    They are too much engaged with their own issues!

    Hence why Calvin’s head is bigger, but he’s still got the same intelligence as before. He thinks using being words like “unavoidably detained” means he’s smarter.

    Anything, like a living tiger in the house for example?

    @Night-Gaunt49: Some studies have shown that in humans, larger brain size does correlate to intelligence, but the correlation is small, so it’s not highly significant. Here is one study:Click here: McDaniel, Michael A.: Big-brained people are smarter: A meta-analysis of the relationshipbetween in vivo brain volume and intelligenceFor infants, a larger brain size at the age of one predicts a higher IQ later in life:Click here: Gale, Catharine R.: The Influence of Head Growth in Fetal Life, Infancy, and Childhood on Intelligence at the Ages of 4 and 8 Years

    @Night-Gaunt49: In the case of Calvin, research into highly intelligent children is a lot more interesting than brain-size research. For example, Kazimierz Dabrowski identified five “overexcitabilities” in highly gifted children, one of which is an extremely vivid imagination. The following description fits Calvin perfectly. In particular, it fits the current story about Calvin going off on a creative tangent rather than working on his homework:Imaginational Overexcitability reflects a heightened play of the imagination….. (Dabrowski & Piechowski, 1977; Piechowski, 1979, 1991). Often children high in Imaginational Overexcitability mix truth with fiction, create their own private worlds with imaginary companions and dramatizations to escape boredom. They find it difficult to stay tuned into a classroom where creativity and imagination are secondary to learning rigid academic curriculum. They may write stories or draw instead of doing seat work or participating in class discussions, or they may have difficulty completing tasks when some incredible idea sends them off on an imaginative tangent.This excerpt came from the following article:Click here: Lind, S.: Overexcitability and the Highly Gifted Child

    Calvin the Magnificent will now attempt to divine the answers having never before seen the questions.

    Susan… why do you dislike Calvin’s parents?!? I tend to view them as perfect parent “foils” to the character of Calvin. I have always enjoyed how they can both show the frustration they have with some of Calvin’s many actions, but are also clearly, loving parents.
