What I was saying is that kids grow up/mature a whole lot earlier

You can accept that or not.
So a couple of years more mature/grown up does not make them wise.
So how old in your expert opinion does one have to be in order to be "wise"?
And when are you going to hit that age?

Well... not so much any more, but 25 - 30 years ago you would have
been impressed.)
Robert, had her parents not seen that she showed extraordinary

prettiest, bla bla. Her parent may be idiots compared to her. She
the child may very well rule the roost as many teenagers do.
But not yours of course.
