How good do you think you'd be at raising a child who is a great deal smarter than any previous human?
Let's assume you're sane enough to not resent the child's superintelligence. Still, what does the child need?
Tentative suggestion: people who are interested in the project should aim for at least a dozen superintelligent children in the first generation so that at least they have some company.
That starts to remind me of Ender's Game series, in particular Shadow of the Hegemon.
