Paperback. Etat : Good. How do children grow up to be world-changing adults?What's it like growing up as a child destined to remake the world? First, They Were Children looks in on the little-known childhoods of seven people who changed our modern world. What can be learned from these stories that you can apply to our own, or our children's lives?Many people have contributed to the comforts and conveniences we've grown so accustomed to, but the truly colossal breakthroughs have amazingly come from only a handful of exceptionally unique individuals.This is a small group of geniuses who saw the world differently than the rest of us. They perceived more and they ignored less. They were more curious about things we typically take for granted and were less willing to trust the wisdom of authorities.Genius means more than super-smart. True genius is breaking new ground, not just remembering and reciting existing information. First, They Were Children takes you through the childhoods of seven history-changing people, so that you may discover both their uniquenesses and their commonalities.What sets these children apart?Genetic potential alone can't predict genius, because there are so many other elements such as nurture, social, and cultural influences, that can either support or discourage its potential.Unfortunately, their types of gifts aren't always recognized early on. Due to their special uniqueness, these types of children can also be branded as social misfits or students with learning disabilities. So, how can we tell the difference?Follow these fascinating people through their childhoods to discover how they became such remarkable adults and get a surprising look at how geniuses really come about.Read about: The child who had to go to therapy for his rebellious behavior.The shy child who wouldn't pay attention in school.The child who would doodle in his schoolbooks, rather than listen to the teacher.The child who was taken to the doctor at the age of three because of his inability to speak.The lazy child who would always try to avoid doing his chores.The child who was plagued by nightmares, visions, and compulsions.The child whose relentless questions convinced his father that his son must be stupid.It may be difficult to raise a child, but it's more difficult to be one. Every child is different and maybe in these stories we can learn how to recognize and foster their uniquenesses.Buy this book now and watch the blossoming of 7 real geniuses.
