@@whiteboymike3999 , google her, listen to her speak and watch her work, every stroke comes from her soul. This is 13 years old. She is now 26 and a world-renowned artist whose works sell for 1.5 million dollars.
If she'd been made to go to school and only allowed to paint a couple of hours a day she would have suffered. She obviously lives in her art and is completely at one with it - she is channeling spirit and we are the lucky recipients.

Man I'm worried about the siblings of these kids, growing up with a brother or sister who has such an amazing talent, it's so easy to feel inadequate, and lead to lashing out and doing crazy things for attention. Those parents better make sure to love their kids equally, or all hell's gonna break loose.
Tell Me About Your Cat i agree as well like with the artist , since she is the bread winner of the house her brothers are working for her which will definitely make them feel inadequate or not as amazing
@Bagabones Felis well the siblings in this video are all pretty young but once they are older and have to find their own path in life they will most definitely struggle with constantly being compared to their genius sibling. Even if the parents treat them the same I'm sure there will be very situation where someone will go "Oh aren't you the sister of THAT guy?" if you know what I mean
I am crying cuz of how stressed that lil boy got at that jazz show. That made me feel so bad for him. He wants to strive for perfection. I adore him. And the little painter girl.... wow. Very impressed
That little boy has a narcissist for a father. Narcissists see their children as extensions of themselves. Their love is conditional and based purely on performance. If the child does well, the parent loves them. If not, love is not given and the child is either hated or ignored by the narcissist parent. I feel so sorry for the poor kid. Several of the parents in this video are probably narcissists.
Yes, that kid is 10 years old! It's one thing to let a prodigy go at his/her own rate, like the artist, it's another matter when they're pushed. His father definitely has an agenda and is too controlling.
The little pianist broke my heart. That’s a lot of pressure for a kid his age and his parents just sitting back and watching him feel tired without intervening.
And the girl painter needs a fiduciary to handle her money. Someone legally and ethically obligated to properly handle her money. How many times have we all seen kids get taken to the cleaners by their parents? Jackie Coogan's law etc.
Kim died of a heart attack at the age of 58 in 2009 so his father outlived him by several years. His father really devoted himself to not only caring for Kim but traveling with him and giving him a great life. Such great men.
I worried how he would cope without his father. It's tragic for a parent to have to bury their child, but if I were the father, I'd be happy he went before me so that he wouldn't suffer the pain of losing the person he depends on the most.
probably your subconcious know that you have been looking hearing experiencing all the lies and false things in the world for too long that its wearing YOU away.
when the boy said, "I know it flopped." My heart shattered. They're pushing him way too hard, having way too many high expectations while he's just a little boy. Forcing this hobby down his throat from a very young age, planning it before he was even born is not normal. He is his own person, if you're interested in something, never force it on your children. So not supportive, and I consider this mental and emotional abuse. Not healthy nor okay, this boy will grow up lowkey disliking them.
Someone called chooka parker was on Australia's got talent making music from a keyboard that was something out of this world if your interested google him.
if he would not totally love what he is doing, he would have answered the questions about prodigy and genius differently - that was no indoctrinated answer, he deeply loves it .... still his parents need to take care that he also learns sozial skills by attending enough group activities with kids in his and have a solid general education, even if he does not enjoy it (like most of the kids do not enjoy school) ............. else he will likely struggle a lot tho capitalize from his genius and live a wholesome life as an adult, like so many child geniuses did, lacking sozial skills to maneuver alone through their adult life
Agreed!he had asked to stop as he was tired,the father clearly wants him to play on,and is not actually that encouraging when,the young boy is clearly upset by the last part of his performance..he was too tired by then.there is something about the parents attitude that is too pushy..and ivy87 is absolutely right,u should never push a child's natural talent,only encourage them.this young man could run into real problems later(that wouldn't be if his own making) if he isn't supported properly.
