What can I do to develop my child into a prodigy?
First, look within
Consider whether it's desirable to pursue this on behalf of your child. I recommend Naomi Aldort's work in guiding your approach as a parent.
Get out of the way
The most important thing for parents of very young children is not to interfere with them as much as possible. As much as you can, simply observe, be there as an aware presence, available to your child but not directing their activities. A child needs above all space, the space to be themselves, to simply be. See the original sources here.
Don't praise
Described very well here, praise undermines a child's opportunity to reward herself for her achievement.
Praise, repeated throughout a child’s development can deflect her focus away from the inner will to create, play, and do, outward to our adult response to what she creates, plays, and does.
