what did albert’s mother think of him?

Albert’s mother thought he was a freak —someone strange and different from other children, mainly because of his unusual behaviour and way of thinking.

Context in simple terms

In the school-text context this question usually comes from (the chapter often titled “A Truly Beautiful Mind” about Albert Einstein), his mother doesn’t see him as a “born genius” or future world ruler.

Instead, she finds him odd, worried by how different he seems from other kids, which is why the correct answer is that she considered him a freak.

Why “freak” and not “genius”?

• He behaved and thought in ways that didn’t fit normal expectations for children.

• His uniqueness made even his own mother perceive him as strange, not just talented.

So if you’re answering a multiple-choice question “What did Albert’s mother think of him?”, the exam-style answer is: She thought he was a freak.
