This is fantastic viewing! The little artist Kieran, what a lovely lovely unaffected sweet kid, just so unaffected by his unbelieveable talent - you can see his parents are loving, fantastic people who have kept everything normal for him.

Love the little kid - the 4 year old Max. Again amazing loving parents, and his parents are so humble and lovely. And the parents - who come from an underprivilaged background doing their Absolute everything to do the very best for him in life. It brought a tear to my eye!

I also really like the 16 year old chess prodidgy, seems like a lovely kid, but he does need some state schooling i think.

Anyone else watching??
 
The little artist is a lovely lad , I loved his paintings .But the end concerned me , they used his money to buy themselves a house under the pretence of it being an investment ???
Max's parents seemd lovely but out of their league and getting no support by the look of it .
The little chinese girl needed a good talking to and a bit of respect for her parents .
And the two boys seemed to be forced into something to satisfy the fathers neeRAB .I felt sorry for them and for the kid who had no schooling to concentrate on chess .What a narrow world he will live in ..
 
I dont know re Kieran's parents, I would hope they really did see it as an investment, that they were advised on but I do see what you are saying.

I too was sad to see the lack of support poor Max's parents were receving :( it made me sad to see how such a bright kid could not reach his full potential becuase the parents weren't rich - not fair :mad:

Re the two asian laRAB, i quite liked them, agree the parents were ott, but they did seem like very well adjusted lovely kiRAB so hopefully the parents are balancing the study with fun!

Oh and completely agree re the Asian lass, she would want to get a big wake up call and be more respectful and loving to her parents who have done everything for her, not a likeable girl at all :mad:

Great programme though i just want to adopt Kieran and Max, they were such sweeties!! :D:p
 
I must admit that I raised an eyebrow when kierans parents said he was buying a house as an investment. It depenRAB how it is done though, they did say that they were buying the house outright with his money but then renting it from him so hopefully it's all done via a solicitor and above board.

I hope it continues to go well for kieran, He is very talented but a lot of his success has come because of his age. His paintings are absolutely exceptional for a child his age which is what makes them so special. I hope he can continue to produce even more exceptional paintings as an adult. The art galleries in London seemed a bit sceptical.

I agree though, what a really lovely lad he is. I loved his comment about not wanting to be cocky :-)
 
His paintings are only going to go for a couple of hundred when he's not the youngest painter any more. If he's really a genius he'll bite off his own ear and die young. $$$!

The oriental girl was an advert for the merits of a good spanking.
 
It's sad that Kieran and his family are leaving Norfolk to live in Cornwall. No way will he find the peace & quiet and the BIG skies that he painted so well when he's in Cornwall.

Packed to the hilt in summer too!
 
Moving to Cornwall is supposedly going to give the child more material for his paintings. It's not just because his parents always wanted to live there. I was a bit concerned that the whole family dynamic seemed to revolve around him. What effect will this have on the little sister? Just a thought...
