Children of Gold (1977x2)

Data emisji: Sty 11, 1977

Some mothers do have 'em-babies who won't sleep, demand constant attention, go to school and disrupt lessons. Sometimes these children are also highly-sensitive and exceptionally bright. But if they are not allowed to develop at their own extraordinary pace they can be a problem to everyone including themselves. Plato called them ' children of gold'. Surprisingly, these days some parents and teachers readily confess that the fastest learners are often a source of heartache and unhappiness. Yet these are the children who, in theory, should be the country's greatest asset.
