I think Freeman is figured more prominently in Episode I, which I couldn't find elsewhere. I remember at least one story with Freeman featuring a toddler "genius." This story made it into the international press. I was still in relative darkness regarding GT, so I didn't follow closely... but I remember thinking that the poor child couldn't possibly benefit. I imagine that Freeman is trying to raise awareness, although I wish she could find another way to do it.
This episode (#2) followed three of the kids from the first episode. There was only about a one-two year gap between episodes, but it was more than enough to demonstrate the incredible growth these kids experience.
I think that the parents & families were just as interesting as the "genius" children. A couple seemed particularly overwhelmed by their children, and that hits awfully close to home (at times, anyhow). While I don't see an acclaimed composer or child-novelist in our son, I sure saw a bit of his anti-parental behavior in one of the boys.
In the end, the show provided a bit of perspective for me. And reminds me that no matter the degree of challenge we face, it could always be greater.
