We all envy him, but he can do these things when he's older. He'll appreciate them better then. Let him have his childhood nw.

@Bolanle Akanji, I fail to see where exactly he is missing his childhood. He's a prodigy. The word 'child' and 'prodigy' are not mutually exclusive, you see...

He's still being pushed too hard. I saw a video of him where his father made him run unclad in the snow. That's harsh. Prodigy or not, he can develop it without these things.

I dunno mehn...I kinda support @Bolanle Akanji. Michael Jackson was pushed too hard as a kid. Look how he turned out.

But that's just my opinion.

Loooool... @Vunderkind, don't even bring Michael Jackson into the mix. Michael had issues that were unrelated to his father pushing him. I mean, it is unlikely that his father would single him out of the other four to screw up his life.

@Bolanle Akanji what is that saying again? "What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger"? Exactly. The boy hasn't died, has he? Then he will be stronger.

Me too. I feel bad for your son/daughter, whoever he/she may turn out to be
