Gifted 5-year-old boy with Einstein-level IQ joins sister as member of Mensa

ROCKAWAY TOWNSHIP, New Jersey — One family in New Jersey is ecstatic now that they have more than one little Einstein walking around.

A 5-year-old boy named Maddox Lopez already knows his times tables before starting kindergarten. Maddox’s parents, Delano and Meachel, who are talented individuals themselves, take great pride in their son’s abilities, as he follows in the educational path of his older sister, Declan.

Declan Lopez became a Mensa member a year ago. Mensa represents the top 2% of the population with an IQ of 130 or higher.

Meachel Lopez says both kids love learning, but there are differences.

“Maddox has a strong interest in math and coding. He likes discovering shortcuts in video games and software, while Declan is an intellectual who enjoys learning across various subjects,” mentioned his parents.

Maddox works on problem solving even with computer games.

Delano Lopez is also a Mensa member and a teacher in Jersey City. He says his wife is the true reason why his kids are brilliant.

“Declan put in a lot of extra effort with the children. Even after they returned to school following the pandemic, she had a detailed daily schedule focusing on different subjects,” they explained.

The message board at home focuses on scientific topics and math.

“You have to let the kid kind of lead a little bit because then they’re not going to enjoy it, and they’re not going to enjoy learning,” Meachel Lopez said. “And I don’t want that to be. I don’t want to create a situation where my child is amazing but they don’t want to learn because I’ve been too stringent or strict.”

Whatever they are doing as parents, it’s working.

“I try to teach them to be humble and to be gracious,” Meachel Lopez said.
