The parents of the child, Anira Asikin and Muhammad Hilmi Naim, both of whom studied engineering, never expected their son to show signs of such brilliant intelligence.
"We did not have much experience, so we all believe that all children are alike," Anera (30 years) was quoted by the Metro UK newspaper as saying. She added, “We only knew about it when Harris started going to the nursery, where they told us there that he was much superior to others, so we realized that he was really special. He was able to read some of his favorite books during his time in kindergarten.
Lynn Kendall, a psychologist specializing in gifted children, tested the genius child Harris herself.
She said: «We do not want him to feel that he is not getting enough stimulation, but at the same time we do not want him to feel that he is under pressure. We want him to be a normal child, having fun, playing and doing normal things, like any other child. ”
Harry's parents had established a YouTube channel when he was two years old, and he bore the name "Little Harry" (Little Harry), so that other kids could watch him, and he feels kind of encouraged.
