That little boy has a narcissist for a father. Narcissists see their children as extensions of themselves. Their love is conditional and based purely on performance. If the child does well, the parent loves them. If not, love is not given and the child is either hated or ignored by the narcissist parent. I feel so sorry for the poor kid. Several of the parents in this video are probably narcissists.

Forcing this hobby down his throat from a very young age, planning it before he was even born is not normal. He is his own person, if you're interested in something, never force it on your children. So not supportive, and I consider this mental and emotional abuse. Not healthy nor okay, this boy will grow up lowkey disliking them.

if he would not totally love what he is doing, he would have answered the questions about prodigy and genius differently - that was no indoctrinated answer, he deeply loves it .... still his parents need to take care that he also learns sozial skills by attending enough group activities with kids in his and have a solid general education, even if he does not enjoy it (like most of the kids do not enjoy school) ............. else he will likely struggle a lot tho capitalize from his genius and live a wholesome life as an adult, like so many child geniuses did, lacking sozial skills to maneuver alone through their adult life

In regards to the 13 year old girl prodigy, she's very impressive. BUT like everyone else is saying, I think it's a big issue when she's the breadwinner of the house. The dad says when she turns 18, he will back off, but will he REALY? Money really tears relationships apart, it doesn't matter if it's family. He almost brags when he says they sell 50 prints a month and that ranges from $1,800 to $3,300. Let's not forget his mistake of saying "I sell..." and then promptly correcting himself to "we sell." Around 24:20, they talk about how their daughter isn't missing out on much, but it you really think about it, she's homeschooled. She spends a majority of her time painting, even missing her meals to paint. It doesn't seem like she has any friends! Her social life suffers and what she really is missing out on as a 13 year old girl is that social connection! All she knows is business because he family relies on her to make money. Peer influence plays a major role in an individual's development and when you take that away, all the influences she has is from her family, THAT IS LIVING OFF OF HER.

I can't help but feel like the musician's father saw him as a means to an end before he was even born - he said they didn't play music but bought a piano especially for him, made him a tape with music on and made him to listen to it repeatedly. Telling him he wasn't good enough, neglecting his needs by forcing him to play shows when he's tired - the boy doesn't even look happy playing piano, if anything it seems like he is determined to seek his father's approval. It feels like all of these parents wanted their children to do well in life but have pushed it too far.

The only two times when things kind of went bad was when she lost a finger and thought she would leave art- her mother stepped back and offered her other creative projects like literature and poetry while the family lived in extreme poverty. Despite dad havinging two jobs and mom one. Then the girl started hearing that voice and returned to painting with a fervor and her mom stepped up to promote the girl's art. The second rough time was when they got her an agent to help grow her art. When things went bad and paintings were going missing (including that featured prince of peace painting) the family went to court and went through a long expensive battle to get her out of her contract, then took over the sales and promotion together. That is what opened up her opportunity to maximize her profits. This family was extremely fortunate

*That's a very inspiration to me.* She lacks even basic sentence structure. I'm sorry, well no I'm not.... I'm going to be judgemental. Just listening to the father speak made me feel uncomfortable.

I know many artists will have prints made, but it devalues them in the long run.....she has such obvious talent, I wonder if she'd been older and not "advised" by her parents to sell prints if she would have chosen to? I'm not an expert by any means, especially in art, but the artists I know simply do not create prints on a matter of principle for them. An inspired painting is an original.....one of a kind not to be repeated, nor printed on copy. My cousin is a professional artist, I'm not speaking world wide of course, but she's had the talent since a young age and sells on the professional level. She creates art in different types of medium, but the majority are paintings. Her style is a select niche, it definitely doesn't appeal to everyone. But it brings in a pretty good amount of money to live comfortably. Her art may sell from a very small piece at $50 to thousands, depending I guess on what it is. (I have no idea how she decides on what to price her art at) They are rather striking and breathtaking pieces to me. Being brought up practically though she did also get an education and degree, so she holds a regular everyday job as well.

