Child Prodigy
Definition
A child prodigy is a person who shows exceptional abilities in a specific field with little effort. His or her abilities should be comparable to those of a highly skilled adult.
Limitations
It is understood that a child is considered a prodigy at or before the age of 13. A child's talent is calculated as being relative to his or her age.
Controversies
Nature and Nurture
Researchers have often argued that environment (or nurture) plays the most important part in a child's development. Other researchers argue that child prodigies are the products of their own mind (or nature).
Fame and Normal Life
Some researchers claim that a child that gets a lot of attention does not grow up to be a normal adult. It has been argued that child prodigies do not have a normal adulthood because of the fame they achieve at a young age.
