Child Genius (C4)

[TheFirstOfHerName]

Anyone planning to watch this?

I was a little like these children; joined Mensa as a child, but used my ability to coast through school/university rather than to achieve anything noteworthy.

DS2 is also of this ilk. We are not doing any of the things these parents are doing, although when opportunities arise through school then obviously we let him participate.

Eek

Dd has heard that before

Has it been a week already since the last one?

I like Eleanor so far.

Lol. I love it.

Eleanor is interesting, her parents seem fairly sane.

This is so her.

Notagenius I assume it's Eleanor you know!?

And dd hates 1D too!!

Um, what is all this going on with Curtis?

Eleanor is lovely. I think she will go far in academia

"Mummy, I'm scared"

Curtis' mum is deluded.

I couldn't stand Eleanor and her self-important voice.

was he eating a bowl of soup in the back of the car?

My own dd is very clever but she always thought herself as unintelligent. Now I know why. She's always been I. Her shadow.

And Eleanor's mother, despite teaching English at university, clearly didn't know what 'disinterested' means.

"No you're not" !!!!!

It's just the way she speaks. She sounds very posh (think she has family members down south)

I'd have to get Eleanor's hair cut into a decent style if I was her mum.

No I couldn't cope with the voice either

I couldn't believe that either Imperial

She chose the haircut herself just before she left junior school. It used to be very different but she wanted it shorter. She has a unique sense if style shall we say, no interest in fashion whatsoever!.

Weekly appraisals!

Criticising the voice and hairstyle of a child, just because she's on TV, seems a bit off.
