We often joke amongst each other that when we were small kids we couldn't even speak properly, forget about remembering something. And that's true to some extent as small kids particularly two to three-year-olds can barely speak a few words clearly.
And here comes a girl who remembers all the capitals of the countries of the world! Yes, that's true. Meet two-year-old Rimhas from Hyderabad who is so smart that she has all the capital names on her fingertips. Her mother just utters the name of the country and she doesn't even take a second to say the answer.
Not only this, Rimhas has also memorized the capitals of all Indian states and it's amazing to see her blurt out their names like a little Polly parrot.
While Rimhas has a sharp brain, her mother is worried that she would miss out on opportunities to grow further as they don't have proper educational facilities at home and being a middle-class family, they can't afford it as well.

Where should parents draw the line
While watching the video, we could clearly see that there were moments when Rimhas was totally disinterested and irritated with her mother's questions. She even starts crying in the middle of the video trying to tell her mother that she doesn't want to do it anymore, but her mother doesn't give up.
But what we shouldn't forget is that she is just a two-year-old who happens to have a super brain, that's all. There are many signs that can tell you if you are an over pushy parent. Here are some of them:
1. You never let your child choose: If you want your child to do what you want rather than letting them do what they want, it's a sign that perhaps you are pushing your child too hard.
2. You want people to talk about your child's achievement: We all want our kids to be smarter than others, but if you constantly make an effort to talk about your child's special skills or publicly ask him to demonstrate his knowledge, chances are you're being way pushy than your think.
3. You get angry if your child says no: Pushy parents also get really angry if their child doesn't listen to them or does something they don't approve of. If you go through the same feelings, it's time you take it easy and let your child enjoy his childhood because it is not going to come back again.
