I also agree that “blame” isn’t productive, and there’s no indication that these parents have anything but the best intentions for their kids. That’s why getting professional help could really turn the tide here-- help for the child, and the parents in parenting a gifted child. The OP is right in that there’s no need to push a kid like his little brother- if anything they need to be allowed to slow down, and a professional might be able to help his parents understand that.
