Rose did incredibly well in peimary school eatning top marks {nal her subjects and in her spare time; she became 4 piano virtuoso. However, when Rosie entered her early ‘teens, her marks in schoo! dropped significantly and she no Tonger showed any interest in playing the piano. Infact, she cxsentially withdrew from the worl, ignoring the TV, the ‘computer, books, and her family. She seemed sad and lonely. Because of this change in behaviour, Rosie’ parents ‘worried she was ill or had lost her intelligence. They took her toa psychologist, who concluded Rosie was lke the twenty ‘other prodigies he had seen in his career. Rosie felt that she ‘was under tremendous pressure and stress to be perfect. The psychologist reported tha this type of change in behaviour ‘was extremely common among highlyifted children. These children fel pressure to be perfect and become aiaid of falling. At the same time, they wane tobe ike other children thei age. They don't want to fel different or strange, so they stop doing well in schoo, often turning into mediocre students. This process leads to sadness and behavioural changes. ‘The psychologist gave Rosi’ family the same advice the had given the other families of troubled prodigies. He recommended that they be patient with her. He also recommended that they make a special effort co show they loved her, even if she wasn doing well at school. He ‘reminded them that prxligies go through the normal stages ‘of childhood development, so they should expect Rosie 10 ‘make miseakes and act like other teenagers who didnot have ther academic aprtude.