@Zach Freeman wouldnt say abusive just a bit harder than they probably should be but whose to judge how people should raise their own kids as long as they arent actually abusive and telling your kid he could of done better isnt abusive. In fact more kids in america should be raised like that instead of always saying theyre amazing and getting things like participation trophies. Just sets them up for failure.
@Angel The Bible describes Jesus of being "ruddy" complexioned meaning he was seen to have a healthy reddish color to His skin by the ability to blush. Maybe I'm wrong but the only race that have the ability to show redness in the face are the Caucasians??
Elizabeth Puckett dont be naive. She works. She doesnt learn school no social interactions. Her parents live off her work! No way thats oke! Wasnt oke with my idol michael jackson. Its not oke with her!
I feel so bad for the children. Imagine the pressure put on their shoulder. And feels worse for their siblings. Imagine having top-achiever siblings. If they feel pressure to keep up with the expectations, the siblings are pressured to keep up with geniuses.
akiane said she did put a lot of pressure on herself. her parents didnt give into any of that pressure or place it on her. look up her real story instead of a background check on youtube before you jump to conclusions.
@@juicelyn1521 i was talking in general, meaning I'm not specifically pertaining to her. The little boy who plays the piano is mainly the one I'm talking about.
Try Google searching for other geniuses who were previously child prodigies and/or scored exceptionally high on IQ tests. A handful of them end up in regular or below average circumstances, such as working odd jobs or changing careers to something mundane.
Akiane is still making a fortune painting, Ben Pridmore is a consultant, Kim Peek is dead, Ariel Lanyi is touring and writing about music, Ainan Cawley proved to be a polymath becoming a film maker and composer.
Doctor- Kim how do you do it? Kim- I look into my own heart and mind Doctor- Kim doesn't really explain how he does it Me- Mmmm he just told you He LOOKS INTO HIS OWN HEART & MIND. the doctor can't believe this because he doesn't understand it.

My Dad was an incredible pianist. Had played for some notable singers and even had his own radio show. While he didn’t have Savant Syndrome or Autism he was an accomplished player at an early age. People always used to say he was "born with that talent". His opinion on the matter was that he was "born with the desire to learn the piano, not the ability to play it". I do miss hearing him play. ❤️😷🤘

1queijocas; of course but that should only be if there is a valid reason, being good at something doesn’t warrant that. but hey that will never happen, such a shame
Being smart has more downsides than you think...for example you rarely act your age like your 6-10 years old but you act like a young adult it really hurts when the only thing you remember from your childhood is being alone because other kids say "your no fun!get away!"or your parents put you through special schooling to be better than others....which makes it hard to make actual friends that you know wont use you for their own benefits Thats from my own experience im 16...

I felt the same way at first then I realized that the documentary is there for the reality that these people face and I found it important AND crucial that the truth is filmed. It revealed to us that this boy's dad is pushing this poor boy too hard! He is just a kid! Encouraging his interest is important but understanding that he is only a child and should be treated as such should be #1 priority!

Counting cards is not illegal. You are suppose to lose in blackjack, break even at best, so any big win, even without proof, they can suspect card counting and that is enough to kick you out, withhold your winning and blackball you in other casinos.

"I dont like the term child prodigy" Me - wow so humble "because all a child prodigy can do is play fast, they dont actually understand the music. I understand the music" also me - Whooahkay nvm he actually appears to be offended by the term lol
I know what he means. He's comparing himself to child prodigies that can memorize and play technically challenging music but they have zero feeling for the music. They lack the ability to play the softer emotional parts differently from the heavier, bombastic parts. They play a piece of music without any nuance.
I don't think he understands what "child prodigy" means. A child prodigy IMHO is someone who can do in maybe 1000 hours what it takes others to do in 10,000. It has nothing to d with speed or technique only.
@@timothycollier3807 I think he means, that he also understands the mathematical, logical and theoretical term of the music and doesn't only play the notes etc.
