Those kids in his class must feel like shit knowing a 8 year old has the highest grade in there class.
Who is also on a marathon of these videos and feel more worthless?
Imagine how all the other students feel
Compared to the other prodigies he acts a lot more to his age...
Some people are smart because they were born with a talent for learning. If society wouldn't crush children's creativity and curiosity, maybe this would happen more often.
hes a good kid, he dont act like a big head around other kids around his age, And he says his pleases and thank you's lol
I can't wait to hear about this kid in the future.
This is a message to everyone here, if you have children or are planning of having children, PAY ATTENTION TO THEM NO MATTER WHAT, if they say school is boring then take it seriously, if they request to learn something different, start them off with something simple yet interesting.
"She's my sister, Tiara. She's six years old and that's basically it." I love that he's a genius but still such a kid.
I would feel really dumb if I was 19 and still in a class with an 8 year old.
I aced all my college classes and i thought i was smart until i saw this video. There goes my self-confidence. Btw, im really glad that the parents still allow him to be kid.
Young Raj from the big bang theory.
I love Tanishq's enthusiasm and passion for astronomy. He is absolutely awesome.
He's so cute. And smart. Real smart.
His parents are AMAZING
real life Sheldon Copper
You can actually see that his own age limits him... cognitive functions are lightyears ahead of his speach center...
And I thought I was smart. *sob
He may be the only guy alive who could understand women.
If only my parents would've started teaching me since age 1
Tanishq for president!
8:08 "he can choose anything he likes, but as long as it keeps him happy" thats just amazing parental support. :-)
Isn't it amazing that concepts which many adults have a difficult time understanding come so easy to this 9 year old? That's wild.
Inb4 this kid saves the human race from extinction
It's not just the children that inspire me, it's also the amazing parents who do everything in their power to assist their child in furthering their understanding. Great parents make great kids!
Usually when you see this kid geniuses they seem to be incredibly awkward and have serious social problems, but Tanishq obviously seems to be able to act just like a normal kid. It's a great testament to his parents, allowing him to still have fun and make friends.
I think he'd probably be a really good president
this child is a true blessing from god!!!!!!!!!!!!he could be the hope of this world
i truly hope this kid goes on to make this world a better place for all human kind
obviously hes indian...
Hats off to his intelligent, caring, and supportive family. In order to constantly challenge a person with such talent like Tanishq, they've must have been very active with his interests. I wish all parents all over the world would be able to do this with their children as well. He seems to have a very well rounded life; good for him! Best of luck Tanishq!
I love how he said "its never boring talking to college students." How sweet and innocent. The college intellectual ambiance is relaxing, stimulating, & nurturing for both the body, mind, and soul. It expands & relax our minds. Whether you are 9 or 90 years old - learning is beautiful, calming, & inspirational.
Very generous! The family is based in California, so not sure if they're looking at schools so far away.
Indians are smart
This kid is gonna help evolve the World.
Could he be any cuter ?
Was this supposed to be a compliment or insult?
I really think if i was kept away from Girls, TV, Soda, Candy and didn't have worry about family problems and being bullied at a young age, i would perform way better not on his level but not that far apart... wish him the best !!!
I feel so stupid right now. He will do great things for America. =)
SHELDOOOOOOON!
What a brilliant mind and not only does he have the potential, his parents helped him accelerate his mind at such a young age. There are young minds that have so much potential, but the parents sometimes don't contribute or cannot contribute to the children's potential.
I admire his enthusiasm and raw passion for everything that interests him. He doesn't come off as smug/condescending at all, which is hard for someone who has superior intellect at such a young age. I can't help but think that he must feel so lonely bc he has a disconnect with his peers his age and also his classmates in college classroom Tanisq, I can't wait to see what you can do in the years to come! You are beyond adorable :)
This kid is so inspiring its amazing really :P
man i hope this kid gets the help he needs! he is awesome and he could end up saving us all one day. :) take care tanishq
rajesh koothrappali ?
The other college students look mad and jealous loool
Seeing him and the other kids really gives back some hope in this world
wow he is amazing!
The kid is just lucky that he receives all this opportunities.Most kids his age don't get home-schooled, don't even get raised the same way. His parents can afford college.
The kid is missing out on his childhood. He even misses having friends! I'm sure more kids could be as smart as he is with the right parental supervision. You can notice that he is a child just by what he suggests sometimes. But the parents push him (notice the T-shirt he's wearing in the end and the quote, idea of parents?).
hope this kid does great things
he has a great personality! so humble about his success and a seemingly very happy and healthy little boy.
Help me with my homework??...NO here, DO MY HOMEWORK!....and I need that back in 10 minutes....lol
Being so young, his imagination probably allows him to grasp extremely difficult concepts. I bet.
