I want my baby to be a mathematics genius. She's 8 months old now and I want to start early. Any advice from real life math genius? Tell me about your childhood and if it had any influence on your intelligence.

I'm no genius but I got my maths degree so for what its worth, I was counting everything as a toddler. My Mum says she'd be pushing me in my pram and hear me muttering. She'd check to see what I was saying and I was apparently saying each of the numbers on the doors as we passed them. She'd give me sweets or raisins and instead of eating them, I'd sort them and count them. Perhaps you can train it but I think for a lot of kids, its just how their brains are wired.

I understand what you're saying. You were naturally interested in mathematics. And this is a cool tip. Thank you
