Jimalita Tillman knew her daughter Dorothy Jean was gifted at a very young age. Home-schooled from age 7, Dorothy Jean took high school-level courses a year later and earned her first college diploma, an associate's degree, at age 10. She added a bachelor's degree at age 12 and an environmental science master's degree two years later, both online. Last year, at just 17 years old, Dorothy Jean earned a doctoral degree in integrated behavioral health from Arizona State University. Watching Dorothy Jean accomplish so much at a young age has been "humbling," her mother tells CNBC Make It.

☆ Mom of 18-year-old with a doctorate shares her No. 1 parenting rule: It made my daughter want 'to learn more'

Having an 18-year-old daughter with a doctorate is both "humbling" and "inspiring," says Jimalita Tillman. "I look to her even as inspiration for things I do in my own day to day life," Jimalita tells CNBC Make It. Jimalita, a single parent who started home-schooling her daughter around the age of 7, did a lot to facilitate those accomplishments. She recognized early that her daughter possessed outsized curiosity and a zeal for learning that set her apart from many other children, she says. "Early on, what was important was allowing her to lead and teach me things, even if I knew them already," Tillman says.
