Specialists Leonid Armer, Mikhail Vetrov and Svetlana Solovieva in an interview Federal News Agency told what consequences await gifted children participating in the Smarter than Everyone program and other children’s shows.

According to experts, first such children are drilled, and then left alone with mental trauma. Often they spend a lot of time in an atmosphere of constant competition and nervousness.

“I don’t know how right it is to teach children about money from an early age, to be motivated by money. It seems to me that this can affect their further development very much, ”said Mikhail Vetrov.

Leonid Armera believes that such shows drive the child into a stressful state, after which he can begin to change his behavior. Psychologist Svetlana Solovieva agreed with this opinion.

She added that such children, alas, have no life experience and no adaptive, as well as compensatory opportunities. Because of this, they do not know how to cope with failures, they lack any psychological protection.

“These injuries can lead to psychosomatic pathologies, neuroses, depression, the child can be hysterical, scream, cry, up to suicidal actions,” the specialist concluded.
