Bengaluru: The record for being an intelligent toddler
is set by Rishiv Tanguturi (born on January 12,2018) of Bengaluru, Karnataka.
He can identify 56 cartoon characters, 53 airline logos, 55 company logos, 23
musical instruments, 64 car logos, 20 scientists, 50 billionaires with their
sources of income, 27 Hindu gods and goddesses, 45 traffic signals, 24 sea
animals, 55 flags, 36 tourist destinations of the world, all keyboard keys and
Chess pieces. He can also identify and sort out Australian dollars, at the
tender age of 2 years and 11 months, as confirmed by the Asia Book of Records
(ABR).
Rishiv first got featured in the India Book of Records
(2019) and now in Asia Book of Records (2020) for his exceptional memory.
He can also identify 57 flowers, 50 dog breeds, 20 chilies and all the
prime ministers of Australia.
His parents say, "During the tender age of 8 months,
our son was able to differentiate the colors, for example, light blue vs dark
blue. We understood that for this age, it's quite difficult to identify and we capitalized on
it. We started introducing him to Country flags flashcards at the age of 9
months and he was able to identify around 50 country flags at the age of 10
months. He was able to point out the right country flag when we named the
country. This was where we realized that he is blessed with photogenic memory
and we introduced him to various other topics. Anything that we introduced him
to, he picked it up in a week's time."
"We used play-based techniques and spent 15 minutes
a day to achieve this. During the initial days when we introduced
flashcards to him (the cards that were shown are Australia,
India, Canada, and USA) he picked them up correctly.
We thought he has picked this in a random fashion and we forgot about this
incident. After a week we asked him 50 country flags and he was able to
identify 44 out of 50 correctly."
The news of record filled the parents with pride.
"Being in Australia
representing for Asia Book of Records is something that we will remember
lifelong." Their message to other parents is: Spend few minutes a day
with your kid. If the children are given an opportunity and the right tools to
make them learn in a fun way, any kid can achieve impossible levels.
