About the series:
Four children with four exceptional gifts - a computer genius, a violin virtuoso, a star gymnast and a dazzling chess player. What is it like to be one in 100,000 or even one in a million?
From friendships gained and families uprooted, it’s a fragile balance between pursuing their potential and not losing their childhood innocence. What hidden sacrifices do these wonder kids and the people around them make to fulfil their grand ambitions ? We go behind the glamour of awards and achievements and find out what it truly means to be a child prodigy.

Lucky for this kid to have very supportive parents.
Dad : you need to take a break and start learning how to program
Me : no
half a year later (or so)...
Me : doing a Google CTF challenge
Dad : You need to take a break from your computer, get outside and play with your friends
Me : what the fuck?
it really happened to me
Yeah there was another kid on here who’s mom didn’t want him to do tech
Actually warmed my heart so much that 1. They were so supportive and 2. That schools like that even exist. I can't imagine how different my life would be if I had an education like that
Supportive and Knowledgeable!
I started doing robotics from scratch when I was 6. But my family didn't have enough money to buy an arduino, or another board, so I could only advance in the area when I was in 8th grade. I do not blame them, they supported me the way they could, when I was 8 the give me a Soldering Iron.
I appreciate that his parent’s understood that he had the potential of coding and making games,I’ve seen many kids willing to make games,code,do 3D modelling but their parents didn’t gave them the right tools.
Also would like to see a update when he turns 18
reminding me back when I was 9 I really love coding with vb6, c++, and assembly. but unfortunately as much as i love coding, my mom hated me doing stuff on computer because she always thought i was just playing games all day so she never supported me. so here i am now, a 22 yo man who's struggling to answer an easy question in leetcode

He's the kid everyone calls Nerd in school but he comes out to be the most successful
Unfortunately there is little correlation between GPA and grades attributing to success in later stages of life. The most successful people are those who can leverage their network, communicate, manage a team, and are resilient in social situations with aspects of technical skills. But the kid does seem smart so if he pairs it with excellent social skills he will definitely go far
@@fahimzahir2085 he doesn't care about his Grades that's what makes him different

I used to be like this too, remember to keep the child motivated, and not over praise.

I feel your struggle. My parents took me to take an IQ test at the age of 4 and I scored 137. They didn't do what Seth's parents did for him though. I remained as a "distraction" to the other kids and eventually became too bored to put in any work. It sucks. A lot.

Amazing, here I am at 22 being motivated by a kid who's living his best life. Kudos to the parents for catering to his needs
Same, the fact that the parents are so understanding and do active things for the child makes me even feel a little envy :(
@@ramisklk this is so bittersweet.
On one hand, it's beautiful to see parents nurture their kids' creativity and curiosity in such a positive and constructive way, makes me think this is how parenting should be done.
On the other hand, how many people are doomed to miss their growth potential because their parents don't have the time and resources like these ones do? I love my parents and appreciate how hard they work, but we were robbed of so much time together in order to pay bills and keep a roof that they're practically strangers.
I was raised by screens, disconnected from my family's culture, feel out of place with my own family, and the more I think about this whole situation literally billions of other people are in, the more disturbing this whole system is.
@@geobot9k It is very natural it is like that. Everyone is taught go to school at 5, but not to learn before then, then go to uni and then get a job. Then get married. In life we all pushed to do things in a conventional way. How to love someone how to speak how to sing how to walk how to dance. So I don't feel bad about it.
I read about prodigies growth and experience. basically learning can start at day 1 for a baby or even in the womb of the mother. So such parents are unconventional and different. Therefore will get results that are different. It is a road which has its own dangers. Growing up very intelligent or at least very educated changes you as a person you will need other support measures in place and your own parents may not even be capable or have the natural fortitude for it. Look at South Korea and their society and their low birth rate. This type of living where extreme emphasis on education isn;t for everyone.
Also top Ivy league university take extracurricular activities into account because they understood learning outside of school is very valid.
In the West, this kid will be bullied, kicked and then praised by everyone when he fails the exam and becomes traumatic. West is fcked up

I thought the comments were going to be like "omg this kid is so good boi, he will be a great man when he grows up". But the comments are more like "this kid is not smart at all, i can do all that stuff and more. And he isnt even good at the program language oh my god". I guess im the only one who didnt know programming languages when i was four
Well now it’s pretty common. I used to work at a summer camp teaching 5-10 year olds Java with arduinos. Some of the kids progressed extremely fast and got to the point were they had began self teaching other languages like python from watching tutorials on TH-cam.

