Rick Beato has done a lot of videos on perfect pitch. His son has perfect pitch, but he does not. How Children Develop Perfect Pitch - ▶ this video Perfect Pitch vs Relative Pitch: Which Is More Important? - link Why Adults Can't Develop Perfect Pitch - link
In another video Rick Beato said he facilitated development of his son's perfect pitch by exposing him to a lot of complex music in early age. link His hypothesis, based on some studies, is that children in ealy age have ability for perfect pitch but later loose it, if it's not utilized. The same way as young children are able to percieve any phoneme of any language, but later loose this ability and only recognise phonemes of the language spoken in the family (that's a known scientific fact). ▶ this video
Rick Beato has some videos about how he trained his kids: ▶ this video I never tried anything similar nor have a music background but found it fascniting to watch it