Child prodigy sounds just like the way it looks... A product or label of some sort, stamped on the kid's forehead, limiting him from becoming something more! A dead give away dead-end term, giving to special kids. A Doogie Howser MD for sure, he recognize real quick early in childhood about classification and how that would slow him down! Indeed, he was something more, even special!
Imagine being extremely good at something at a young age, also loving it enough to do it all day, and having the support system behind it so it flourishes.
But then the parents turn the amazing art girl, into limitless piles of money, & covet their "golden goose", charging insane amounts of money for COPIES [probably limited & numbered to make them rare & increase the value of them, or virtually limitless amounts of them, for perpetual profit], and virtually a king's ransom, for an original. Can you imagine how she could help the world, by raffling off an original? She could buy her own park, & her own house [who's idea was it to buy the expensive new house, exactly? The parents, or hers?], buy medical equipment for a 3rd world country, but her family just seems to be hoarding their "cash cow," and selling the "milk" to the highest bidder only for their own gain.
I have a cousin here in NC that they should study. He got in a car accident that they said he would not function again. He defies all his odds and now does speeches at special occassions. What is phenomenal is he can recite every speech he has ever done, but sometimes he struggles to remember daily things.
That girl okiona… just wow. Blown away by her portraits. Absolutely beautiful. So glad her parents support her and she’s allowed to learn how she wants. Of course I never showed talent on that scale on her age and would give anything to just pursue an education that I want.
You probably have other talents. I remember being a little kid and reading and studying technical manuals, gear ratios,, etc.. But when it came time for reading in general, I had the bad habit of studying ,, instead of reading. Never got past this habit until college when studied subjects requiring lots of reading, philosophy, etc.. Even still I often don't remember minutia of events, but rather concepts etc..
I like what Akiane's mother said about studies or subjects that her daughter is interested in. Would it change alot if we only focus on what we are interested in?
I believe so, but I don't even know what my interests are. God asked me "science or arts?" and before I could answer He said "you know what? Both and neither at the same time." And boom, I'm here.
As a mom and just as a human being, watching the 31:00 part was heart breaking. That was pure child neglect. Neglecting a child's need for sleep is a terrible thing to do. I had a hard time watching that child under going that amount of stress. I don't care how talented your child is or not, they still a child and as a parent its your job to feed, house, and provide adequate sleep for your child!
For what I saw, he had pretty much been guilt tripped into playing for longer, as his dad knew he is the type to want to please others and wouldn’t have wanted to personally disappoint his fans by ending the show :(
I only wish I had parents who pushed me to my fullest potential. Instead I had to rebel and push myself to break through the norms. I love open minded people.
I don’t like when the father is showing the new house his daughters art has afforded them, and he says, “we’ve given her a kitchenette “... We’ve given her?... SHE’S given THEM!
Well she looks happy and will likely succeed in life. Her parents have dedicated a lot of time and effort into her life. From a child she could not have done it on her own. When she becomes an adult she is better off to have those roots and people such as her parents or like her parents that she can trust. It’s not just about money. The parents are allowing her to develop in her own way and providing her with the soil to grow. It is also in her best interest for her parents to set some boundaries.
What an odd thing to be upset about. Maybe they paid for it, you have no way of knowing, and either way, what good is there in taking such offense to such an innocent statement? People today, jeez. Put your energy into something positive will you?
The parents granted it. For every parent that follows the guide of a gifted child there are a million forcing their kids to conform and many denying their children the possibility to contribute to their own wishes. All the parents had to do was say "no", "you're too young to know what you want", "We can't all quit our jobs to let you do what you want" this family got lucky that betting on the wishes of a kid has worked out for everyone.
