Chris Ledgard presents a series looking at the lives of people who were labelled child prodigies.

Retired civil servant David Heigham spent years looking for someone to explain why his schooling left him incapable of fulfilling his intellectual talents.

Then he found Professor Carol Dweck of Stanford University, whose theories David believes offer important lessons to anyone dealing with a gifted child.

Producer: Chris Ledgard

First broadcast on 麻豆社 Radio 4 in September 2008.
