Fluch oder Segen?

Life with a child is a challenge. Life with a gifted child is a demanding challenge. Life with a highly gifted child is a true test! When Bastian was born in July 2000, his parents looked forward to an exciting time. They had prepared for many things. However, from the very beginning, life with Bastian brought many surprises. At two years old, he was reading his first letters; at four, he was eager to learn Chinese; by seven, he was academically at the beginning of the fifth grade (Swiss school system); at ten, he spoke eight languages; and by his thirteenth year, he was on track to complete the British A-levels. This required his parents to constantly find unconventional solutions, such as a stay in Singapore, flexibility in changing schools, and determination in dealing with authorities and teachers.
