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 +
Some time ago a reader requested that I add feeds to my blog. I am new to this technology and unfamiliar with its implementation and consequences...so I am trying an experiment. I have added an Atom feed (just like RSS I suppose), for those who might want to take it.

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.

Hi, Valentine - I have subscribed to your feed - I use Bloglines, for which there is also a button on my site so that other people can peruse all my RSS/Atom subscriptions.
Also, I have just added you into my on-site del.icio.us blog-roll.
Kind regards,
Julie
Thank you Julie.
I am just learning about the technology, so it is rewarding to get positive feedback like this. I will have to look into del.icio.us and Bloglines - since I am unfamiliar with both.
I keep popping over to have a look at your site every day or two...keep up the interesting work.
Kind regards
