We all are capable of changing things. Why should groups of children be the only ones who could do so?

There is a difference between putting someone on a pedestal and acknowledging their achievements and encouraging them on their path. Which one their parents/media are doing, it's hard to say since we don't know their home life.
If I had a child which showed heightened intelligence, gifts, etc you can bet your last dollar I would do everything in my power to help them maximize it. At the same time I would teach them to be humble and understand that it is something that does not make then better than anyone else.
