Some kids can wow us with their abilities, from being precocious philosophers to musical prodigies. Whether a child’s extraordinary talents are due to “nature” or “nurture” is always a big question mark, but there’s no question that some kids stand out among their peers for the things they can do.

Sometimes they even stand out from grownups. Take young Aldie from Prince George, British Columbia, for example, whose ability to articulate his feelings exceeds many adults. When you find out he was barely 4 years old at the time, hearing him calmly talk about his emotions and good choices is all the more remarkable.
