The devotion of Kim Peeks' father to his son was so unconditional, selfless, and pure.

One things about all these geniuses is they have supportive parents. A great gift.

The children may be geniuses but the parents are the real heroes for always supporting them and being there for them.

I met Kim Peek twice. He remembered me the second time even though it had been a few years. He was a sweet, warm man with an amazing mind. His wonderful father’s sacrifice to be his full-time caretaker should be praised along with Kim’s memory!

The mom of the first girl has a genuinely solid reason for her way of raising her child. Let them focus and harness their amazing talent to channel it towards something important in the future

When he said "welcome to the world of genius" I already feel unwelcome

Passion is key. Nobody can be a genius in something that bores them.

I once met a woman in a homeless shelter and watched her as she pencil sketched a very detailed portrait of a young Queen Elizabeth II as she looked on the day of her Coronation. She did this intricate portrait with her EYES CLOSED. She later told me that she never puts her signature on any of her portraits because she doesn't take credit for any of them. She told me; "They come from some other place."

I don't know how someone can be humble and cocky but the piano kid has found a balance between both

I absolutely love how majority of these parents are just allowing their kids to grow their talents, at the kids request, they're not forcing them into it like you see on most gifted kids shows

I looked up Kim Peek and was devastated to learn that he died in 2009 from a heart attack and his father Fran died in 2014. Breaks my heart knowing they were trying to plan for Fran’s death and Kim’s care but instead Fran had to bury his son who he had cared for all his life 😔 RIP Fran and Kim Peek

Kim Peek passed away in 2009 and his father passed in 2014. He was such a brilliant person.

I feel so bad for that little boy at 31:23 -- he felt like he failed everybody and almost broke down crying. His standards are so high he won't accept how brilliant he is even after exhaustion and tiredness sets in. I wish I could tell him how wonderful he really was.

Loved the Mama’s response regarding her daughter’s childhood, so true. She’s learning, growing, enjoying true nature, loved on by family and developing her spirituality in her own way. It’s an absolute beautiful almost perfect childhood. She seems genuinely happy. Truly happy. Her family also seems to be very supportive, loving and humble. I’m sure they may receive some negative feedback bc theres money being made, but this is not Hollywood. She is not surrounded by filth, ill intentioned ego driven types, she is being cared for and allowed to flourish. Most of us don’t understand what is going on inside her to push her to create the art, seems as if her family has been able to cater to her unbelievable talent as well as keep her grounded in family. I really adore her story. Such a beautiful girl and her art is breathtaking. I kept going back and looking at her pieces. Exquisite. Hope she is still doing well today.

when the mom said that kids should focus their energy into field in which they are interested in. i agree 100%. people who have amazing skills like these practice them at such a young age they are a part of them into adulthood weather they know it or not.. those paintings were Beautiful btw!!

The piano kid is really great. You can tell he is musical, he understands how to express himself and he cares about phrasing, the emotion he gives trough music more than the technical stuff. It is a stark contrast to the countless "musical genius" kids who are just very technically drilled since they were 3 years old but don't have any musical understanding of what they do.

The pressure on him to perform must be unbearable, but I feel that he will be a successful artist one way or another.

Those paintings are so amazing. They look like a picture from a camera. She’s definitely one of the greatest artist I’ve ever seen.

Loved the humility of Ben Pridmore who said 'really it's only since discovering this hobby of mine that I've excelled at anything I suppose'...good for you Ben !

As a young child I was always ahead of my age group in reading and math, because we played games and made it fun. Then in the second year of school the games stopped and out came the books and pens, I then failed the rest of my school life and didn’t even finish high school. Now I’m 27 and studying what I enjoy and once again I’m ahead of class. If you enjoy something you can be great at it.
