Both parents are speech experts! and they wanted other experts help on what else they should do with their little genuis. No professionals would return their call, so they went to their local news affiliate! haha

I wonder if they know about this forum :stuck_out_tongue:

What do you think? Is this girl born with some special speech ability like her father said?

It’s an old video–very cute. I’d like to see what the parents were doing with her. It’s also very possible that she’s a plain old genius; kids with actual genius-level IQs (not that they can be tested as having such) are able to learn such things, and much more, from amazingly early ages. Those of us with non-genius genes have to use tools to make it a lot easier for our kids. :slight_smile:

Yes I saw this video a good while back - she now has a little brother and I would love to know if they did the same things with him and how he is doing. The last update I could find was before her brother was born.

Ahhh I didnt know it’s that old! :ph34r:

Quoted from one interview, Her parents, hoping for privacy for the sake of their daughter, have established a Web site to provide updates and to provide a way for others to communicate with the family by e-mail, www.elizabethreads.com.

The website’s not up… so I guess that means they want their privacy… or maybe they are too busy for this :stuck_out_tongue:
