1. The first one is what you'd hear. The second one is grammatical and means the same thing, but it's too literary for everyday speech.

2. The first one is what you'd hear. The second one is grammatical and means the same thing, but it's too literary for everyday conversation.

3. Neither is right. The sentence should be something like: This book is about how to educate a child. "This book is about how a parent educates his child..." would mean the book is about how some particular parent educated his child.

4. These are not right. If a person is wise beyond his years, he would not be communicating like a 10 year old - 10 year olds still have rudimentary communication skills. This should be something like: She's only 10 years old but she's wise beyond her years and communicates like an adult.