@@terrythomas790 she's actually 26 now, and at least from what she writes she is very close to her family. It seems to be one of the few stories that didn't fall apart. The only two times when things kind of went bad was when she lost a finger and thought she would leave art- her mother stepped back and offered her other creative projects like literature and poetry while the family lived in extreme poverty. Despite dad havinging two jobs and mom one. Then the girl started hearing that voice and returned to painting with a fervor and her mom stepped up to promote the girl's art. The second rough time was when they got her an agent to help grow her art. When things went bad and paintings were going missing (including that featured prince of peace painting) the family went to court and went through a long expensive battle to get her out of her contract, then took over the sales and promotion together. That is what opened up her opportunity to maximize her profits. This family was extremely fortunate
It killed me when the son asked his father how he did and the father said “we will talk about it later” then said he didn’t do well. I understand criticism but how about start with positives!
His father didn’t want to embarrass him in front of the cameras but he certainly wasn’t harsh about it. Ariel is extremely critical of his own performances so his father quickly learned that giving the boy lip service wouldn’t fly. Here is an interesting interview with Ariel that you may enjoy: www.google.ca/amp/s/crosseyedpianist.com/2015/05/16/meet-the-artist-ariel-lanyi/amp/
If I’m guessing right then they are Russian and that’s how some of them discipline their children.. at least that’s what I know from my Russian friends (I’m from Israel too) 🤷🏽♀️
at elite levels honesty is necessary. im friends with an olmypic coach who does pros and amateurs he says for ams he doesnt want to hurt their feelings and molly coddles them but when it gets to serious pros he will tell them no matter how bad they done no matter what their age is.
Bens talent and logic/reasoning of how he remembers the numbers is insane!!!! Whenever I hide something In a clever new spot thinking “I won’t forget this hiding spot cuz it rhymes with .... or looks like ..... “ and then I can’t remember my made up reason / way and completely forget where I hid my stuff” I’ve lost a lot of things this way lol
It caught my attention when the boy asked his dad about his performance and the dad was like, we'll talk about it later. Then he just assumed he flopped.
Yes! While I could understand to a point the dad wanting to uphold high expectations etc, it must be done carefully with an eye to the child's inner experience - it really seemed a huge missed opportunity to help him process his perception that it "flopped" because it obviously didn't and his self esteem was taking a hit.
I find it curious that you feel inclined to write a comment, and then you choose to criticize the father, in the middle of so many amazing and beautiful things you see around.
Me Too if the child meets criteria for genius-level intelligence, that makes him a genius; he is also a savant. there’s no question that this little boy is smarter than most of us. but he’s a kid (read: HUMAN) and it’s HIS BODY and if he doesn’t want to be filmed, he has every right to say so. ps. THEY’RE**
They should be proud, and after all, it is there genetic make up that made the kids. While a lot of it is luck in the genetic lottery, they still did better than 90% of us on the light side.
The kid is self aware enough and enough of an expert himself to know that he didn't play to his full potential, the father can only be honest with him and build confidence in his assessment rather than confuse him with mistruths to stop him having hurt feelings. That would be far more detrimental to him in the long run.
That father seems to be absolutely abusive towards that boy by being critical and belittling him with his behaviour. This little guy can work his bottom off and he will never feel good enough and worthy enough with this type of parenting.
Then you never saw a Davinci or a Dahli or Rembrandt or a Vermeer...... Finepainting was the standard for many century before ugly modern low-standards art took over....😉
How is nobody talking about the fact that she thinks god is talking to her and that he throws ideas in her head and she makes it better and perfect it. Like if you believe in god you know thats not how shit works lmao
loved how the little pianist said he didn´t like to be labeled as a child prodigy "cause prodigies just play fast, they think fast, but not understanding music" claming he understands it...and when asked if he was a genius OMG "not yet, I will be one day, but not yet" so humble!!! I wish him the best
It's strangely odd to be a parent to a gifted child. I taught mine to read a 3 and she was reading novels by 5. Was given a scholarship to one of the most exclusive science and math schools in the US at 15. She made the decision to return to a regular high school and they had to make special classes for her alone. She spends her school day in study hall because they simply don't have classes to offer her. While other kids are taking algebra, she's already passed college senior level calculus. The downside of this wasn't anticipated. Because she's so extremely bored, she has severe depression and anxiety. I'm proud of her, but I'm terrified for her mental health.
