That would be impossible to tell. We only really follow the lives of child prodigies who DO achieve greatness. So all child prodigies that history has recorded did, but that would be a misleading statistic.
The greatest achievers in any field, historically speaking, have been those that have overcome great adversity or challenges to achieve their greatness. Einstein failed high school math. General Patton was continuously reprimanded at west point. Degas said in his memoirs that he had great difficulty drawing the simplest pictures as a child.

Sadly no. And basically, a lot depends on the child's parents.They shouldn't push too much or not enough. They need to take their cues from the child. All children, prodigies or not, know their own minds. Go with the flow!

no because they may have thier creative side ehich is the right side of the brain but sometimes there is a chemical imbalance so the left side which is the side that performs actions may not work right so well theres bieng lazy to achiev thier goles and little phobias that stop them from reaching great goles of success so that little protigy gene will be hidden in the darkness and will hardly ever be used in life and those people are the ones that sleep on the ground in places being shunned by their family and the only thing he says day by day is "can you spare some change"

no a majority crack under the pressure, and instead of failing because they are afraid of not being perfect they give up trying.

They can be, but they need special care from the parents.
