    My older brother was a child prodigy. At the age of 13 he was teaching his math class after his teacher challenged him to. My brother was misbehaving in class because he was bored, he wasn't being challenged by the curriculum of his math class.
    My brother ended up becoming a computer scientist and programmer.

      Just wondering how growing up with a gifted brother impacted you. Did you feel sense of jealousy or favoritism from your parents towards him?

      I was a teacher for many years & some of my colleagues used to say, "Oh, if only I taught gifted students." I used to laugh at that bc they had no idea how brilliant they needed to be to amuse and actually teach bored, gifted students. How wonderful about your brother. I'll bet you're gifted too. 😊

    Suborno: I love this kid. At the end of the video, he says he does not want to be one of those superstars who "vanish", then people ask "what happened to Suborno?".
    He's got a great sense of humor. These prodigies are amazing. It's hard to fathom how or why they exist at such a high level of intelligence, but I enjoy seeing videos like this.

    My daughter was very similar in her drive and love of drawing. She has also created characters, which she has cultivated and created books of stories. Today, she is 20 and attending art school at the University of Hartford. She is blooming there, but we are curious to see what will come next.

    The challenging thing for Suborno will be to stay humble and not become arrogant. That's probably a hard thing for him to do.

    Curiously, there don't seem to be any comparable prodigies in literature -- no 12 year olds being published in The New Yorker or The Atlantic, or writing Man Booker- or Pulitzer Prize-worthy novels, collections of short stories or poems, or Tony-winning stage plays.

    Sure he might be a child prodigy, and its good and all that he advanced very quickly. But him skipping grades, and missing out people in those grades, and basically not taking it one step at a time for enjoying life will forever be regretted by him. Growing up normally is usually where the fun is and you develop more socially and its good for brain development rather than just being an academic all the way

    So so many people don't understand abstract art and say silly things like, "I could do that." No, no, you couldn't.
    There are so many abstract artists who are purposeful and driven. Look at Basquiat, Rothko, Krasner, etc, and the Expressionists, who seemed to have started so much of this. Then, the object as "art." So much of art is the concept behind it. This was such a wonderful piece! Bravo CBS Sunday Morning! Bravo!

    Glitter, glue, and rainbows. All we need is concentration and focus over a few days and everyone is convinced of rare genius? The real question: why would these parents go out of their way to label their kid as a prodigy? Was the expert paid for this title? How many other kids would be given the same "diagnosis"?

    While very intriguing & inspiring, the gender bias of this piece and historical examples were disheartening. One female chess prodigy, but all of these boys/men? Seriously? As no where close to a prodigy, but as a Valedictorian who skipped undergrad requirements, rewriting that college's academic program to earn my DVM, I was also my PhD advisor's shortest graduate student. CBS with Jane Pauley at CBS Sunday Morning, Norah O'Donnell, at CBS Evening News, and Susan Spencer working on this piece, how is the gender bias not only apparent, but appalling?
