get jealous and can support.

His parents deserve a commendation. They are raising this exceptional boy as a normal child which he is in so many ways. I see a very happy teenager. Nothing about bullying or favouritism.And their decision not to send him to university as a young teen is the right one.

Why ask to the old man, the kid is right there.

Smart parents great kid.Would like to know ho are the parents their education, profession etc.

Yeah, if they do go to college, they'll need guardians with them. Making friends with older children, way older, and adults is bad. They are still children. If you have someone this gifted, tutors are a better option than school, especially our schools. Some of the elite schools are good for achievements and offer scholarships, but there are serious social issues there. Meanwhile, I got to be CrazyCretin. I am deserving of nothing, let me praise my masters, the many. I can do self-paced classes one at a time.

Nice feel good story however he did not submit this "paper" for peer review scrutiny, also the false hope to cancer patients. Honestly something does not sit right the kid seems more like a self promoter than a scientist. His claims are highly exaggerated and not yet proven.
