Children cluster around the middle of the IQ distribution, much more so than adults. The vast majority of children with 120+ IQ scores aren't actually children. They're adults who have time traveled back to their childhood to see how their life would have been different if they "knew then what I know now". As they get older, the advantage of being intellectually an adult in a child's body goes away. Their lives might improve slightly over the one they had in the chronological thread they came from but generally not by much as they make new mistakes in place of the ones the knew to avoid.
