child prodigies
Remarkably talented youth
Child prodigies are children who display exceptional talent or ability far beyond what's typical for their age, usually in a specific domain like music, mathematics, or chess.
The term suggests innate genius rather than mere precocity from intensive training: Mozart was a child prodigy who composed symphonies before age ten.
The plural appears more often than the singular, perhaps because we discuss the phenomenon collectively.
