This really comes down to personal opinion.
I believe that the best solution is creating a supportive and stimulating environment that your child can thrive in without over-extending their abilities.

Answer: There are many precautions to consider when raising a child prodigy.

Explanation: Too often, parents take child prodigies for granted by using their children for fame and wealth. This robs the child of their childhood and the chance for them to live a normal life. We also have to think about how their gifts may affect how their peers see them. Children who stand out are treated differently, and may even be bullied because of their gift.

Personally, I would enroll them in activities with like-minded peers who have similar interests. That way, they have room to grow and develop healthy relationships.