He's a smart kid, but:
I mean 2 years in Kerbal Space Program and I'd be very surprised if he hadn't managed to build stuff in it, though the first flying rocket mention is a bit weird because the game has a tutorial where you build your first rocket and launch it. It's a lot less impressive to say 'followed instructions in a tutorial' though. It's not a good example of physics other than the rocket equation either.
From the code we've seen, he's at the level of people just starting to learn how to program. We see RGB LEDs changing colour on an arduino and a 'Worm Race' with no arrays to track the worms, which is indicative of someone who has only just started and isn't yet able to form solutions that combine data structures and loops. With the assistance from his father, it's hard to tell if he can actually succeed as a programmer, because the ability to write his own algorithms is not demonstrated.
A kid of his age playing minecraft? Of course, it's older than he is, of course he can pick up some redstone knowledge, a lot of kids are being given that game as early as age 4 or 5.
Quantum Computing is -right- out the window for an 8 year old. If you don't believe me go check out the Quantum Computing Stack Exchange site and realise that there is no way anyone lacking both degree level physics and computer science knowledge could possibly tackle any of it. I've thought the idea of Quantum computers were cool since I was his age, but there's no way that an 8 year old could understand how one really works.
An IQ of 134 just about scrapes him into Mensa, that's a 1 in 50 IQ. That means that for an american highschool of 800 students there will be 16 students on the level of this child. The difference is that they don't get videos made about them just for being the top of their class. However, in 15 years time, and you can go back on TH-cam and look at older child prodigies and where they ended up, they will be in very similar or the same positions as other kids simply deemed "smart" at their school.
The myth of the child prodigy needs to end, high intelligence is not a 1 in a million thing, it's something that you can find hundreds or even thousands of in any given city. For anyone who is feeling put down by the achievements of this kid, from what is shown in the video you could be beyond that level in less than a week with the determination, as it is a beginner level.
V 0 1 D i can assure you there is not that many kids at his intelligence level in your average american school esp. for his age. maybe im wrong but it sounds like you wrote all this to make yourself feel better about yourself..the kid is clearly a prodigy.
V 0 1 D is right, it doesnt look like he wants to make himself feel better and since when is it not allowed to give feedback
Are you joking? IQ scores are statistics based, just do the maths on the amount of high IQ individuals.
These are beginner projects, the code examples are literally tutorials, that's not prodigious.
Here are examples of historical prodigies that the media compares these poor kids to:
-Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart created his first musical compositions at age 4, performed in concerts at age 6 and completed his first symphony at age 8.
-Carl Friedrich Gauss corrected his father's mathematical errors at the age of 3, solved arithmetic series problems at age 7 faster than any of his peers and solved complex mathematical problems while still a teenager.
-Blaise Pascal wrote a treatise on vibrating bodies at the age of 9.
-A real Computer Science prodigy, John von Neumann could divide two 8 digit numbers in his head at age 6, could talk Ancient Greek and thought that other people when staring into space must have been performing complex calculations like he did.
There are less than 50-100 such people per century that appear in history. Kids like the one in the video are being pushed by the media and often their parents, but it turns up shallow, the kid has no idea how a quantum computer works, he's building an arduino project to change the color of an RGB LED, as kids do, as an introduction to coding.
Honestly I am young to and am way better than this kid. I am getting a programming internship soon to so...
I'm literally in Arizona and i have an iq of 170 and theirs about 15 other kids that near me. Trust me 6th grade and below has a lot more smart asses.

Code is hard
@William Van Dusen everyone praises IT industry in eastern europe is high paid lol, i wonder if its hard or easy to get there
@William Van Dusen what do you mean garbage at code? They do 3-4 years lol in college sure they must be really skilled, people tell me in 5-6 months you can be a good coder and junior developer and people spend 4 years in university and still not enough? Or people just spread bullshit that its easy and fast to get in IT industry or programming?
mattR Mega what the hell 😂😂😂 Computer science has no language, and if it did, sure as hell wouldn’t be python lol. CS is the study of algorithms, that involves OOP, low level, scripting languages and more. Web dev you got right. Data science uses python and R, amongst other languages that make it convenient. But like CS it doesn’t have a language, just ones that make data visualization and management easier. And game dev is mostly c/c++ and c#, Java can but does it poorly because of jvm needing to translate first. Python has pygame and objective c for iOS

I hope you nourish your child and help him grow
I feel bad for his younger brother.....will be difficult to outshine him
me in a nutshell
Well the first child always tends to be the best one. So his younger brother probably wont be as good as him in most stuff,
He could go for the athletic route
hes going to be the next kanye

Man this kid got lucky, when I was little my parents tried to get me on all sorts of things to learn but it never clicked for me. He does have a very bright future ahead of him!

This little kid is lucky his dad is a software engineer. Or else he would of started at age 22 lol
Your father don't have be a software engineer
@@9bitmax533 he's probably just saying the father has enough knowledment to know what to teach teach him and send him on the right direction. An ordinary person would be lost and not know what to do with the kid --or would just think he's strange and that he should adjust himself to the others, ignoring his potential.
Well, parent support and good environtment is also part of why he became a prodigy
U didnt watch the whole video.. He had 134 iq at the age of 4. Even if he didnt have a father like his he would still be more successful than you. Im glad he walked on the sotfware engineering path. If he continues to learn he might have a huge impact on the computer world. Stop being jealous. You better support him instead.
@@FuntimeAG nolo said his son, not him.
It’s sad. My brother is a prodigy but I’m not. I try so hard to get good marks. He doesn’t try and still gets it.
It's OK, just try your best! Everyone is born differently, but if you try hard enough I bet you could also get good marks :)
That was me too! My brother wouldn’t even study and could get an A on a test. But he has an amazing memory. I had to work 10xs harder but got better grades because I did my homework. 😜
Don't be bitter about something that none of you decided upon (IQ).
Instead of being sad, know your own capacities (and do not expect to learn something the same way your brother does, it's useless and dangerous for you) and have DISCIPLINE.
Without discipline, not even your brother can go further because there will be a time when standing and playing around won't allow him to get the marks he'll need to get into a good university or even allow him to have a good job/start a business.
Even geniuses who built their companies were very disciplined and spend LOT OF TIME to get success.
@@MarokoJin It doesn't have to be iq who knows maybe more attention is paid to in class. Maybe it's the mindset you can't improve that makes you put a type of handicap on your mind from excelling.
