    Some people are smart because they were born with a talent for learning. If society wouldn't crush children's creativity and curiosity, maybe this would happen more often.

    This is a message to everyone here, if you have children or are planning of having children, PAY ATTENTION TO THEM NO MATTER WHAT, if they say school is boring then take it seriously, if they request to learn something different, start them off with something simple yet interesting.

    Usually when you see this kid geniuses they seem to be incredibly awkward and have serious social problems, but Tanishq obviously seems to be able to act just like a normal kid. It's a great testament to his parents, allowing him to still have fun and make friends.

    Hats off to his intelligent, caring, and supportive family. In order to constantly challenge a person with such talent like Tanishq, they've must have been very active with his interests. I wish all parents all over the world would be able to do this with their children as well. He seems to have a very well rounded life; good for him! Best of luck Tanishq!

    I love how he said "its never boring talking to college students." How sweet and innocent. The college intellectual ambiance is relaxing, stimulating, & nurturing for both the body, mind, and soul. It expands & relax our minds. Whether you are 9 or 90 years old - learning is beautiful, calming, & inspirational.

    I admire his enthusiasm and raw passion for everything that interests him. He doesn't come off as smug/condescending at all, which is hard for someone who has superior intellect at such a young age. I can't help but think that he must feel so lonely bc he has a disconnect with his peers his age and also his classmates in college classroom Tanisq, I can't wait to see what you can do in the years to come! You are beyond adorable :)

    What a brilliant mind and not only does he have the potential, his parents helped him accelerate his mind at such a young age. There are young minds that have so much potential, but the parents sometimes don't contribute or cannot contribute to the children's potential.

    I really think if i was kept away from Girls, TV, Soda, Candy and didn't have worry about family problems and being bullied at a young age, i would perform way better not on his level but not that far apart... wish him the best !!!

    This kid is a gem not only is he smart, but most importantly he is a humble person with good intentions to help out man kind in the future.

  • @ChuckleKing
    @ChuckleKing 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    The parents are doing an amazing job keeping his momentum going and exposing him to a wide variety of subjects; also for giving him an way to socialize with kids his age which I feel is just as important. Seeing that his sister is always showing potential, I'd say we're gonna be hearing a lot from the Abraham Family in the decades to come.

  • @Nagybomb

    Tanishq has two gifts in life:
    1) His God-given desire to learn at an accelerated level (and therefore his ability to do so at an early age)
    2) His supportive parents...it's clear he would never have these opportunities if it wasn't for their encouragement and dedication to him and his sister.
    Remarkable. Much kudos to everyone involved in enriching this kid's life.

  • @Jarneandmusic
    @Jarneandmusic 12 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    The kid is just lucky that he receives all this opportunities.Most kids his age don't get home-schooled, don't even get raised the same way. His parents can afford college.
    The kid is missing out on his childhood. He even misses having friends! I'm sure more kids could be as smart as he is with the right parental supervision. You can notice that he is a child just by what he suggests sometimes. But the parents push him (notice the T-shirt he's wearing in the end and the quote, idea of parents?).

    My mother was told by a psychologist that I would never be able to get married if she allowed me to be put into a higher grade as my school had suggested. I was kept at grade/age level all my school years. i learned nothing in my classes, was not able to communicate with people my own age, but I didn't stop learning. I am incredibly educated but have no certification for it. I am happy that i didn't allow myself to stagnate. I did marry and have children. Now I am writing books.So happy for him

    Tanishq is not only a brilliant child he is also extremely handsome ;O) He and his sister are gifts to humanity and this makes me smile :O) Please spotlight lovely Tiara as well! She deserves as much praise as her brother (you go girl!) Bravo to the parents. You have quite a challenge keeping these beautiful minds stimulated.

  • @wwjd526
    @wwjd526 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    The young man is intellectually gifted no denying that at all. It is worth mentioning that most if not all of us can grasp certain concepts that at first glance seem difficult (like cosmology), the only difference is that for "normal" people like us, we would have sit down a little longer to understand it, but its doable. Anything is possible.

I feel like with someone this brilliant and such a positive person with such amazing parents that aren't so mean to him to drive him to being pressured into something he doesn't want to be I feel like the world would benefit with such a great youth. I really hope to see him in books alongside the greats. A new Tesla for our age! Maybe I'm way off since I'm not intellectually gifted as he to put in perspective where he stands but I love the kid!

It's been a problem for a long time, and I've felt a growing desire to be a part of the reform that will introduce the necessary changes. Seriously, save this comment of yours and use it to bring awareness to those who have the power to change the education system where you live. With your permission, I would like to use it as well to accomplish the same.
