Tanishq, who started taking college courses at seven and is home schooled, says he misses not having friends. His Indian parents say they are not pushing him beyond his age. Tanishq plays piano, enjoys art and sings in a choir. His mother Taji says that while public schools have programs for kids with disabilities they have none for kids who are advanced.

Instead of grooming him as a prodigy, with little apparent contact with kids his age, should Tanishq's parents let him grow up as a normal but gifted kid, studying at a challenging private school, and using his brain power later as an adult in whatever area that interests him? Any statistics on  percentage of child prodigies who make effective use of their potential later in adult life? Yes, how many turn out to be Mozarts?
