I think it’s a nice story. Not so much the Mensa stuff, but their parents seem to be attentive and have a good relationship with them. Not pushing them into things they don’t like and instead encouraging them in things they enjoy (like the video games).

The child wanted to be in mensa? Why?

I was just saying I personally don’t see much benefit in mensa, and therefore don’t particularly find that part heart warming. I also think labeling kids that early is rarely beneficial. It does come off as rather child exploitation-y. But at least it sounds like their parents are doing their best to make sure their kids are raised in a balanced way.