Then she is dumb for making a decision like that and you're dumber for allowing her to go back to HS. Have her take the exit exam and not go back. Have her use her time to spend with people or animals in need.
They say - she's a genius BECAUSE she focuses her time to art - I say: she focuses her time on art because she IS a genius. Critics think its something she works for - I say its some thing she was born with and works WITH.

For the stage performances anyone who considered themselfs a musician would want to present their talent and gain the gratification of applause. That painter is being exploited fs tho. I doubt that greasy dad lets her taste any of what she earns.
@@BasicHuman2000 Neither are being exploited. They have a gift and need to share it with the world. She is too young to run a business and so it is right and correct that her parents run all that department. Her talent is paying for the whole family and that is their business. I I had her talent and could do the same I would. I would be proud of myself and of my parents and be very happy to give their lives this gift. There is no exploitation going on whatsoever. If I won the lottery I would give it to my parents and have them stop working for sure. I am starting a new business with my work friend and we will be making a lot of money. We will be window cleaning with around 750 buildings on our books. I already told my mum I want her to retire because she is getting tired and a little frail so she will be living with me and I will top up her pension she already receives so she can live well without working anymore. It's a gift that I have this opportunity to make a lot of money with room for a 3rd person to hire for expansion. I am sharing because my mum helped me many times when I struggled with house payments and got into debt.
@@MICKEYISLOWD your definition of exploitation is definitely misconstrued because that's exactly what they are doing. They are using their children for there benefit. What you would do and what is being done are two totally different things. These children are being used solely for their parents advancement.
*That's a very inspiration to me.* She lacks even basic sentence structure. I'm sorry, well no I'm not.... I'm going to be judgemental. Just listening to the father speak made me feel uncomfortable. The way he described making prints of the originals, the financial aspect, the room she paints in, it all feels very pushy....and definitely exploitation. The mother gives off an odd vibe as well. I know many artists will have prints made, but it devalues them in the long run.....she has such obvious talent, I wonder if she'd been older and not "advised" by her parents to sell prints if she would have chosen to? I'm not an expert by any means, especially in art, but the artists I know simply do not create prints on a matter of principle for them. An inspired painting is an original.....one of a kind not to be repeated, nor printed on copy. My cousin is a professional artist, I'm not speaking world wide of course, but she's had the talent since a young age and sells on the professional level. She creates art in different types of medium, but the majority are paintings. Her style is a select niche, it definitely doesn't appeal to everyone. But it brings in a pretty good amount of money to live comfortably. Her art may sell from a very small piece at $50 to thousands, depending I guess on what it is. (I have no idea how she decides on what to price her art at) They are rather striking and breathtaking pieces to me. Being brought up practically though she did also get an education and degree, so she holds a regular everyday job as well. Again these are just my opinion and own experience, which is really irrelevant, these children are grown now. I saw a link that said the girl is now 25 and just fine. Whatever fine is? Really subjective.
I dont think it was wise for parents to tell little boy playing piano, when he asked how he played "We'll talk about Later" . He played FANTASTIC and I'm a musician. Amazing
I see one thing in common, the parents all support the children in their interest and I think that has such a huge impact on them becoming so great. Not discounting their gift but it truly helps in my opinion
the girl that drew omg she was absolutely astounding and so was the boy that could play piano but I feel his talent was more influenced by the parent whereas the girl her talent seemed to just come on it's own and she just is amazing
On it's own? She said GOD told her to paint. And I would think that if GOD told her to paint, GOD probably had something to do with her having that talent.
