How Do You Raise a Prodigy?

Nice to see a comment on Bloom. The Kaplan folks mentioned in their initial lecture that they found most MCAT questions fit within that schema. So, like we do in the military, I read what the enemy wrote for each each other: I pulled his Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. Most of it is very dry government-reporty sort of stuff, but the Appendix is a nice concise outline. Email me if you want a copy, or see if you can get it through interlibrary loan.

yes but you don't interlude with random personal quotes so I feel attachment to the subject enough to follow it to b5 than from b6-b9

This appears paywalled -- Is the full article available anywhere?

I'm curious about how the HN duplicate detector distinguishes cases like this. I had seen the earlier submission and was surprised that there wasn't more discussion about it.

Elsewhere in cyberspace, I have had parents of high-IQ children (as ascertained by national membership organizations) tell me that they think the submitted article is thoughtful and reasonably factually accurate. I would like to read the book on which the submitted article is based.

If you like reading about this subject and closely related subjects, it happens that I was just at my town's local Wikipedia Loves Libraries event, and in a conversation with a librarian there a bibliography about human intelligence

was viewed by the librarian and me. That's a good source for more current reading about bringing up gifted children and closely related topics.

It would have been even more profound for each daughter to have been made a prodigy in a different specialization. I suppose the availability of instructors in three separate areas would have been a barrier though.

The first few pages of TFA seem to be more about raising a prodigy than about giving birth to one. I.e., given that your child is a prodigy, what parenting techniques are useful?
