Child Genius

Episode 2 (2006x2)

Data di messa in onda: Apr 23, 2008

In the second episode of this two-part series, viewers catch up with the programme's now 13-year-old prodigies. Aimee practices piano seven days a week and her star is rising, including a win at a prestigious competition. But the pressures of high-flying mixed with teenage hormones tests her relationship with her parents. Michael is writing his fourth novel and is now home-schooled so he can pursue his academic interests in Ancient Greek, particle physics and even Anglo-Saxon. But how will he negotiate the transition from child prodigy to becoming a man? Dante and his parents have tried a string of therapists in search for answers as to why his gift is so troublesome for the family. Dante has a strong interest in neuroscience so undergoes an MRI scan to try and explain why his intelligence makes him - and his family - unhappy. And in an interesting twist, Dante and Michael have become friends: but what happens when two teenage geniuses get together? Will Dante get himself into trouble for taking a replica pistol into school after his trip to Paris?
