“…Lyn Kendall, a consultant on gifted children at Mensa—who was herself a gifted child in a working-class family—insists that reading Nietzsche to your five-year-old, or forcing them to do three hours of extra homework, cannot ‘make’ a genius.”

A recent study on raising bilingual babies suggested that infants are highly social learners—that is, they learn by being connected to people and feeling safe. This led to the finding that social interaction is at the core of how human brains develop. qz.com/1663273/

The challenge in a hyper-connected, fast-moving, tech-addled world is that infants need precisely the inverse of what many parents do all day.
