After the turn of the millennium, there was great talk about Indigo children and the changes that we would see in children being born this century.
You would guess that these changes would be easy to identify. This amazing toddler in England is showing the signs of being a genius fairly early in his life. He may even give Einstein a run for his money!:
Most kids his age are just learning the names of their favourite cartoon characters. But 2-year-old Oscar Wrigley of Berkshire, England is devouring encyclopaedias, history books, and nature guides. When he rides in the car with his parents, he amuses himself by identifying all of the instruments in a classical music recording. Though his body may be small, his brain never rests.
Oscar’s parents knew he was different from an early age: at four months old, he could point to the outfit that he wanted to wear. He began talking at nine months old, and by a year and a half, he could recite the entire alphabet. He began reading soon after, and now knows thousands of words—and is happy to correct others when they don’t get something quite right, as in a recent incident when a neighbour spotted a bird in the Wrigley family’s garden, and asked Oscar, ““Is that a tweet-tweet?”
“No,” the toddler replied. “It’s a blue tit.”
While Oscar’s parents have long known that their son is precocious, they’ve just found out how far above the curve he is: Oscar recently took a IQ test, and got the highest possible score. He was judged to have an IQ of at least 160, putting him in the ranks of Albert Einstein and modern visionaries like Stephen Hawking. He’s been accepted as Britain’s youngest boy to join MENSA, the club for the extremely gifted.
Oscar’s parents are eager to get him enrolled in school two years early, but in the meantime, he’s content to amuse himself reading books, conducting back-seat symphonies, and, of course, correcting the neighbours—and possibly soon, his parents.
“I’m fully expecting the day to come when he turns around and tells me I’m an idiot.” Oscar’s father, Joe, told The Daily Mail.