@@snoodlegirl1794 oh that's fine. It was at the end of the video. Where he tried to remember a lot of cards. And there was a lot of ppl around him that looked like caricature of themselves. :) Hope that helped to jog your nog
You can totally tell he was anxious as fuck after his father said that. I feel like a lot goes on behind the scenes in their household. It was hard to watch him panic like that.
I just pray he's not abusing that little boy. You could see the fear in the boys eyes that he let his father down or embarrassed him. This is just sick on so many levels.
In regards to the 13 year old girl prodigy, she's very impressive. BUT like everyone else is saying, I think it's a big issue when she's the breadwinner of the house. The dad says when she turns 18, he will back off, but will he REALY? Money really tears relationships apart, it doesn't matter if it's family. He almost brags when he says they sell 50 prints a month and that ranges from $1,800 to $3,300. Let's not forget his mistake of saying "I sell..." and then promptly correcting himself to "we sell." Around 24:20, they talk about how their daughter isn't missing out on much, but it you really think about it, she's homeschooled. She spends a majority of her time painting, even missing her meals to paint. It doesn't seem like she has any friends! Her social life suffers and what she really is missing out on as a 13 year old girl is that social connection! All she knows is business because he family relies on her to make money. Peer influence plays a major role in an individual's development and when you take that away, all the influences she has is from her family, THAT IS LIVING OFF OF HER. I haven't finished the video yet but I see a lot of comments about 33:00. Thanks for reading my rant! You're cool! (:
I disagree a bit. If the parents are acting as her managers or putting in full time work to support the daughter then it is a family business similar to farm families or any other family business where the whole family works for the family. I do however see any million dollar single family home as a waste of money.
@@jake5210 it's not a family business because without her they wouldn't have anything. They wouldn't have the money they have now if she decided to not paint.
@@jake5210 a family business includes the whole family not just focused around one person's talent. She's being used.by her ow family and they would probably be upset if she decided to stop.
@@scotteishalucas9624 then what do you call a family business that uses the kids drags the wife or husband from their lifestyle and do farming or whatever business that involves the family??? It doesnt matter what you call it or who's in charge it's a family business when the family is involved and living it. I do see your point but at the same time realistically this is a family business whether you try to say other wise bc they are doing a product, selling it and making profit. The only staffs are family members idk it can be called a business if you're against the word family.
I don't know if it's me, but besides great talent I see a bunch of dads fulfilling their ambitions through their children, and saying "they will decide when they grow up, but until then I'll 'gently' push him/her to do this"
@@daLukasMain really? Ariel's father literally started playing his son Bach from birth, and was highly invested in having a piano in the house before Ariel was even born. I think that's more conditioning than allowing your child to "become who/what they are." that said, Ariel is an incredible talent and that should be NURTURED, not CONDITIONED to continue along this path. i cannot see the nuances in the parenting of Ariel with this video. I can only hope that they have pure intensions.
Sorry but there is nothing wrong with dads pushing their kids to do something incredible. If these dads didn't care then their moms would be pushing their kids not to get hurt, not to stress out, not to even try.
That 10 year old musician, Ariel, has a dad I really don't like: God gave him a child to care for, not to use to the point of breaking the child's spirit. Genius or not, they're still human beings and still need love and care.
Unfortunately parents are not perfect. My dad saw a talent in me when I was very young. And all parents want is to see their child be more successful than they were, so they work them as hard as possible. And they have no problem respond the benefits
@@sebastiangoiyethomas4710 That child should be loved unconditionally also, and not only for what he can do. He already has the talent, he didn't have to be treated like that. That's just my opinion.
He did amazing at that jazz club. Ariel's fathers role was to say...."you are amazing my son and THAT was amazing." Anything below that is a shame. ....if that is how Ariel wishes to be pushed then that is different, but his parents have been expecting this piano thing from him since before he was born so he has to feel some natural pressure stemming from him feeling he needs appreciation from his parents. I hope he stands on his own two feet with his talent and doesn't feel he owes anything to his parents as he matures.