My mother was told by a psychologist that I would never be able to get married if she allowed me to be put into a higher grade as my school had suggested. I was kept at grade/age level all my school years. i learned nothing in my classes, was not able to communicate with people my own age, but I didn't stop learning. I am incredibly educated but have no certification for it. I am happy that i didn't allow myself to stagnate. I did marry and have children. Now I am writing books.So happy for him
This kid is absolutely brilliant and a great inspiration. The love of learning... doesn't get much better than that. If only this motivation could extend to other students.
Why dislike the video?
This kid is a gem not only is he smart, but most importantly he is a humble person with good intentions to help out man kind in the future.
i would like to recommend Jacob Samuel(Sam) ,He is an Amazing Child Pianist from India born with a gift of perfect pitch...Sam is 9yrs old...
This Kid Has A Great Talent On His Hands! I wish i was as smart as him! Im Proud Of Him!! He Will Make A Difference In Life :)
The parents are doing an amazing job keeping his momentum going and exposing him to a wide variety of subjects; also for giving him an way to socialize with kids his age which I feel is just as important. Seeing that his sister is always showing potential, I'd say we're gonna be hearing a lot from the Abraham Family in the decades to come.
Love him, and his amazing family !! Wish him the best !!
WOW
Tanishq has two gifts in life:
1) His God-given desire to learn at an accelerated level (and therefore his ability to do so at an early age)
2) His supportive parents...it's clear he would never have these opportunities if it wasn't for their encouragement and dedication to him and his sister.
Remarkable. Much kudos to everyone involved in enriching this kid's life.
Many little Einstein's yet no change of human circumstances.
Oh my gosh i have never seen anything like this in my whole life, this is truly amazing
Man. Something makes me feel bad for this kid. *sigh* Like, Flowers for Algernon sad.
This kid makes me smile.
I do see him being the president of the USA
When you love what you do it's never looked at as work. Like he said he does it for fun, I love seeing people so deep in their passion because they are truly happy and it glows from them.
Why don't neuroscientists gather all these human miracles such as prodigies and savants and actually do some serious studies.We could find out so much about the human mind.
looks like abed from community
Beautiful....Theres no doubt that he is insanely gifted but this video also shows what happens when you remove the walls set by traditional schooling and let kids learn at their own pace. Go Tanishq!!!! :)
the ending of the video definitely gave me a tear in my eye... thank god for such opportunities like this for children of the world
yea, how many other 8 eight year olds do you know that are like that.
LOL. That was gold.
Tanishq is not only a brilliant child he is also extremely handsome ;O) He and his sister are gifts to humanity and this makes me smile :O) Please spotlight lovely Tiara as well! She deserves as much praise as her brother (you go girl!) Bravo to the parents. You have quite a challenge keeping these beautiful minds stimulated.
thanks thnkrtv :) I love hearing about these kids, restoring what faith I have left in humanity lol
"I want to build a rocket that goes faster than light!" Almost teared up because don't most kids that age want a xbox?
She's my sister Tiara, she's 6 years old... and that's basically it! haha
It's good to see his parents are so supportive.
kids like this are so needed for our future
Faith in humanity restored
raj from the big bang theory??
Absoluely amazing. I hope to meet this kid someday.
Every time I watch Prodigies I'm like OMG I LOVE THIS KID!
I would feel so dumb and change my life plans if I was in class w this kid lol.....hope he does some amazing things
I'm supposed my child won't be a prodigy, and I'm really happy about it!! :))
I don't think is goodfor a child to be so much different from peers. Social skills are more important at that age (actually, at any age)
Hope this kid fulfils his dreams. Schools can sometimes. Surpress a kids talent. I am glad his parents listened to this kid and supported him.
The young man is intellectually gifted no denying that at all. It is worth mentioning that most if not all of us can grasp certain concepts that at first glance seem difficult (like cosmology), the only difference is that for "normal" people like us, we would have sit down a little longer to understand it, but its doable. Anything is possible.
can you imagine how much he gets picked on by the other students for being different
smart guy
his parents are so supportive! this child has potential.
i watch this with a deep sigh of relief. how wonderful to see that there will be brilliant human beings like this to pass on the legacy of this planet to. the world will not turn to shit as i'm old and greying after all.
Haha omg! American River in Sacramento!? I'm friends with a lot of the tennis players there xD, I'm from the Chabot College tennis team and we're close to the ARC team lols. What an odd coincidence the chances of seeing a video about a prodigy that goes to that school lols
he's so pure... i really hope he stays like that.
Wise words.
Much respect.
This kid is awesome! Not only is he super smart, but he's well mannered and seems really friendly. His parents are clearly doing an excellent job! :-)

Tanishq: this is my sister, Tiara, she's six years old....and....that's about it.

Hehe, "This is my sister, she's six years old, and that's basically it."
What a guy! Kudos to his parents and a hi five to Tanishq.
"as buzzlightyear says...2 infinity and beyond" first couple min you had me convinced but after that....you got my vote, lil dudes awesome!
