The boy who knew too much: a child prodigy

This is the true story of scientific child prodigy, and former baby genius, Ainan Celeste Cawley, written by his father. It is the true story, too, of his gifted brothers and of all the Cawley family. I write also of child prodigy and genius in general: what it is, and how it is so often neglected in the modern world. As a society, we so often fail those we should most hope to see succeed: our gifted children and the gifted adults they become. Site Copyright: Valentine Cawley, 2006 +

A new champion blog reader?

I have noticed that some new visitors to my blog do spend quite some time reading. Some read many, many posts in one go. I find this encouraging for it indicates that I must be writing something of worth to people - otherwise no-one would take such trouble.

Today is a case in point. A reader from Seinjoki in Western Finland spent 2 hours, 37 minutes and 5 seconds reading 96 pages of my blog. I would have to check back, to see past records, but I think it likely that our Finnish visitor is a new Gold Medallist in the blog reading stakes.

Julie said...: Hi, Valentine - your posts are always interesting so it's not surprising some people have readathons here. Just called by to say, hi - I like to read you when I can.; 12:55 AM
Valentine Cawley said...: Thanks Julie for your kind words. I too have a look at your blog when the opportunity arises. I have just read your thoughts on Kumari's or living Goddesses. Shocking that they would "disbar" her, in the first place, for simply travelling.

I trust you are well.

Best wishes.; 1:35 AM

As a child, I had many gifts...perhaps too many - and this leads to the characteristic problem many gifted children face: what to do, when there is so much you COULD do. I resolved the issue by doing each of them serially throughout my life. I had gifts in science, writing, art, music, acting and academia...and so my life has demonstrated each of these, at some time. However, in the modern world, those who specialize, and focus all their efforts on one thing, tend to win through. In the light of this I have written two books, which are being prepared for publication. I was a child in a time when being gifted was not something people spoke about: it was not a widely recognized situation - at least not in my background. Nothing special was done therefore, to help. It is my wish that all in that position, these days, receive the support that is needed, to become the best they can be. I have been an actor, a writer of two books, a government physicist, at age 17, the founding editor of an Arts magazine, at 22, and a performance artist whose work was covered by CNN (interviewer: Richard Blystone) and Reuters. However, my greatest achievement is to have fathered three sons.
