This is where I'm going to offend some people, I just know it Sad , but I've really got to make a point here...

I think that having a child is one of the best miricales that can be shared by two people, but how you treat a child is important to.

This poor little girl should be in school, with other kids, not being drug all over as though she were some exceptional music talent which, tragically, she's just not.

Here parts call her "Our little Mozart" and they drag her around the world puppeting her and her less-than-prodigous talent around for the world to see. They've even started a website. The first video here makes all the difference, because you'd expect the little girl with the violen to be capable of playing the song they chose for the video, when in trueth she is years away.





Okay... Now here's a glimps of what she actually sounds like playing.



Not that that was exceptionally bad or anything, but I don't think it justifies ripping her out of school and dragging her all over the world.


Here's her Piano Solo at age 5, the same age they started taking her around the world. I've got to tell you, I've been to a lot of these, and I've seen several better preformances and several worse performances as well. This is really only about par for any child who has taken a few piano lessons.




Now the parents reffer to themselves as "Global nomad homeschoolers" which as far as I can tell means "Hippies exploiting our little girl because she's adorable and we think she's talented." You can tell by this little girl's ability to play music that she doesn't enjoy all of this. Because I promise you with as many lessons as they force on her, if she enjoyed what she was doing, she'd be playing a lot better than what we've seen from her, because she'd put her mind to it.

She turns 8 this year.

This poor little girl deserves a normal life. I don't think there's a child psychologist in the world who would disagree with me in saying that children of her age thrive on structure and peer involvement. I think it is wrong for parents to live through their children like this.

She didn't look very happy playing the violin, but it was nice seeing her play the piano in a duet with her father. I, personally, choose to reserve judgment on this because, frankly, we don't know that the child didn't insist on this herself.