I feel sorry for the child pianist. Special or not, we must remember that they physically still are children. And children who probably require more sleep than the average child, not less. The dad should have stated to the audience that the child is tired and it´s past him bed time. Poor lil muffin. My eyes leaked for him when he had to sit back down at the piano as he was rubbing his eyes of exhaustion. One could argue that this is abusive. We have no right to push them so hard, for our entiertainment . We used to to objectify people with dwarfism in circuses, and I don´t see the difference here. Kid in a bar entertaining adults when he should be in bed being told a bed time story. Sad. He is missing out on just being a kid, wh he will never get back.

[@seventeencloth1769]

I totally agree

[@ivyd2941]

Yes, I completely agree. He is so sweet and apart from his obvious talent acting so mature for his age, caring about being professional. It seems hard for the parents of these special children to not take financial advantage of their talent and that is just sad.

It's strangely odd to be a parent to a gifted child. I taught mine to read a 3 and she was reading novels by 5. Was given a scholarship to one of the most exclusive science and math schools in the US at 15. She made the decision to return to a regular high school and they had to make special classes for her alone. She spends her school day in study hall because they simply don't have classes to offer her. While other kids are taking algebra, she's already passed college senior level calculus. The downside of this wasn't anticipated. Because she's so extremely bored, she has severe depression and anxiety. I'm proud of her, but I'm terrified for her mental health.

"I am gonna improve". Dad: He is not pleased. OFC! You just told him he was not good enough. A child wants to please parents at such young age... If you tell him that it could have been better he will think he did bad. And tbh, seeing as both parents are not with musical education I have no idea how dad can even tell him he is not good enough? Dude, you are not a musician. You know nothing! Poor child has tears in his eyes as he struggles to make it all better for his dad.

[@Jornandreja]

It bothered me too. I would tell my son that he is amazing and he did wonderful for his first time playing late night. That doesn't mean he can't practice and get better, but he needed love in that moment. He needed to know that his father is proud of him.

Yes! While I could understand to a point the dad wanting to uphold high expectations etc, it must be done carefully with an eye to the child's inner experience - it really seemed a huge missed opportunity to help him process his perception that it "flopped" because it obviously didn't and his self esteem was taking a hit.

He did amazing at that jazz club. Ariel's fathers role was to say...."you are amazing my son and THAT was amazing." Anything below that is a shame. ....if that is how Ariel wishes to be pushed then that is different, but his parents have been expecting this piano thing from him since before he was born so he has to feel some natural pressure stemming from him feeling he needs appreciation from his parents. I hope he stands on his own two feet with his talent and doesn't feel he owes anything to his parents as he matures.

[@thesouluniversal]

@Andrew Friend True. If she was to take on agents they would rip her off anyway, at least this way it stays in the family, luckily they seem to know what theyre doing and doing it well, which is a remarkable stroke of luck (cough). Is it her name on the house Wewe? I imagine not, in which case when she moves on they can sell it for a smaller place and have made another profit off her, shes too young and naive yet to be aware of any of these subtle kinds of tricks. Theyre making far more from her art than any of it is worth though so they have done that for her, as Andrew pointed out. Forgive my cynicism, I speak from experience both in artists agents and being stolen from by my family, who we trust right up until reality smacks us in the face.

[@joelwillems4081]

They'll have made about $10m by the time she turns 18. Lop off about 1/2 for taxes and $1m for the house. I'm not going to lose sleep over the fact they "only" have about $4m to spend/save/invest over eight years.

[@enanefy]

​@@daLukasMain really? Ariel's father literally started playing his son Bach from birth, and was highly invested in having a piano in the house before Ariel was even born. I think that's more conditioning than allowing your child to "become who/what they are." that said, Ariel is an incredible talent and that should be NURTURED, not CONDITIONED to continue along this path. i cannot see the nuances in the parenting of Ariel with this video. I can only hope that they have pure intensions.
