It's always kind of funny when a parent thinks that their kid is a genius. I don't really think there's any real harm done in thinking your kid is going to Harvard because they rolled over a month before babies typically do so. It's something that most parents grow out of by the time their kid is no longer going to the bathroom in their pants, but not all of them can move on from this superiority complex. This mindset in parents goes from funny to sad when they continue to believe in their kid's intellect despite them being extremely behind other kids their age. That's a level of delusion that only harms the kid.
One aunt recently went viral on r/Teachers after sharing her concerns about her nephew's schooling. Up to this point, he has not received any formal education. 7-year-old olds should at least be able to count to 10 and know their colors. He hasn't even been homeschooled, and his aunt isn't sure if he's literate. Despite this, his mother is convinced that he's a genius who will be better than all of the other kids in his first-grade class. Did I mention he isn't potty trained yet?
