Brainboxes S01E02 - Episode 2

The second programme examines how difficult it can be for a gifted child coming to terms with being different. What happens when you're a square peg in a round hole? How does the school system work for someone operating well beyond their years? And how easy is it to find friends when the people around you just don't think the same way?

We explore the expectations gifted children place on themselves and the pressure they feel from others.
